FOUND: 90s Insert Collection - Need Adivce - More Listed

So I have attempted to find some of these on ebay but, a lot of them have no recent completed sales.

Here's the story.... I recently moved out of my parents house, in the last year. Decided to finally start going through my old cards. I probably have about 10,000 from the 80s and 90 that are total garbage but, I can not just throw them away. Anyway, I found one box of toploaded cards. Inside I found a good amount of rare or rarer 90s inserts.

I really am going to need a 90s collector to give me some advice. For now, I plan on holding on to everything but, I will eventually make them available after I gather all the needed research. I am very very very aware I do not have a gold mine but, just would love to know values of the rare ones.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

The Tim Naehring is a Rave.

Thank you kind sir. So, you think I could squeeze 3-4 bucks out of it to a set collector? Or is it a sit at .99 cent item that will never sell?

Any thoughts on the other cards?

I sold a no namer for a few bucks last year. You never know though. The Thomas is a very nice card though. Could go for a surprising amount. There are many Thomas collectors on here.

You could try going out to COMC and searching on the set. In all likelihood they will have something from the set and they may have your player. This should give you an idea on book and what people are selling the card for. If you can't find it on COMC and it's not a common, you probably have something good.

For instance, I went and looked up the 1998 Topps New Breed Jeter and it looks like it is actually 1999. Cards books for $20 and there are two copies on the site with low price at $10.

You might want to scan the first card listed (Maddux) and post a pic in the 90s thread.

Sounds like the Maddux is a 98 UD Collectors Choice Starquest series 1. not very high value.

One thing:

Use the Beckett to find info on the cards but not on the Pricing. REALLY good ones will go for way OVER Beckett value...

I'd say that and the Thomas Pizzazz.

One would think that Maddux would bring some decent coin because, and correct me if I am wrong George, I believe that those Quad Star (Which I never had a chance to see one, I only saw one triple star when I was younger) are extremely tough to come by and Maddux is a big name to have in that set, imo.
