Old Timer Vintage Collector needs help/info

[swarmee]

Yes, there are. We have had threads concerning them before. I'll see if I can dredge some up.

But really, you need a collector my age (~40) that would just go through them all and separate the worthwhile from the worthless. Someone that knows the oddball and misprints and variations, like the 1990 Topps partial blackless cards. If you were near the Florida panhandle, I'd do it for you. Some people now take videos of lots like this and post them on youtube to see if they have anything. You might take that route if you're not close to anyone.

John:

Thanks for your insight. Hope you can find previous threads. Sorry not near the Florida panhandle or I would drop them off to you.

I was asking more about rookie caards and the like.

I get that, but the rookie cards might only sell for $1-5 each. The misprints and inserts can sell for hundreds or thousands in some cases.

Here's one: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=196092
The Frank Thomas NNOF master thread on PSA's board has the 15 or so 1990 Topps cards listed which might be $1000 each.
1988 Score had some dealer promos that had 0's in the stat lines for like 5 players that can be $50-100 each.

I am doing that right now. I look for rookie cards of hall of famers or
someone like Pete Rose. You can also look by year and PSA 10 on ebay
and see who is selling for what.
