I have sooooo many from the 80s and 90s - and a bunch from the 70s that I got at a garage sale when I was a kid. I'm 29 now.

They're worth NOTHING. I had these high hopes that if I held on to them, they would be worth something.

There goes my retirement.

It all depend on which ones you have. Like Hank Aaron, Pete Rose, stuff like that. I have one of Hank that is worth $1,500. So look and see which one you might have. You can actually take them to a shop that handles these and they can tell you how much they are worth.

I'll just hang on to them. You never know. Some day they may go back up.

Damn the good old days. I was so obsessed with collecting and baseball back then I knew stats for just about everyone.

+1000

just holding on to my collection too.

Even when I liked baseball, I couldn't sit and watch a whole game. It moves way too slow for me. Perhaps that why I listen to punk rock....shorts songs for short attention spans. I'd take football, muay Thai, MMA, and women's beach volleyball over half a baseball game any day.

You've sparked my curiosity MontegoGoGoGo...I'm gonna have to see what my childhood stash of baseball cards is looking like. While I'm at it, I should also see how my precious Peyton Manning and Urlacher rookie cards are doing, too...... Regardless, I'll hold on to all of them. Not like they take up much space anyways and, yeah, maybe they'll reclaim some lost value. And this thread also reminds me that I never did look for those garbage pail kids, either.

Hell, I think the GPK are worth more money.
