Last few weeks, I've been swamped by calls from people looking to sell their cards. Problem is, 99% of the time its junk from the usual time span.
Got a call recently & the seller got on the phone with "i got some crazy old throwback cards....u buying?"
turns out "crazy old" is late 80s.
Another call had me totally stumped last week. My store is in the bronx, yankee country. Woman called with some cards to sell. Again, the junk yrs & earlier 90s.
I told her realistically, the few cards worth anything are jeter cards. She didn't know who he is. Wasn't even sure what team he is on.
Its come to the point that when someone calls asking if I buy baseball cards, first thing I say is yes, but not from the 80s, early 90s.
these cards will never go away, roaches & junk era cards will always be around.
