Speaking of hotel convention centers.... is there anything more 90's than some baseball player signing autographs in a hotel on Cornhusker Hwy. I can't even remember who my dad took me to get. Maybe Dwight Gooden and a few others.
Sports Cards. What is your best card and story?? And Do you Grade??? Need some serious advice.

All the matters is what is grades at with PSA...I don't follow it a lot but I feel like in the last year card prices have gone down a decent amount. Also what do you mean #1 of 50?
Only 50 of that particular card were manufactured. It’s very rare. No matter what the grade is he’s going to get a lot of money for it. Some Jordan collector out there needs it and will pay up.
It is LITERALLY the first one printed. Only 50 were made and this is #1. The dealer's I talked to said that can add anywhere from an extra 20 to 25 percent to the value.
I didn't notice any numbers on the card from online sources having to do with 1-50.
Sold my massive collection about 10 years ago. Kept only a few. Ozzie Smith RC is my favorite. I frequently miss it, but it’s just a bit overwhelming, and grading is all part of the fun that has been drained out of it. That said, if my kiddos had any interest, i would no doubt reengage. I have 2 girls and they don’t have any interest.
Exactly.
If you look on EBay the ones that are listed are the ones with the blue boarder. This has the black boarder refractor.
Again, depending on condition the could be $$$
Very, very rare.
Superman - show a picture from the internet of the card you have if you could?Exactly.

This is actual sales though - so I’m not so sure. Anyone can ask $20k for a card but I believe this site measures actual price. Probably good to temper expectations - hopefully he gets more. Even if he doesn’t - still an unreal find in commons!
PSA then Beckett for basketball. Don’t do SGC unless it’s vintage.
There’s a show in council bluffs this summer and graders will be there.
If anyone is selling their collection I’ll gladly buy. If it’s vintage we’ll pay 80% of comps to 90% for bigger cards. We’ll buy anything from 1k to 200k range.
Agree 100%. The grade will determine everything. Even if it comes back a an 8, it is still going to be in the thousands.
Correct! When I sent cards out to get graded from my childhood - I had a Jordan beam team from stadium club first year that came back as a 9.5.
My Montana RC came back as an 8.5 but I’m going to send in to PSA to have it regraded - if it hits a minimum that I will list they will repackage and put it in their case. Difference from 8.5 to 9 is pretty big and it had a 9.5 sub grade, 8.5, 8.5 and an 8 …. Hoping it will get me over the hump with PSA.
I know my cousin still has his OJ Simpson rookie card hoping it shoots the roof lmao
Getting it graded is a solid move—PSA’s probably your best option for something that rare.
If you’re clearing out the storage and still into cards, you should check out live sports card breaks. It’s a fun way to snag some big hits without dropping cash on full boxes.

After picking out any cards that were worth a little bit, i threw away thousands of cards from the 80's and 90's. I sill collect vintage cards. I just finished the 1965 Topps baseball set, worked on it for 30+ years. They are my favorite baseball cards of all time. Must be over 30 HOF in that set. My set is in the Ex Mint to near mint range except for a few graded stars. Set is probably worth over $5000.
PSA Grading in theory should help you get more for the card, but that will be dependent on what the grade ends up being. Based on what the storage conditions sound like, it seems like there may be some kind of damage…
I had a buddy get a MTG card graded, he pulled it from a pack, knew it was a high value card and instantly protected it, came back graded as a 9.5 and not a 10, because of some unnoticeable “damage” to an edge… that simple 9.5 compared to a 10, knocked off ablut 2-3k from the estimated value of the card… what you see listed online are typically the value of the card as a perfect 10…
It’s not a bad thing to get it graded, I’d most likely get that graded if it was me, it’s a nice card and a great find so congrats on that. And good luck with whatever you decide to do with it
I finished my 1965 set about ten years ago. I have been working on filling in vintage baseball, basketball and football sets for most of my life.
Just for interest, what is the usual cost from PSA for grading single cards? Thanks RDP
I want to say it was $20-$30 or so but it’s been a while. I only did it on cards that would make sense. Honestly with my one card grading to a 9.5 it made up for all the others.
Depends on the value of the card and turnaround time. A regular card with a insured value up to $500 and a 45 business day turnaround can run $25. Twenty day time, $40.
The more valuable the card, the higher fee. There are different tiers into $1000's per card. Bulk rates of minimum of 20 cards with $500 insured value can be $15/card.
It's not cheap.
