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. |

And Beckett's new site sucks ass. Hey guys, maybe test the site before you put it out there next time. |

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. |

Surhoff. I value my 1978 Topps Len Barker higher than any Kevin Maas card, though. |

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. |
