I have over 1000 cards: at least 575 baseball cards, 145 basketball cards 35 Michael Jorden poggs (sp?) 2 Jordan slammers, 775 football cards 1 Bret Farve pogg from 1994 and some soccer, hockey, and wrestling cards. I need someone that knows what they are doing to please help me sell them off. I have some complete sets too.
 
what yaitisme said. unless you have old cards of maris and the like, they are worth almost nothing now. and unless your cards are graded out and certified by one of the places that do that, it is hard to sell them and get even what the market will bear. plus it costs a nice fee to get them graded. I have a huge box of baseball cards from the early 80's (many, many 1000s). I looked into this a little while back and figured it wasn't going to be worth the time. I had some rookie cards that I was going to sell in the early 90's for over $100 and didn't. I found some of them going for like $6 on ebay now.
 
Well I didn't sell mine. Who knows about the prices. It might take 20 years. I've been letting my 6 year old play with some of them. Not going to be worth much after that :)
 
Yup, anything after 1990 is pretty much worthless, unless its one of the inserts, I have the 1992 dream team full set (with MJ, Bird, Johnson, etc.) and its worth like $10, Back in the day it was worth more, but I thought it would only go up from there.

Pick out some of the best youve got, and try and sell the rest for $20, if you can...
 
Might as well dump them while you can, sorry to say. Unless it's graded or a rare (generally numbered) insert, it likely won't ever be worth anything.

I've got a few graded RCs (Jerry Rice, Reggie White) that still aren't worth a whole lot. The Rice is in decent shape and would maybe fetch $50 on a good day, but usually less. Odds are anything you have isn't going to be worth even close to that. I sold most of my collection a long time ago, and just kept some of my favorite player cards for sentimental purposes.

The only cards from about 1989 through the late 90s that may be worth anything would be some rookies, but even then only if they're in pristine shape and you want to have them graded.
 
flip flops i will look at them tomorrow morning to see about the Jorden stuff and i know i have a lot of rookie baseball cards
 
I have the trio of Montana, Elway, Marino Rookies they are about 150-200$ but I dont plan on selling them, the big namers are still there best just to Ebay them with the highlighted cards mentioned in the auction

I probably got over 10,000 cards that I collected by buying mostly wax packs and then fully assembled sets. Never payed too much to acquire the cards, unlike my younger brother who went to shops and bought individual cards. Now he sits on cards that were worth over a grand while I have hundreds of $ sitting in a box somewhere. :p I've had less fun spending more money (usually on Dec 31 and again in July... property taxes).
