Is it me or does it seem like the market for baseball cards, even old ones, has depreciated (gone down in value)? I have a few rookie Dave Winfield. Years ago, I had once checked the value and it was worth $100. Now, EBAY says it is $8-12. Now, I know they are NOT making more of these cards, so is it just that EBAY and internet has increased the supply of these cards to the market. Same with my autographed baseballs of Pete Rose, Steve Carolton, Johnny Bench, Nolan Ryan and many others. I have every Topps cards from 1984 to 1995 as well. I just don't see the "sold my baseball card collection to put kid through college" stories anymore. Or am I totally missing something? I guess part of the autograph stuff is you need certificate of authenticity due to so many scams. I guess for me I handed them the ball to sign so its just memories with no value on the marketplace. But my cards???
