That pretty much depends on the card - scarcity, condition, etc.
Sorry, couldn't resist. :lol
A LOT of money IMHO
You can buy some of his rookie cards on ebay for under a buck.
If you start going into graded cards, (BGS and PSA) than you are looking at solid coin. I am trying to collect all of his BGS 9.5 rookie cards. There are probably close to 40-60 different rookie cards. If you count base set rookies only than the list is closer to 20ish.
Depends what condition it is and such.
I got a great deal on ebay for Tim's Topps Chrome rookie card graded 9 by BGS.
I was sorely disappointed by how much the worth of cards are these days. I've got every Robinson rookie and a mint Fleer Ultra Shaq rookie (I think it's Fleer - haven't looked at in in forever), but they were worth WAY more back in the day . . .
David Robinson's rookie card, the one where he's holding the jersey, used to be worth $60. Now you can get it for under $5.Quote:

That was about the last time I collected . . .
The Real Robinson Rookie is the Fleer Rookie Sensations card, not the Hoops one.
Ungraded cards have had a hard time competing against a certified graded card. Buyer's don't take on the risk. Seller's Mint condition might not actually be mint.
blackjack - This card?

Not worth much in a regular case.

I found a Danny Ferry rookie card on the street when I was walking home from school one day. Pretty cool?
Not unless it was made of goldQuote:

Yep, I thought they were an investment back then and one day I would bank off the cards, but not the way it turned out by any means :( You ended up losing big long term and can't sell most of them for crap! Steroids single handedly ruined basebal and it's worth as far as cards go. I had sosa, mcgwire and bonds and all of them got some record and nobody will buy their cards.Quote:

Oh, and I wonder how much BALCO devalued my Bonds rookie? :downspin:
I have that in the package, see through. It will always be mint as long as the package isn't opened.Quote:

You open the pack, find the card and couldn't get 10 dollars for it.Quote:
