Depends entirely on a few issues. They need to have been stored in a climate controlled areas like a home closet or shelf (Curl Up Or Stick Together) They should not be exposed to direct sunlight for any inordinate amount of time (Fading) no pets (Odor) Smoking (Worse Odor & Yellowing) and no Rubber Bands. If you want an honest opinion you can shoot me some pics of them and I will take a look. Note on photographing the cards, don't use a flash (creates a blind spot or shine) do a few at a time (Align Them In A Row of 4 or Less & Take Pic then turn them over and take another) Do not touch the face or backs with your fingers (Use a card in a sleeve to lift those without then, like a slip etc, then use you index and thumb to move it or sleeve it) These are the things that help the most. Be VERY CAREFUL inserting them into sleeves that will catch a corner or center of edge and literslly cut or flip it up and it's bent, no way to fix and don't try pressing those with cuts or bows etc, it's easily spotted to serious collectors. DO NOT THROW CARDS AWAY! That's why all those 1950 to 1980 cards are so valuable, kids played with them and parents tossed them when kids left home for work or military etc. Less cards, higher demand! The only cards you will have in the 90'e that might do well will be those stored all this time as I spoke about above. They bend, crease and bow if they aren't stored correctly. I had someone tell me that my 35K cards from the 90's were trash when I got back to collecting after I became disabled. That would have been something that I would have regretted now deeply. The cards that seem flawless or are graded by either PSA or BGS can fetch a lot of money but if your cards aren't then they will depend heavily on the way you present them or picture them when selling. I'm interested in them if you want to shoot me a message or email me at bamaman4life@gmail.com and put pics in PDF if you can, takes less data. Pics should be as mentioned but Stars like Jeter, Ripken, Mcgwire, Bonds, Sosa and the like should be taken by themselves and not just fronts and backs. You want to get a really detailed image of the Card, good lighting with no flash etc and be able to allow those looking to zoomn the pic and see it closely too. If it's folded or creased it isn't really worth anything unless it's older than 1950 or so. I have a lot of experience in that era of cards and some of them are true diamonds if condition is right. Grading costs too much per card to try and get them done and more if they are valued greater. I think $7 each is average for the average card to be graded and your not guaranteed a 8 or higher at all. Let me know and if ya email me as well bcz I don't check it unless it alerts me..... God Bless.....
