Going through a random box of cards...

Noticed a 1992 Chipper Jones - #5 - card made for the Fisher Nuts co. Beckett value - $6. I got two of them. woohoo

Also 2 Carlos Delgado's from the same set. Only $4 each.

I like the new search feature on Beckett's site.

You're going to pressure me into opening the rest of my 87 Topps. :angry:

Are the '87 Topps the ones with that wood style border? If so, I have that whole set. My friends used to say that set wasn't worth anything - and that was back when baseball cards had a market. They all had Fleer and Upper Deck and I had Topps and DonRuss. :(

There are three decent cards in the 87 Topps - Bonds rookie is listed at $10, McGwire is $2, Clamens and a few others are a couple dollars. the rest of the set...not that great.

Mine are in such shitty shape, so they're probably worth 1/3 those prices.

I'm currently going thru a 1990 Score set. Nothing great, but it's a complete set. I'll never understand how Kevin Maas cards can be worth so much more than your average spare's card.

The '87 set was the second set I ever completed, with the '86 being the first. I hated those wood borders because when the corners of the card started to not be a corner anymore, it made the cards look like ass. The '87 set does have a place in my collection, but it's not a set I'm 100% fond of.

Ah yes, Kevin Maas. I remember when his cards were the rage, along with Matt Nokes and B.J. Surhoff. I value my 1978 Topps Len Barker higher than any Kevin Maas card, though.

So you're telling me that these 35 Mike Loynds I bought from some kid for $100 aren't worth anything? :banghead:

I think I have that set too. The only reason I got it was for the Bo Jackson with the shoulder pads and baseball bat card. I think I spent 30 dollars at Six Flags buying 1990 Score cards just to get that card.

Sorry to interject here but is $10 really anything to get excited about? I'm not trying to be an ass, I just don't get how anyone can get excited because their card is up to $2. And that doesn't mean that's what you'll get for it right? That's cool you guys get into that stuff, I just never got it. Give me torn our Penthouse pictures any day of the week.

I don't see anyone really excited about it. I pulled all my cards down from my mom's attic, because I was going to try to sell them for whatever I could get for them. I bet if it was Star Wars action figures we were talking about, you would be all over it.

It's only exciting when you consider you can get $10 for a flimsy piece of cardboard with a dude's picture on it.

That sounds like a great father/son moment, but according to Terd, you should be showing him porn instead.

I finally finished cataloging all the cards I got from meh dad this summer. I don't have a total value tally since Beckett's site turned that feature off, but suffice to say I got enough here to buy a shitload of porn.

I cracked open a couple 1985 wax packs and scored. 2 Clemens rookies and a Puckett rookie. I didn't hit the trifecta with a McGwire, but still cool.

Fair I guess. Low end is $15 and high end is $40. I would say it's somewhere in the middle. Just caught me off guard seeing it. Friggin cool.

And also have a Micky Rivers RC. :grin:

Just finding it is pretty sweet. He is definitely my favorite non-Angel 3B.

Did you get the cards off of ebay again?
