Default Active or Retired Players who Collect Cards -Query

Posted By: Glenn

I have a family member who plays in the NFL. I was visiting him one time, and he was showing me his childhood baseball card collection and asking if anything in there was valuable. Well, he had all the same things I did (Topps, Donruss, Fleer 1980s issues), so I had to tell him, "No, not anymore. You could put them on ebay, but I don't think people would even pay you the shipping charge for most of this." I suggested we go online just so he could see what I was talking about. Once we were on ebay and found all the stars' 1988 Topps cards listed for a penny with no takers, we found one of his cards from a shiny new issue, and it was listed for like $50. He thought that was funny.
