@richieoldhockeyguy.bsky.social It’s the Mets TV crews go to during a blowout. They break out unopened packs of old baseball cards.

That's awesome, but aren't they ruining the value of them?

How do know the value if you don’t know what’s in the pack? They do it like 10 year olds “oh look who i got “

That's funny. I found my old baseball cards in a box my late mom packed decades ago. I had drawn a top hat, beard and corncob pipe on a Mickey Mantle card that is now over 60 years old. WTF was I thinking back then.

😩

Aren't they usually brand new packs? Those aren't worth a lot, are they?

I’m not swearing to anything your honor. 😝 Pretty sure they’ve never had anything of real value. It’s just fun reminiscing.

Serious question, have you ever got old baseball card appraised?

Have you?

Not yet. I have baseball and hockey cards over 60 years old but I don't know who to trust to give a fair appraisal.

No. I do have sone unopened sets from the 80’s when my son was born. Of course the ones I had as a kid wound up in the spikes of my bike. 🤦‍♂️

I was born in ‘62 the same year as the Mets. My son was born in ‘86 their last World Series championship. We’re diehards.

That's wild. I was born in '55 the last year the Red Wings won the Stanley Cup until '97, the year our son was born. But I raised him a Maple Leafs fan.
