Frank Robinson, Elio Chacon, Bill Henry, Whitey Lockman, and Tony Gonzalez. I guess I needed 5, not 4.mcburg93;1100278 wrote:What cards do you need to complete your 60 set. I have cards from early 50s to mid nineties I inherited from my grandfather. I can look through them see if he has the ones your looking for and make a deal.
I would be interested in seeing a list of all the Reds cards you had.

Yeah, that card would still be worth a couple hundred with a grade below a 4 or 5.LJ;1100283 wrote:WO

selling for $139WebFire;1100281 wrote:I was just talking about this the other night while I was getting my hair cut. We were talking about how big card collecting used to be and how the hobby is almost non-existent compared to today. I remember my mom dropping me off at card shows, usually at hotels where they rented a big room. There was also several card shops in about every town.
I can't believe how far card prices dropped. I have Jerry Rice and Bo Jackson rookies that used to be a big deal. Now they aren't but few dollars, if that. I also have a few complete sets from the late 80's. My parents would get each of the boys a complete Topps football or baseball set for Christmas. My favorite was the 1986 Topps football set. It's the one that had the Rice rookie in it. It used to be worth $200-300. Now I think you can pick it up for $10.

Remember when the 1992 Topps Brien Taylor card was all the rage? I had quite a few. Shoulda sold back then.

I think it was a 3 something, which is why my dad gave it to me back in the early 90's. He may have poached it from my set and sold it at some point when I was asking him for $$ in college.justincredible;1100287 wrote:Yeah, that card would still be worth a couple hundred with a grade below a 4 or 5.

I have 3 of the Billy Ripken "Fuck Face" cards. Also have huge boxes and folders full of sets of cards I used to collect when I was younger, some unopened.

That is very possible. Everything appears similar I just don't remember the seal on the bottom right. This one is a 97 metal universe

This would be my personal "holy grail" card. A high grade Joe Nuxhall rookie.

I saw one on ebay grade 10 for $102. It must have come up in the last couple years. The last time I looked, the whole damn set was only about $30 for mint condition.

I just looked at it to see the condition not through a teenagers eyes, corners are a bit worn, slight crease. Maybe I should get it graded, how would I do that? I also see I have the Jack Kemp from that same series.

That's just an ask price. Anyone can ask what they want. Most on ebay are $10-30.karen lotz;1100405 wrote:That link Justin shared earlier. I'm on phone now, but you can find it easily. Its the first card that comes up when toy click on football cards then 1980s then 1986.
