So much for retiring early.
I¡¯ve got a whole toy chest full of baseball and football cards, mostly from the mid- to late 80s, stashed at my parents¡¯ house. I¡¯ve got complete sets of Donruss, Fleer, Score, Upper Deck and, of course, Topps. Those sets feature Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Greg Maddux and Sammy Sosa rookie cards.
Other highlights of my collection include: A 1989 Score Barry Sanders rookie card that wiki.answers.com says is valued at $40. (No way, I could get $40 for that); a banged-up ¡¯75 Nolan Ryan, and a whole sheet of Mark Grace cards.
I have vaunted rated rookies like Rueben Sierra and Greg Vaughn and future stars like B.J. Surhoff.
At the time, I thought I was sitting on a gold mine. Now, I¡¯m sitting on a big box of crap. Thanks a lot, steroids.
Eventually, I guess I¡¯ll throw it on Ebay and see if I can get a couple hundred bucks for the whole thing. But that seems like more effort than it¡¯s worth. Any suggestions?
