i think i know what you are asking
![]() football cards, really all cards from the 70-90's are worth about the same % of book as their baseball counterparts. that being said, football cards were produced on a much smaller scale and may actually outpreform (did i just say that!) their baseball brothers over time. hope that helps..... |

I didn't realize they were produced on a much smaller scale. Is that true for the 90's as well? |

FYI Tony, I dont think your OP was very confusing.
It is true however, that Baseball and Football are different sports. ![]() |

Over the years I've spoken to a couple dealers at local shows and they comment on how they can always sell 70's football commons very well. They would much rather carry sharp football commons from the 70's than baseball. I tend to agree. I'll always stop to look through a 10 cent commons box of mid 70's football. I won't give a baseball box a second look. Just me.

In general, football cards are worth less when compared to baseball cards of the same year. There are obviously exceptions to this rule. For instance, the value of stars varies greatly depending upon the player and what year they are in in their career. Some sets in a given year are more popular (or less available) and that impacts value/price as well.
There is a lot of debate as to whether football cards will catch baseball cards in value as the popularity of football continues to grow. Some believe this popularity will eventually increase demand for football cards and prices will increase. Others believe football's growing popularity is so broad and diverse that this doesn't necessary mean more people will want to collect football cards. Both baseball and football cards were massively overproduced in the early 90s resulting in a huge glut of sets and cards from that era. Most cards from that era are essentially worthless and you will have trouble getting someone to take them even if you give them away for free. I've heard dealers at shows tell sellers: "I wouldn't take up the space with your cards if you gave them to me". I've seen sets on ebay sit for months at 99 cents (with $10 shipping) with no takers. For the most part, if you're trying to sell sets from the early 90s, you might as well shred the cards and use them to pack other things with. Sorry to pop anyone's bubble who has a lot of cards from the early 90s they think they're going to retire on. jeff Last edited by jefferyepayne; 11-08-2012 at 05:28 AM. |

Jeff,
thanks for the great post. Pretty much sums up what I suspected but wanted to verify! Quote:
![]() Should've kept the 70's commons I suppose - but sounds like they wouldn't have been big money makers anyway as they were all in "played with as a kid" condition. No worries.... Always liked the look of some of the early Bowman sets. I put together a 52 bowman baseball set in good-vg condition a couple of years ago with only moderate difficulty and cost. How would you rate the difficulty of similar football sets in good-vg condition as far as availability and cost goes? Tony Last edited by tonyo; 11-08-2012 at 09:00 AM. |

I just thought you were over thinking the pricing of the cards in relasionship to each other.
To me the sale of a midgrade 74 Terry Bradshaw really has nothing to do with what a 74 Mike Schimdt card might sell for and visa versa. Many factors can effect the price of each of those cards, corners, centering, eye appeal, etc... but neither of those cards are one of the factors in determining the pricing of each other. I apologize if you felt offened by my Previous reply( surely not intented), I was only trying to be helpful with the question. I sense some sarcasim in the repies so I will just bow out and allow the other qualified board members to assist you. Sorry I could help you out. Regards John |

Hey John,
No harm and yep I did respond with some sarcasm but it was intended in good fun ![]() With all due respect, I think if anyone was over-thinking it was you. (That is intended in the best spirit as well). I have enjoyed looking at your football posts especially the older pictures ( I think you posted that classic of Baugh) and your Staubach collection led me to youtube to relive some of the good old days. Thanks and have a great weekend Tony |
