how are baseball cards doing these days?
i ended up w several thousand 60's-90's good cards in my divorce.
i was in a charity thrift store that had the stock of a card shop donated. i knew the hubs would dig it, so i called him and asked how many boxes.
i think i dragged home a dozen, then he went back and picked through.
we ended up w about 25 cases, like the cig carton size box x 4. no idea how many cards that is.
hubs went through them all, and sorted out the good ones. 6-7 cases.
i'd like to get them out of my way. i have asked a few people in the last couple years, but they say the market is shit. is it worse now?
what would you do w them?

Just yesterday he bought boxes at a yard sale dirt cheap, but all the good cards had been pulled. Still there were a few worth having, and the kids and he enjoyed looking through them.

(71,958 posts)i think. maybe 1 of the kids took them. my kids were spread out enough that between the 4 of them they had thousands.
i looked at ebay a bit. i'll keep my ears open.
i had a feeling this mess was gonna cause some waves.
