I gave up collecting Baseball/Sports cards a long time ago. Too many sets and subsets and " special " sets. Got to be more of a headache than it was worth.

At age 12, I had a Pete Rose card. Knowing nothing about cards I had a friend who wanted to trade me 10 cards for my Pete Rose card. I said wow he is nice to me and said okay. So I go home with my 10 cards thinking what a great deal. Remember I knew nothing about the value of cards. We use to buy them for less then 50cents a pack that comes with a stick of bubble gum. I bought it for the gum primarily. lol Today I look and see that the card I gave away is worth alot of money. I can only shake my head at this for I truly knew nothing about the value of baseball cards. Some friend that was The same goes for comic books I use to own. I can only shake my head today.

Now I know if you own something that is older then 50 or even a 100 years, you have a good chance it is worth something and especially if it was owned or is about a famous person in this world.

Watched a show where a lady had fourteen 1914 Cracker Jack baseball cards in a album. Cracker Jack Baseball Cards where in Cracker Jack boxes at one time! Today her collection is valued at over $60,000 dollars! I use to love the small fold out comics in the cracker jack boxes as a kid

My advice for anyone who owns or likes cards... Buy all the quality rookies that you can, the older the better, while the demand is nil... Sit on them until you die. Will them to a loved one with a card which demands the same... I have about 50,000...have no idea of what they are worth, and really do not care. The inserts/subsets were huge at first, then became problematic for the average 'joe' to make heads or tails of. I suspect that the souvenier cards which have actual material in them will be more valuable than an average card later on. I once, as a kid, owned a Yaz rookie which, when looked into Becketted at $125. I sold it for $100 thinking that I did ok. He was inducted into the hall about 2 months later... I thought he was already there...
