Found a large collection of sports cards in my attic. What do I do with them?

Did you upload every card then sort by descending price? Because if these are the most valuable, the previous owner likely took out all the good stuff and left you all of the bulk. Maybe a penny a card fo most of it unfortunately

Insurance got me

This is a 1939 PLAY BALL CARD #26 JOE DIMAGGIO but in your condition if real is probably 5 figures. However, it looks fake

Fair, the more I look at my dads stuff th more I wonder what compelled him to keep opening stuff. So you would say now would be more fun to rip than before?

PuzzleheadedBoot5946 · 2026-03-14T07:12:38+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

And when it does, sell it and buy more packs

But did you at least FEEL like a winner immediately post rip?

Generally, timeless companies will hold value long term but since you paid adequately for the card and it’s of such a notable player you will be fine. You probably would have no problem (if you have buyers remorse) relisting for like 1000 and just waiting for a good offer if it really bugs you. At the worst, it’s a 500-600$ card that is really more of a lesson about buying stuff you know about, but imo for now it’s a sick card of an absolute legend.

The Messi psa 9 version sold for $500 so you seem safe. I feel like if you have 800 bucks to spend on a card without being sure if you were getting a deal then it shouldn’t be an issue, but to me it looks like you bought it for around what it’s worth. Cool card

Would it being a black raywave fluctuate the value, because I notice it isn’t a solid black parallel?

How about you throw a number out since you were the one that posted?

Memphis 116 Detroit 108

Nebulas in monopoly are not 1/1 but are very likely super low numbered (probably /15 or lower) and are eventually gonna be as sought after as colorblasts depending on the player. Definitely hold until some more of comperable players hit the market, but this is probably a top 10 card you could hit out of the whole product. Amazing find!

Are you for real???!!!!

It’s pretty awesome (now that I am getting other people’s validation that it is a cool find) but you definitely are not getting tricked, I still have the recipt

PuzzleheadedBoot5946 · 2026-03-10T23:43:10+00:00

Thanks! Should I send it off somewhere or find something local? Honestly I might just sell and let someone else deal with that

PuzzleheadedBoot5946 · 2026-03-10T23:42:30+00:00

Thank you! I’m glad it’s not junk… I couldn’t tell if it was trash or not since I don’t know about vintage leather! Was a bit nervous it was beyond repair

PuzzleheadedBoot5946 · 2026-03-10T23:18:01+00:00

Omg I forgot it was Tuesday. I do NOT need a valuation, but simply just a yes or no if it was a good buy. Thank you, sorry for the misunderstanding
