Default My baseball card IRA

I have about 10,000 football,baseball, and basketball cards sitting at my parents house. I compiled them while I was young, basically before I could drive. I have over 200 Michael jordan cards alone. Ranging from $2-$200 each.

I was unfortunately more interested in gathering players I liked to watch than the hot commodities. Rather than the Kobe Bryants and Shaquille O'neal cards, i gathered the entertaining Dennis Rodman and Anfernee Hardaway. Yes, my loyalty could have cost me thousands, but I have them now. I haven't looked at a single card in the better part of a decade. I'm curious to see what is left. I know there are several baseball cards and football cards too. The Ken Griffeys and the Barry Bonds cards. I would like to see what it's worth these days. I would be happy to get $10,000 or to save them for the future. I unfortunately don't think they will grow 10%/year. maybe i should track them down and sell them to fund something better.

Did anybody else save their cards?

I have a shoe box full of cards, mostly from 94-95.

looking at ebay, they don't seem to be pulling in much of anything...

eBay – vintage baseball card, psa graded card and graded baseball card items on eBay.com. Find IT on eBay.

yeah, ebay is hard to sell on. the key is to get to card shows and set up a booth. maybe one day i'll have enough to set up a table.
