Hey gang, from the late 1980s to 1997 or so, I used to collect sports cards. Football and basketball. I haven't done anything with them since then, but we're cleaning out our library and I'd like to get rid of some of them to clear out some room. I've spent the last day or so going through them, setting stuff aside that I want to keep and putting the rest in organized piles. I don't have a price guide, so who knows, you might find a couple keepers in here.

I was thinking that if anyone had a kid that was into sports cards or something, it'd be a cool thing for them. I want these to go to a good home, and not end up in bicycle spokes. :crazy: At any rate, I'm not 100% done going through them, but in the end, there will probably be several thousand cards. All I ask is that the taker of these a) pay for shipping and b) take good care of them. :) So....any takers?
 
I thought it was a pretty good idea too...but I dunno how many peeps have kids who are into sports cards these days. :thinking: Anyway, hopefully someone will be interested. I still have a few more boxes to go through...but it's gonna be a lot of cards. I have a 5000 count box I'm just about done sifting through and most of 'em are gonna go. I'd guess about 10k cards total, at this point. :shocked:
 
Does it have to be a kid :whistle:, I have a collection that I have had since I was a kid.

never thought to ask any of my older kids if they would be interested in them, my boy is only four so he has a bit of time yet.
 
yeah...why a kid. I was in my collecting prime from the mid to late 80's and early 90's but will still go buy a box on occasion. I'd take them in a hearbeat!:woot:
 
There is no age limit, I just thought a kid might appreciate them the most. Julio is getting 10k cards shipped to him tomorrow, but I still have prolly 15k left to give away. Remember, the "buyer" has to pay for shipping costs. Sooooo, if you want some, just drop me a pm. :thumb:
 
well, at least one person has flaked.....anyone else interested in some free sports cards? All ya gotta do is pay shipping! :thumb: I'd really like to get these things outta my computer room....
 
Make it sweeter to the interested party: ship them in a flat rate box via USPS. This way they know how much they're paying and you can figure how many will fit in the large FR box.
 
One of my best freinds in college had been collecting for years and years. He had complete sets from like 1979 to 1993 in a couple huge footlockers. Most of them unopened.

He put the whole thing up on ebay (without saying exactly what cards were in there) and got 17k out of it.

It blew his mind but I guess he had some pretty rare cards in there and the guy that bought it was an expert and knew exactly what cards he would have
 
I still have probably 2 big flat rate boxes worth of cards. Anyone interested in some? :)
 
bump...still have one big box and enough to fill a large flat rate box too....
 
any more... if so id be interested.. i got a 4yr old and 11... i have some cards and ALOT of comics im saving for them...
 
LAST CALL! These cards are going to be tossed soon. Anyone want a large-flat-rate box full? You pay shipping and they are yours...but PM me before the week is out or they'll be gone! :thumb:
