    Anybody know where there is one on the net? I saw where the big companies make you think you can get one for free, but not really.

    I think it's free to register with Beckett Online. I did that once, about three years ago, to see how much an Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card was worth.

    The answer? Not as much as I probably anticipated when I got it at the age of 15. I have a vague recollection of the fantasy of being a millionaire at this point thanks to my hundreds of Donruss Rated Rookie cards. Yes, truly, Gregg Olson and Sandy Alomar Jr-- not to mention Gary Sheffield and Gregg Jefferies-- would make me rich.

    Not bad moe. That was pretty good. I've got a lot of checking up to do...I've got some good ones I held onto.

    I don't have much good, but some of these might be worth something.

    Ok, before looking here are what I considered some of my sweetest deals as a kid.

    Pippen Fleer rookie for jordan of the same year and brand.

    Ryan- Last year on Mets for $55 and Palmeiro Rated Rookie.

    McGwire Olympic card for Will Clark Rookie Topps.

    Cal Ripken Rookie card for Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden rookies.


    Worst deals:
    Gave up Karl Malone (Fleer rookie) for crapola! I didn't know man.

    Traded for a lot of Eric Davis. Sone of a gun.

    Gave up Sean Kemp rookie for Xavier McDaniel.

    I got tore up on Fred McGriff Rookies. I Thought he would amount to nothing. Traded 'em all for Glen Davis Rookies.

    Lets see if you u all can beat this trade by me: A kid I knew loved Damon and Penny. He had a Kobe Credentials (serial #'ed to 500) worth I think 150 back in the day. I gave my entire collection up of Penny and Damon to get that card. Now that card is up to $600!!! And thats the price before they won the championship. Well I guess atleast some good came out of the Lakers winning the championship.

    Hey if anyone in here has a Francis SPX autograph rookie that u are willing to trade or sell please let me know.

    Early in the 90s, I traded my LEaf David Justice, which at the time was about $50, now it is $4, for a Sammy Sosa leaf and some other cards. I havent looked them up but I think I got a better deal [​IMG]

    Wade Boggs rookie for a Mark McGwire rookie. This is back when Wade's card was worth something.
    I am also betting on the Griffeys to make me a millionaire. I got about 15 of his Upper Deck rookies. All, in what I call MINT condition.
    I dont care for him as a player that much, but I have a hard time rooting against him [​IMG]

    hey moe u did better then i did. like two weeks ago i went to a card show in that braeswood convention hotel. I bought a freakin box of SPX for 150 bucks. The best fu@king card i got was some stupid rookie on the hawks, worth 15 bucks. That was the most expensive card I got out of the whole freaking box. I guess I aint buying boxes for a while now.

    My Chuck collection is exstensive (355). I usually just buy the cards but sometimes me and my friends will play horse for them. My best deal was when I hit a 35ft shot for a Bark Thrill Seekers and a Dream Dish and Swish. [​IMG] Although I once lost a Jordan Warp Speed on a top of the key shot. [​IMG]

    DB Curtis- I have roughly 360 different Barkley cards,probably 500-600 in all. I also have almost all of his SLU's. What I really want is an autographed Barkley basketball!!!

    tavern- I guess you did'nt do too bad after all. I just got an Ultra box+got Francis,Brand+Szerbiak RC's.

    If anyone is interested in trading,drop me a line. I have a Dream RC+2nd year card I'd consider trading.

    Here is a card collecting tradegy from my youth. I was popping out the punch holes on about 500 plastics one day. Left them all over the floor near my sofa. I was rubbing my eye afterwards and my hard contact lense fell into the pile of plastic holes I'd punched out. It looked like 1,501 contact lenses. I said F*ck, I'm never gonna find that one. That's the only lense I've ever lost in my whole life. I've found my lense in drains, on basketball courts, in my eye, in a can of soup, and what have you. That was the only lens I ever lost. Tragic.

    There should be Napster for baseball cards. Who's a programmer!
