Football Card Collection

[GIFTS86]

So I always loved collecting football cards. I only collect cowboys cards. Anything I pull non-cowboy goes to trade. I had a huge demarcuse ware P.C. but everything I had was stolen 2 years ago. So I'm just starting to get back into it. I would love to see some of your collection's if you would like to share.

I think I have a box of full league from some time in the 90's.
Well some Cowboy cards may be gone.

Is that worth anything?

Back in the day, around mid 90's, I had about 500,000 cards. I stopped seriously collecting after the industry meltdown around 1990. I bought some big lots and "bargains" on eBay but quickly figured out the value wasn't coming back and decided to dump it all right before I got married. Managing a collection of that size was far more time consuming (and space consuming) than I wanted to dedicate to it.....and I needed the money. I sold everything. I mean everything - cards, boxes, collectables, supplies. Almost 20 years later I am glad I did.

I still have mine from the 90s I think I have almost all the Emmitt Smith rookie cards.

I have probably 40+ emmitt smith ones. A bunch of awesome tony romo ones that I love...several signed, numbered with jersey inserts too

Man, 90s cards really took a shot in terms of pricing. Unless you have some first edition chrome cards or you have them signed, you might as well keep them as collections or throw them out.

I have a pricey John Elway card I have put up in case a rainy day happens in my life in terms of money.

Yeah, got into it back in 89, mostly baseball. I remember the insert card craze, holy crap that was insane for a while. We were hardcore into it for about 3 years, driving to houston for card shows, going to auctions. Probably 90% of my cards could be used as a firestarter.ha
