sports cards growing up, or do you still? I collected baseball cards from about the mid 80's to mid 90's. I was a big Ryne Sandberg fan, so I have a lot of his cards, along with his rookie card and some other rookie cards that at the time I thought were going to be worth some money when they retired and went into the Hall of Fame. I have Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire, Raffy Palmeiro, etc. All those douches probably won't go to the Hall, hence the worthiness of the cards will go down. I do have a lot of old cards from 50's and 60's but no real superstar.
Any Wastelanders collect cards? Anything worthy you may have?

I used to collect baseball cards as well. I don't know if I have any that are worth anything. I did have autographed Andre Dawson and Shwonn Dunston but I don't know what happened to them.
In the mid-90's I started collecting/buying NFL and NBA cards but I didn't get as big of a collection with them.
Now I collect and play (yeah I'm a geek/nerd) Magic The Gathering, although my purchasing slowed way down once I got married and had kids.

I also used to collect baseball cards. I think my parents still have them stored away in the attic or something. I do remember that I have a couple of Junior Griffey rookie cards as well as one or two A. Bartlett Giamatti cards. Who knows if those will be worth something someday.
I really only got into collecting cards for one summer, so I don't have a ton of them.

I have some pretty boss cards. I have this one card that has Bo Jackson in shoulder pads holding a baseball bat. It was worth a lot back in 1990, so now that it is really old, it must be worth at least a grand or os. It looked like this:  I also had a Jerome Walton Upper Deck rookie card. That's probably worth a few grand, too. |

I have a shitload of old baseball cards from when I was kid. They are in storage somewhere. I had the complete set of Topps cards for like a 9 year span from the late 80's into the mid 90's

I have a shit ton of topps cards from 86 through 90 and have the complete set for those years.
Of course that was when it was huge to collect them so they are still worth nothing today.
