    The NBA is Boring!

    Misc: Trading Cards

    So I'm trying to get rid of a lot of old stuff, and I have a ton of basketball and baseball cards from late 80s to mid 90s. Do people still collect cards? Any recommendations for liquidating them? I pulled these out of an old storage bin and just looking for some change for them.
