Questions about baseball cards
I have cards from the late 1980s-early 90s. I have been looking through opened wax packs. I got into a pack of 1990 Donruss, and was surprised at some of the values. As I read, I learned that the 1990 Donruss cards had a lot of errors. One of the main errors mentioned in card values is no "." after INC. Most of the cards in the 10 wax packs I have lack the dot.
i've just been doing a rough idea of value. The unopened wax packs from another year sold well in my booth, and I thought I'd go ahead and sell the opened packs. I didn't want to give away the farm, so I'm just doing a quick check in case any of the cards are more valuable. There are so many that are listed as error cards, I decided to put the 1990 Donruss aside until I know more about their value.
If anyone here collects baseball cards, do you think the missing dot really a big deal? After seeing so many error cards listed for sale, and other examples of the same card going for normal prices, I don't know what to think.
All of the cards are in great condition. Probably the person we bought them from opened the packs and looked through, and left the cards they didn't want in the wax packs. And then put them in shoeboxes. I am carefully handling them, and then putting them back in the wrap.
If anyone knows about baseball cards, I'd love to hear from you! 
Happy Wednesday.

But if I happen to have a card that'll pay for part of my grand kids' college, I want to be sure to get as much as I can My husband started buying cards at that time, because they were a little more popular. Then the card value dropped again, and he lost interest. As I sort, it's fun to see some of the familar players in their heyday, but other than that, just something to try to sell.
You won't hear a ' Mom tossed my cards' story from me. The ones I'm selling are helping pay the rent on the booth. Someone else can enjoy them
There are albums of cards my husband bought that are full of rookie cards. I saw 3 Frank Thomas cards, and about fell out of my chair when I saw the asking price! I saw one card of Michael Jordan at bat. He played a game for charity, and the photo was made to sell to raise money. That card has sold on eBay for $1500. Wow! My husband would be thrilled that his hunch paid off.
As exciting as it is to find cards like that in the ones I have, I have no idea how to sell them and get that much One of these days, I'll find out.
I thought that if the lack of a dot was an error, I hit the mother lode. lol Seems like so many of these cards have that error, it reduces the importance of that error. I want to look for list of the errors in the 1990 Donruss cards to see if I have cards with other errors. I think the person who had these was looking for either specific players, or rookie cards and missed the lack of a dot.
I think they'll grade high, if I do that. Maybe I can trade a card or 2 for the evaluations
I appreciate your comments.
