Hey, I need help & Im hoping one of my fellow Blazers fans can help.

Im trying to sell these 3 basketball cards ive had for awhile.
I use to collect cards long, long time ago. I want to sell these
3 as a package & was wondering if anyone knows any good
Sport Cards Stores that would probably buy these cards.. .
I thought I'd ask here first before I try & track a place down.

*Michael Jordan 1987 Fleer #59 of 132
*Shaquille O'Neal Magic's All-Rookie Team NBA HOOPS/SkyBox #1 of 10
*Clyde Drexler Star 84 #100 1983-84

Thanks!!

I don't really know much about sports cards, but you'd be able to get a much better price by selling directly to collectors rather than to a shop. The first place I'd look to sell anything like that is ebay. Watch auctions of those cards and see how much they end up selling for. Do a bit of research and you should be able to get a good price for them.

Thanks for the tips S-Revenge!!

The Drexler rookie card is funny, he has lots of hair!!


Sorry, had to add that, lol.. .

What kind of condition are the cards in?

There is a card shop in Tualatin that I really like called Heaven Sent Sports Cards. The guy there is real cool and would probably help you out with values and stuff like that. It is on the east side of the freeway by the mcdonalds in a little strip mall.

I'm not a collector but I have a full set of the Star 84-85 year. It includes 3 Michael Jordan rookie cards. And, the Clyde Drexler card has Kenny Carr's face on it. The only reason I have it is in the mid 80

Worst day of my life was when I realized I had lost my Lew Alcindor rookie card.. That card was worth $1500

Keep good care of those worth something.. Its tough to find actual collectors but those are the people to go through.. Card stores wont give you nearly what its worth. But I would at least go talk to the guy that Charlie mentioned. He might be able to give you an idea on worth and maybe even an idea on where to sell them for top dollar

If the cards are in pretty good condition, you should consider getting them graded. If you get a good score, they will sell for way more than they would if they weren't graded. Most cards aren't worth very much, even rookie cards, unless you get them graded.

Also, like other people have said, don't sell them to any shops, but have a talk with one. I used to give my cards to a shop that I went to a lot and had the cards graded and sold on ebay for me, for a small percentage.

My cards are in very good shape.

How do I get them offically graded??

Thanks for all the help everybody.. .

a buddy of mine sent his cards to some big collector to have them appraised / graded. Something like this place

You can always take your cards to a few comic book / sports memorabilia stores around your area just get a LOW estimate on value. If you do end up selling your cards to a store shop around and don't take their initial offer, you can try to up them. Good luck dude... tax returns are coming soon your gonna be set haha.

I've got the old album from the Blazers championship season. Anybody seen one of those in a while? I was always curious what it was worth. So long as the Blazers continue to lose, I would think it would continue to climb in value.

Definately get them graded before you sell them, especially the Jordan. Either by PSA or BGS.

After that just put them on ebay, you can check completed listings for what they sell for.

Or of course, you could just give them to me.

Thanks for all the help everybody!!

Baseball Cards and More!

I used to go there all the time after school (I went to grade school at nearby St. Therese). Cool store.

I don't remember the exact name. It was over 20 years ago. I do remember "Baseball" was in the stores name so that was probably it.

Was there a guy named Randy running it?

I don't know his name. I only went to the store twice, once to order and again to pickup. He was a young guy (20+ years ago) and I would assume he owned the store.

If your wanting max value for these cards you need to send them to a grading company. PSA is a company you can use or another. PSA is one that I trust myself and have used for many years now. Now, you only want to pay for them to grade your card, if you truly believe it's a high number, so it goes up to 10, and you should be able to easily move these cards for a good value when they are graded.

Contrary to what HMFFL said, especially with the jordan, you want to be grading that whether it is in good condition or not. There are a lot of Jordan RC fakes around, and people will be reluctant to pay full value for the Jordan (which is by far the most valuable card of the three) without knowing it's legit, and the only way to do that is to get it graded by PSA or BGS.
