I found a bunch of baseball, football and basketball cards from 89-92 today and I was wondering if someone could recommend a Web site or something where I can find out how much some of these are worth.

Yeah, I don’t collect anymore and someone gave these to me a few years ago. Might as well make a few bucks. Anyone know where I can get those books around the Fox Chapel/North Hills area?

I’ll try that web site, but it says you have to pay.

I have around the same years. 87 Topps, 88 Topps, 89-92 Upper Deck.

the only thing I have that WAS worth anything was Griffey’s 89 Upper Deck. Probably worth $5 now.

When I was a kid we used to buy the magazines from like walmart or somewhere. They are called Beckett Baseball Card Price Guide…they have all sports not just baseball.  
Here is a link [http://www.beckett.com/priceguides/](http://www.beckett.com/priceguides/) They’re a bit pricy online but you can prolly get a cheaper deal in store somewhere…i’d check walmart first though.

I had several complete season, from all makers, like from '78 to '90, with doubles of all the major star cards, and about 7-8 cases of unopened wax packs, I sold them in '93 I got a whole $600.00 for everything. It really seemed like the market dropped for a long time. Then the market became Pokemon cards. Damn the money I made on those…:bigok:

the complete upper deck 89 sealed set is worth some decent money… the griffey card itself is still worth a decent amount i believe because A) it was griffey’s rookie card and B) it was card #1 in the set making it the first card upperdeck made.

card values went way down because once people started collecting. cards weren’t as rare anymore because they were all in mint condition. the cards that are still worth money are 50’s and 60’s when kids didn’t have the mindset to keep them in good condition and find one as such is few and far between,

If thats the best of the bunch I’m glad I got rid of mine. I can find that set all over the net for $99.00 or less…
