So What Exactly Do I Do With The Thousands Of Basketball Cards I Have Now?

Man these damn things are like Beanie Babies. They told me that they would be worth some $ in the future. Now they are just sitting in my closet. Did we get lied to?

Go through em all, take out any you want to keep, then place ad on craigslist saying "10,000 basketball cards for sale for $10, pick up required" and you are done.

i have numerous shoe boxes of these cards in stored somewhere at home

I just hold on to them. Have them all in the plastic pages locked up in storage with other *#*% I don't need in the house.

It's going to hold worth. I'd be willing to bet that in 10-20 years, it'll be worth your while having them. I know all that mess with Upper Deck is going on right now, but I think that's just going to pass.

I ditched the ones I don't care about & just kept my favorites. I bought these things non stop when I was a kid.

Sell them.

Maybe you'll get enough to treat a nice young lady to dinner at IHOP.

Keep em' for nostalgia sake...

Yeah we all saw how much cards were worth when our parents still had them around so all of our generation collected. Market saturated, prices will never soar like they did again. Just keep for memories but it will be 50 years before their worth real good money

I wonder the same thing. I have tons of 'em, and thought I'd be able to buy a yacht with 'em when I was younger, FML....

But, really how come I only get these non-existent players when I open up a deck.. My best has to be My Alonzo Mourning Jordan flight club team card

Ive been wondering the same thing about all my cards too. I also have almost a complete collection of NBA starting line-up figures unopened. (Some are autographed by the players themselves. Check out this link of some of my other memorabilia. http://niketalk.com/topic/153886

Wonder if I can sell any of this stuff.
