Would you consider 1989-90 OPC junk wax?

You must be an old school collector - most people who are under 35 don’t use the term ‘brick’ to mean 100 copies of the same card.

It is nice to see another collector like me. :-)

Well. I'm almost 40 and actually just got back into the hobby back in 2016 (I stopped collecting around 1996-97).....But back when I was 13-14 I was well known on the card show circuit, and pretty much considered a "dealer" it wasn't uncommon for a card shop to call me and ask if I had specific cards, nor was it uncommon to get calls from collectors via card shop owners looking for certain cards..... So yea, you could say I'm "old school"..... I mean I built a legitimate card business by the time I was 14-years old and it all started with a pack of 1989-90 Topps and a little allowance money and flipping cards - generally "newer cards (at the time" for vintage cards.... Tho I did do more baseball than hockey back then but even back then hockey was my true passion - baseball was just $$$$$ to me...

This.


I believe there's a half decent market for PSA 10s, or BGS 9.5s (or better). Likely signed & authenticated (slabbed) too.

Sad truth is.... if you offer up those Sakics for $3 dlvd (i.e. you're not losing money, sending to someone) I can't imagine there will be many people lining up to buy them.


I've got a full set of 89-90 OPC. If anyone wants it: I'll sell for $10, plus the cost of shipping. I believe it's in a binder right now. If you'd like it in a binder + sleeves, I need an extra $10 (which is less than the binder & sleeves would cost you), and shipping would probably be higher. Otherise, I'll take it out of the sleeves, and box it, to ship.


I bet I get no takers :)

You could probably trade it for a barrel of oil. LOL

You want to make that swap? I'll take a barrel of Oil for it!

For $10 I would 100% pick up an 89-90 OPC set.... I would shudder to think what the shipping would cost ($30 + maybe?).

We need to meet at a card show some day.

I hate to revive an old thread, but i went on the baseball card exchanges website

A pack of 1988-89 OPC = $14
A box of 1989-90 OPC = $45 (48 packs)

I guess 89-90 is junk

Just saw that a box of 87-88 goes for $650

Don't know why you would pay that much for a year that late with really no superstar players.

I think 87-88 OPC is full of decent rookies, nothing crazy but if half of those rookies or star cards come out of a box Mint as PSA 9s or 10s there's lots of value there.
