I understand Phil's frustration
And we went through this discussion on the post-war board but...
Phil is correct, with the exception of those rookies who are going to be (or will be someday) HOFers -- the 1980's rookie cards who were popular are not basically unsellable
I looked at a recent donation lot of 1982 cards and saw cards such as the Marshall/Sax rookie or the Barfield rookie which were popular at one time but now are sellable for pennies on the dollar.
This has to do with many reasons including less interest for these cards and less collectors for those cards. Now in 1982 Cal Ripken Jr is always going to be sellable -- Kent Hrbek not so much.
Heck, Jose Canseco 1986 Donruss rookie was once way over $100. Today, not so much.
