My dad owns a MJ 86 rookie card. It’s supposed to be mine since I’m the only basketball fan but now the family wants to sell it and share the profit. it’s not graded but it went straight to a case from the box
All collectibles are going crazy. Pokemon cards are nuts also. I spent my youth collecting a lot of sports cards and I have most of my collection at PSA right now getting graded. Ill share the results of the good ones as they come in but PSA takes forever right now due to their backlog and recent popularity in the hobby. I did get my first two cards back last week and it was very unsatisfying though, I have a Terry Porter and a Jerome Kersey autographed 1989 hoops card. I know they are authentic because I got them myself at a basketball camp I went to when I was a kid. PSA couldnt authenticate either though and charged me $100 just to ship them back with a big question mark. Other than that I have a lot of pre 1990 basketball cards, I kept them all in perfect condition but Im finding out that centering of the picture is the hard part. When I was a kid I mostly looked for perfect condition, now to get a Gem Mint 10 the centering for old cards is the hard part.
the hard part so far was making an honest assessment of their value to price out the correct insurance for shipping and grading costs. Most people over value their collection and its easy to do. I bought a $10 centering tool on amazon that helped with that. I spent hours on that though because if you assume its a grade 10 and it comes in at a 8 or 9 then you could end up paying as much to grade it as its worth, but you dont want to undervalue it because you want it properly insured though out the process.
ebay. I bought a bOx of 89 upper deck and 90 leaf last year. I see they aRe now almost double what i paid.
