My dad tells us stories about his Mantle rookies and other cards that were thrown out when he was in The Navy. Would kill to have seen those.
OT: What sports cards / memorabilia are you collecting?

I have a large collection of 50'-70's stars and rookie cards. Also excellent 1887 Allen & Ginter Anson and Kelly.
2 Daughters not interested, so I would to sell to a collector. Dealers want steal them for 10% of value. I rather hold on to them than give them away. If interested let me know.

My grandmother was one of the few mom's that didn't throw out his baseball cards when he went off to college. She gave them to him maybe 30 years ago when she found them. No Mantle rookies, although my dad is convinced he had one back in the day. His Two Best I think are:
1949 Bowman Jackie Robinson Rookie Card
1948 Bowman Stan Musial Rookie Card
He has countless Mantles, Maris, Mays, Berra, Koufax cards. unfortunately when he was a kid he wrote his initials on the back of cards which diminishes their value. All in I'd say his collection is worth somewhere between 10k-20k, but none of them have been graded.

My friend sells really neat plaques and photos containing cool legacy cards of some NFL and MLB teams and players. They're actually really nice. He just recently had to create a website since his store-front was shut down do to COVID, and he can't travel to fairs and expos to sell. Tough situation for him, but it's about time he created a website lol. No UConn stuff yet unfortunately, but there's some pretty interesting memorabilia on there. Feel free to check it out. www.sportsmagnetsunlimited.com

My dad said he probably had at least 3 of the entire Mantle rookie set with 6 Mantles. He always remembers he was one short of having 7 of number 7.
Still, if the moms hadn't thrown them away. The ones that are left wouldn't be nearly as valuable today.
The steroids era killed me. I had rare cards of McGwire, Bonds, Clemens, A-Rod... etc.
My favorite card is a Mickey Mantle/Ted Williams duo card that my best friend gave me for graduation. It's in near mint condition. His father gave him his cards. It's not a big collection, and if his father had started 5 years earlier, it would really be something, but he has some nice Willie Mays cards in there.

This is still a thing? I have a ton of baseball and some hockey cards from the 70's-90's. I have a few older cards that are defaced in some way, including guys like Sandy Koufax.
Man, I would love to turn those into Scotch or Bourbon. But the stores I used to see specializing in this stuff are all gone.

When you say 70s, how early? Condition is everything now with cards.

Probably around 74 on. Maybe earlier. Haven't looked often. Some are in very good shape, others less so. No idea how to value them or get rid of them.

Ha, that’s the same thing we’ve told my dad, that they’re so valuable because everyone threw theirs out. They’d be worth a fraction of their current worth if everyone kept theirs. Also, sales were so low that Topps dumped pallets of 1952 cards into the ocean! Some fish must have had an insane collection.

Nothing actively, but I obsessively collected baseball cards in the mid to late 80s

I’d have some interest in earlier 70s stuff, provided they’re in good shape.

Used to collect comics as a kid. My entire collection was destroyed in a flood because of a neighbors stupidity. Among my prized collection was a #1 issue Green Lantern. Gone.

Kemba rookie cards (PSA 10) were going for $200 - $300 in June. Now his rookie card has been selling for $500 in the past month.
Crazy thing is, this trend in pricing appears to be the norm not the exception. The sports card market have almost doubled overnight, and these are for modern cards too, not Mantle rookies. Crazy!
Edit: The day after the OP his rookie card PSA 10 sold for $168 on eBay. Yesterday the same card sold for ~$500.

I probably had thousands of dollars worth of cards from the early to mid 60's that are now still in some matter of gas in space. My mother was punishing my brother for firing BBs through 3 windows in the house by burning up the cards in 1967 and mistook my collection for his crappy ones. As I walked up the driveway from 7th grade I saw her standing over the metal trash can with smoke coming out of it and a poop eating grin on her face. I was laughing when she told me what she was doing but that turned to tears when I saw my boxes gone out of the closet and my brothers still there. I love you Mom but for crying out loud...………..

I grew up in the same house where my mom has lived in since 1961. Her brother was a baseball card collector and apparently his collection is still in the attic. However, my mom is a hoarder and about 80% of her attic hasn't been touched in 40+ years. Every so often, she tells me that his cards are still up there, so curious what type of gold mine could be up there, especially since those cards haven't been touched in fifty years.

Not that dusty my friend. 2014 isn’t that long ago and 4 in 15 years and 5 in that span is rather impressive. You guys have a shot we will see if Jay can get a run like that closed.
