We have a large inventory of sports cards available.
The 4 major sports make up the majority of the cards, along withsome other sports, and other collectible cards.
They range from a few hundred cards each from 1967 through the 70's.
Thousands of 1980 through 2000, depending on brand.
and a few hundred of various brands from 2001 and newer.
The condition of the older cards is not as good as the newer cards.
We will sell everything as a single lot, or piece it out.
Total current count is over 500,000 cards.
These are in large and small card storage boxes,
and sets, both factory and hand collated.
Included in the storage boxes will be thousands of star and
semi-star cards in protective sleeves and many in top load
card protectors.
The minimum sale amount is $1.00 plus shipping charges.
This will be for 1 or 2 cards sent in a padded envelope.
This is not the minimum amount per card.
We will sell larger lots for less per card, depending on the
cards purchased and the amount of cards in each order.
This is due to the time and cost of organizing each order.
Individual player and team lots will be listed in our store as time permits. (See Below.)
You can also send a want list, and we will do our best to fill it.
Some thoughts about card collecting past, present, and future.
Growing up in the late 60's and 70's, walking to the small store down the street andbuying a few pieces of candy and a few packs of sports cards was a favorite thing
to do. The cards were used for tabletop baseball games, and for making noise in your
bike spokes. We kept a few of the local players, and some of the national stars separate,
but even they were played with and looked at regularly. The only brand available was Topps.
1980 brought us Fleer (printed in years past) and Donruss. This gave sports card buyers
more choices to spend their money on.
The late 80's brought us Score, and then the start of the regular issue premium brands,
Upper Deck. Again, more choices to spread around the dollars of collectors.
The 90's brought us an explosion of card brands and card types, making it
nearly impossible to collect every card of a favorite player or team.
Regular issue cards, parallels, inserts, autographed, game used, whatever
the card companies could come up with to sell more packs.
Slowing sales in recent years has brought the number of brands back down.
We have seen an increase of people looking to fill some holes in their collection
over the last year or so. This is a good trend in sports card collecting.
What will this lead to in the future? No one knows for sure, but the trend seems to
be heading back to individuals collecting their favorite players and teams as they
used to do.
The Hard Decision
We have other business responsibilities that take most of our time.This business, and website have always been something I enjoy.
We have restricted its growth over the last few years, trying to maintain
a balance of our other projects. They have grown larger than expected.
It is time to let another person take over, that can devote more time and
energy to moving this business forward.
Serious offers will be considered.
