i have 10,000+ sports cards (mostly baseball and basketball) of various brands. what is the best way to organize them? by brand, then sport, then year? or some other order?

6/13/2007 12:47:10 PM

well

id probably separate by sport, then year, then brands

but thats just me

6/13/2007 1:05:14 PM

a resounding durr.

6/13/2007 1:07:17 PM

i'll try ^^'s suggestion

6/13/2007 1:16:11 PM

i will buy all the NBA ones

6/13/2007 1:17:18 PM

for the right price that can be arranged

6/13/2007 1:24:01 PM

what years did you collect

are there any inserts

i dont want any of it if they are all common

What would you be looking to get for your NBA ones?

and you do realize cards arent worth shit right now

well things that used to be hard to get

like Autographs, jerseys, floors, etc

is now like 4 per box and has completely driven the price down

now days every card in a base set is common, it sucks

i would need to look through some cards before i would know about how much you may have

again, what years did you collect?

6/13/2007 1:35:34 PM

There's no market for cards right now. A few inserts aside, they're basically worth the paper they're printed on.

6/13/2007 1:37:40 PM

Thats not true at all.

There's a market for cards. It's not as large as it was several decades ago, but it's there.

6/13/2007 1:39:32 PM

Kobe, LeBron, Wade, Anthony, Iverson, and Nash

thats really the only ones worth keeping

what is nice is you can get much nicer cards than when I was younger for cheap

and yeah they arent worth anything, but I still like to keep up a current collection of some players

generally, all the badass cards I have saved from the 80s and early 90s have lost about 60-70% of their values over the past 15 years.

For instance, I have a 86 Jordan card that used to be priced at about $1700.

It is now about $400 most places I look.

Hell, take the Ken Griffey rookie Upper Deck card. Shit used to be like $130.

I think it's about 25 now.

btw, I have a pretty fucking awesome collection that I'd be willing to get rid of. Football, Baseball, Basketball. all sorts of shit.

6/13/2007 1:43:45 PM

It would take 6 people to move all my binders of NBA cards

I too am a victim of the Griffey Jr rookie

the trick now is to get your cards graded, that is now the new way to keep the value and wellbeing of your cards

I have some graded cards

I have always said when I buy thr Jordan rookie I am done, no less than a Beckett or PSA 8

6/13/2007 1:46:11 PM

my cards are from 1987-2002ish

6/13/2007 2:12:09 PM

same here

well if you got all the nba ones together id probably look them over
