Do Basketball Cards Sell For Anything? Early 90s

[Amaso]

It might be a stupid question but are they worth anything? I have 1000s(to give you an idea I have 64 MJ cards rofl) of old cards from the early/mid 90s. Most are the common type (upper deck/topps) but there's some more unique ones.

You should either donate them to a children's hospital, recycle them, or try and sell them at a yard sale for $5 bucks. They are worthless. Early to mid 90's cards were so overproduced that they aren't worth anything. Even the big name players aren't worth anything. You might get a couple bucks for them at a yard sale.

I have an 86-87 Fleer factory set with all but 3 cards (out of 132) autographed. One of them was Clark Kellogg, who I could never get because he suffered a career-ending injury before coming to SA that year. Norm Nixon was another I couldn't get because of his injury problems. The last was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who was a and would never sign in real life. Stupidly, I sent the card to the Lakers and asked them to have him sign it, and ended with an obvious fake.

Actually, I should make that 4 cards not autographed, as one is a checklist, lol.

Keep them

I've got all kinds of cards... Timmy, Kobe, Carter, Grant Hill, Shaq, tons more, all rookies.....but the most valuable cards were produced in earlier times.

Keep them

Thanks, yeah I'll probably do that... hopefully decades from now I can either give them to my kid or resell them if they become more valuable. Checked ebay and people were selling lots of like 50+ MJ cards for $30, so I don't think it's worth it. I was just curious because I just sold alot of my Magic the Gathering cards for $2000 today.

Early 90s cards were overproduced. Commons are worth but you may have some decent rookie cards. Shaq is probably the best rookie from the early 90s and even most of his rookies have a book value of less than $15. Ebay sell value for those? Probably $1 or $2. You may be able to get grading on some rookies and sell them to people at card shows for a decent price. The card hobby now is mostly about autograph & memorabilia cards.
