Now this can be fun.

Michael Jordan and some other basket ball players have a huge following of collectors, who are willing to pay top dollar, if you have something special or rare. Plain jordan cards, look up the value in a beckett magazine.

Basketball, football and hockey cards have kept their value better then baseball.
The demand is also bigger for football, hockey and basketball.

Typical players you should look out for is.

Basketball:
Michael Jordan
Scottie Pippen
Larry Bird
Magic Johnson

These 4 have a good price and demand.

Hockey:
Gretzky
Super mario
Yzerman
Hall
Messier
Crosby

Football:
Dan Marino
Brett Favre
Joe Montana
Jerry Rice
Emmet smith
Steve young
Troy Aikman
And of course all the big players before 1970.

Hang on to your cards, everything in life goes up and down.
So with the baseball cards and their value.

You never know, maybe 2 years from now or 5 years from now, there is one or several cards that for some reason every collector just wants. Then you have it and you can make money on it.

I have seen it happend.

Welcome to the forum.

I have heard that Dallas has good lockers, alot of Memphis people go there.
My plans is to go there either in march or april and attend the auctions.

Last week i heard they sold a complete bar from a resturant in Dallas for 375 dollars, so thats pretty cool.

When you say vintage, how far back do you mean.
Pre 1980 ??

I have only seen 2 newbies that have stayed for longer then 2 weeks. Most newbies here in Memphis shows up once or twice, then you don't see them again. But there is always a new face in the crowd.

Since desember i have only seen 2 newbies who are still showing up, and bidding on regular basis.

The rest of the pack comes and look, they bid and act like total dumbasses, then they are gone, just like the wind.

They come, they bid, they lose, and they are gone.  And waht do that tell you, well either they lost their shirt on a deal, or they are lazy people who will not work. People like that will never make it, regardless of what they are trying to do.

Big mouth, huge show off needs, and then the air goes out of them like a balloon.

Ok, so they are between WWI and WWII.

I would contact someone who works or deals with millitary stuff, someone who are expert in that field.
People who are dealing with WWI and WWII stuf might be interested in this. They might also know the value.

From the top of my head, i would say a retail price between 5 and 20 buck per magazine.
Some maybe more worth then others.
