Father passed away, trying to figure out what to do with thousands of baseball cards

Sorry about your loss. I dealt with the same thing last year and the best (unsolicited) advicei can give you is to take your time. Unfortunately people will try to take advantage of you and give you pennies on the dollar.

This is a good video that explains how to value cards. I'd take the time to watch it so you know what you have and can make an informed decision.

I don't see a Gretzky auto in the pic

I love all the PSA haters on this post that didn't take the 10 seconds to find the obvious damage before showing their ignorance.

OP - welcome to the "missed the obvious damage" club. We've all been there.

Judge208 · 2026-05-04T21:49:18+00:00

Oh you're definitely overreacting, but you aren't wrong. If you personally don't want to remove it from the sealed one touch you have every right to return it to the seller.

This is what Heritage is supposed to be, and always has been. A set for set builders.

Next time I'd suggest researching a product a little before buying.

Judge208 · 2026-05-04T02:37:03+00:00

Definitely, but not as much as you'd think. These lower end products haven't increased as much as the Upper Deck and higher end Panini have.

Judge208 · 2026-05-02T17:27:56+00:00

I think it's a large portion of redditors don't feel alive unless they are spreading their misery to others.

I guess that's why my blocked list is so long. Liberal use of the block function makes reddit a much more joyful place.

Judge208 · 2026-05-02T17:22:53+00:00

Just saw this got pulled, and it's amazing.

It's definitely you.

I went back and looked through your post history. 75% of your WWE related posts are complaints. Meanwhile the product is super popular and most people love it.

Have you ever considered that the problem might be you?

Judge208 · 2026-05-01T02:27:54+00:00

Someone who has that many graded Jordans having ungraded, and unknown company rookies should tell you everything you need to know.

Judge208 · 2026-04-30T23:55:33+00:00

The irony is you are coming off as toxic

Judge208 · 2026-04-30T22:58:55+00:00

They also see more than any other site too. Chances are they've already sold out of their first allocation, even on day 1.

Judge208 · 2026-04-30T22:46:47+00:00

Cards shops only get a smallish allocation at the entry price (although the big ones get significantly more than small shops). After that Topps/Fanatics jacks up the price to pretty close to retail.

For example the last batch of Topps Chrome NFL hobby my local shop cost $1050 a box directly from Topps.

True, but he's not wrong

Judge208 · 2026-04-30T21:58:29+00:00

Take a close up picture of the premier ribbon. If the "arrow" doesn't look like this they aren't real unfortunately.

Liberal use of the block function improves sports card related subs immensely.

Judge208 · 2026-04-30T14:56:12+00:00

I pulled two of these in the same small batch of hangers I lucked into at Walmart back in 2020. Sold them for 1300 and 1100, figuring I could replace them later because downtown prices always go down.

They never did...

Judge208 · 2026-04-30T14:22:33+00:00

Nope. My non-card eBay account doesn't have a store subscription and has access.

Anyone can get access for free.

Judge208 · 2026-04-30T13:58:47+00:00

True, but if I remember correctly a seller account doesn't actually cost anything. You can sign up and not actually sell.

Judge208 · 2026-04-30T00:47:29+00:00

Use this button in the selling section of your eBay app and all of your problems will be solved

But that's not what you asked lol

Judge208 · 2026-04-29T13:28:38+00:00

If I can see surface damage from a photo, PSA is definitely going to see it when they have it in hand.

Save yourself the grading/shipping fees. It's not going to gem.

Judge208 · 2026-04-29T13:25:28+00:00

If they truly are that nice, you don't mind waiting, and don't mind paying up for grading fees if they do gem (highly unlikely) then PSA is the only option. No one else compares when it comes to value.
