An old box with over 2,000 baseball cards 1987-1992

[artslinger]

Hello, I bought this box full of cards from 1987 to 1992 at a garage sale. Are there any ball experts here? These are but two that I have begun to review for possible value. Can anyone help me determine the grading process? These two look to be in excellent condition. Would they be considered a 8-10? I saw the same card with the "Desert Shield" logo online with 79 or 93 watchers and listed for $59,000. Mine are not desert shield, but hopefully have a little value. As always thank you for your feedback and comments.

Unfortunately & I do not mean to burst your bubble, but most Sports cards in this era were overproduced & because of this overproduction, their value is diminished. Millions of cards were produced. The major junk wax era is usually defined as between 1986-1992 where companies such as Topps, Fleer & Donruss would continue printing the same set of cards the entire summer.

Limited print run sets with quality rookie cards such as 1992 Bowman are the exception. Even if the card is in Near-Mint or better condition & is of a Hall-of-Famer, the value can be really low. Rookie cards of Hall-of-Famers & a few iconic cards are another minor exception. Commons are pretty much of no value from the major companies of that time. Please check the usual sites such as Ebay for values.

Grading costs & demand went up during the pandemic. There are still some companies that will grade individual cards for around $25 each. Please do a quick Google search.

There are a couple of quality Sports card Forums that are of great help. I spend the majority of my time on the Blowout Cards Forum.

I know it is a thrill to find a collection. I hope you did not pay much & the cards have meaning to you.

I have two large tubs of various cards . Hockey B-ball Baseball Soccer You name it I probably have a full set of various cards. Found out most are worthless except a few. I have a Pippen rookie and last year Joe Morgan retired and one Michal J. Wish you luck. My cards are sitting in my sons basement. The cards you show are good cards.
