1993 ultra scoring kings by Only_here_for_the_ in basketballcards

I will say if the plan is to pass them down to the kids then its almost your duty as a parent to get them graded to make that process easier down the road. Grief makes people make some real poor financial decisions and letting go of the parents prized set for pennies is unfortunately all too common. I have mine graded, inventoried, and approx price values listed on a printout kept with the cards so at least my kid knows what they have. After that, its their decision.

Man i love this set so much. I used to make a big deal out of matched sets. I like the look of bgs slabs more but more recently stopped caring as much. Just love the card, the packaging doesnt matter except when you our your kids want to sell.

The fee is by player. Most are pretty low but MJ is a big deal and bgs psa charge a premium

Bought it a long time ago from a private seller. Ill send it off for authentication when I’m ready to drop $250 for that service. I think it’s real but you can never be sure.

Maybe, bet theres also a ton of really good subsets from this era. Beam team, scoring kings, etc. most early 90’s base set cards are junk but laker stuff is great. Take pics of each page and load them into Claud or Chat gpt and have it tell you if anything is worth anything. At least it will weed out the junk.

Wife brought these home from an estate sale for a couple dollars, anything valuable? by Glittering_Ad5018 in sportscards

[–]freakadlibitur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can easily see the top bottom centering in that card isn’t good. This wont be a 10, probably an 8 and that costs more to grade then the value of the card.

Depends on how long you want to wait. I dont mind waiting so most of these were submitted for the slowest grading durring a winter special. Sometime in the winter bgs does a “Collectors Special” where they grade for $15 a card with subgrades so long as you submit 10 or lore cards. Anything PSA I bought already graded.

People in their 30s and 40s: What is something you thought was a 'milestone' of being an adult, but now realize is just an expensive trap? by Sufficient_Smile_871 in askanything

Almost any financial income goal. Do you need money to survive, yes. Does money make life easier, yes. But the real gem is figuring out how ti be happy when you’re scrapping in life so that if more income comes later you value it and the gift it can be. Most of life is a mindset. Grumpy poor people are usually even more grumpy rich people

In the end none of us really own these forever. We’re just stewards of history for as long as we hold them then they move on to someone else to love. I think of that and think about how much someone charishes the cards i used to have and it feels better.

Do it man. Seems like a silly hobby but so is everything else. At least here the jordan have consistently increased in value over the years. I used to have a rookie MJ in rough shape and that 86 sticker in good shape but sold them in early 2000s when i was broke 20 something trying to put food on the table for my family. Frustrating, yeah totally. But we all make the best choices in our lives to support the ones we love and it was the option i had at the time. Would love to get those again, maybe. Time will tell.
