The most valuable card I ever had was a 1960s Mickey Mantle card worth about 375-450 bucks in 1987. I traded it as a kid to a kid at school for a switch blade knife, a Darth Vader toy, and a silk Guns n Roses poster. He traded it for a 4 wheeler. Idk what happened after that. Ithad been my dad's card before that and he was sick to his stomach that I traded it. I was a silly kid.

PSA COLLECTOR I love that you get honest criticism and you take it exactly as meant. And then *** and then *** you say “yup, I shouldn’t (or should) have included them”. It makes your legitimate content even more legitimate. Great stuff.

Is the 93 Topps Derick Jeter Rookie correct? I know that there is an almost identical card that came from a special set and had a stamp on the front of it. Was that what you are referring too, or does the regular card really go for that price with a high grade?

I thought the Upper Deck Michael Jordan card would have made the list. Great video.

I have an entire box of tops cards including all stars and tecord breakers like in 1987. Are they worth much?
