I have an insane collection. Worth thousands spent thousands. Game used MJ/LBJ specialty, 90's insert and Rc galore, plus even more game used and autos of many stars. Took me 20+ years to make it happen. Wouldn't sell my collection for anything. Proud collector.

Nice Jordan cards. I have an extensive collection from all sports, but hardly any of them are graded.

I probably have all the NBA Hoops, Upperdeck and Fleer sets from 89-97. Many others from Ultra to Topps to Stadium Club and so on. I was mad into collecting when I was a kid. I think the youngest card I have is a Paul Pierce rookie card.

I have a collection that's probably worth $5-10k. Started collecting in the early/mid 90s, but stopped around 2000-2001. I have a bunch of complete sets from the 90s and 80s, including the 86-87 Fleer set and a sizeable amount of Star Company cards from 84-85 and 85-86.

I have a huge collection of raw cards of Magic, Kareem, Bird, Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, and most of the 80's and 90's stars. I probably have one of the largest and most complete privately owned collections of Magic Johnson cards in the world.
I have PSA 10 sets on the PSA Registy of...
Magic Johnson master set
Magic Johnson basic set
Larry Bird master set
Larry Bird basic set
Kobe Bryant rookie set
Michael Jordan basic set
Blake Griffin rookie set
Some of my favorite cards are my 1993 Magic/Bird Hoops dual auto, my Magic/Bird rookie, and my 2009 Panini prestige Kobe auto. I have auto cards of most of the Lakers players from the back to back championship teams. Still looking for Gasol.

I stopped collecting around 2005 because I couldn't afford it anymore, due to college tuition.
I don't have anything ridiculously valuable, but it's a decent sized collection. Some notables:
Dwyane Wade 2003-04 Topps Rookie Photo Shoot Autograph (only 56 in existence)
400 Michael Jordan cards
Peyton Manning Upper Deck authenticated autographed football (not basketball or a trading card, but it came from a redemption card from a pack of Upper Deck)
Kobe Bryant rookie cards (Upper Deck, Metal Universe, Topps)
A bunch of autograph cards of players like Bibby, Jamison, Mo Williams, Marion, Gerald Wallace, Rip Hamilton, Maggette, Ariza, Kevin Martin, etc.

I bought one pack of 1981 Topps cards last Sunday. It contained a Magic Johnson card. I also bought some ABA cards. One was of Warren Jabali. He was one of the meanest players of all-time. He scored 39 points in the deciding game of the ABA Finals one year.

Any of you that think they are worth anything are crazy. Cards USED to be worth money until the internet came. I have a rookie signed Jordan, Pippen, etc and they aren't worth more than $20.
5-10k? yah right - you could have every card signed by each player in mint condition and they aren't worth that.
There is maybe 3 cards in existence that fetch high dollar - the Honus Wagner card is worth a lot.

(Like Kevin Garnett) Michael Jordan has never autographed personally.
If you hadn't attended MJ camp or you are not Marcus Jordan (son of MJ) , that is 1,000,000,000 % fake.

I can't tell if you are trying to be an asshole or if you are just ignorant to the trading card marketplace. There are a lot of cards that are pretty worthless right now because they were over produced in the 90's. However, there are a lot of cards that are worth a lot of money both old and new.
Rare Michael Jordan 90's insert cards are going nut's right now. At this point I only collect gem mint graded cards and certified autos. Raw cards don't hold their value very well. People don't like to buy them on the internet because crooks sell ****ed up cards on ebay and describe them as mint condition. A non certifed auto card isn't worth jack because of the millions of fakes out there. I assure you my collection is worth quite a bit.

None of our 90's cards did, i've got about 10 full decks and a half dozen binders of nothing but upperdeck and fleer
They oversaturated the market with so many cards in the 90's that none of them have value except the super rare rookies, but even their value continues to drop :(
Now fakes/replicas are so precise it's made card collecting worthless

They definitely aren't worthless but the value has dropped some. Still money to make if you look hard enough

I've been collecting full time since 1986, when the hobby really took off. Card prices went to levels never before seen in the hobby a little after the pandemic started last year but prices have come back down quite a bit but still a lot higher than prior to the pandemic. Think the market is just settling into an equilibrium.
What is the best card in my collection? A 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan ROOKIE Card graded a PSA 9 MINT. At its peak, in about Feb 2021, the card was going for $75,000. Now they go for about $25,000.
