It's a pack of 1992 Topps baseball cards, only 15 of them. Should I open them to see if there's anything valuable inside, or is it basically worthless?

Basically, its worthless. By the time, 1992 had rolled around, everyone was hoarding boxes and cases of cards thinking they'd be worth a fortune some day. Instead, if you have a box that you bought back then, you might be lucky to get half of what you paid for it, so you can imagine what one pack would be worth. Go ahead, open it - maybe you got somebody good - or even one of your favorite player. By the time the pack is worth anything - if ever - your grandchildren will be ready for Social Security.

If you're talking about the 1992 base set, there isn't anything in there that is worth more than a buck. There is a rare chance that there might be a Topps Gold card randomly inserted into the pack. But the only one worth anything is the Manny card. And the odds of pulling that are very, very slim. So in other words, it's probably worthless. Open them.

As a baseball card collector the 92 topps set is pretty crappy when it comes to rookies as compared with years past. I would say save them another 16 years and see. Don't open them as the value is greater for an un-opened pack then if you open and find a bunch of has beens or nobody's. Hope this helps!

Look at a Beckett magazine, and see how valuable cards in the '92 Topps baseball set are worth. If there's some really good stuff, high-dollar cards in the set, sell the pack on e-bay. Most likely, it's nothing special, and you should just open it.

Open the pack carefully and go through the cards to see if you have anything valuable. Check in the Beckett magazine to double check your self if you are not sure whether any of those cards are worth something. If you don't have anything worth keeping, put the cards back in the wrapper and seal it up with glue. Then put it up on Ebay as an unopened pack. They'll never know the difference!

Someday, 50 years from now, they may become worth something. Even now, nothing much was in the 92 Topps cards since they overprinted them so much. I'd stash them in a back shelf someplace and see if time will make them worth something later. To be honest though, anything after the mid 80s was printed in such numbers, and people took care of them too, so not much is worth the cardboard they used to print them on.

Get a Beckett catalog or go online. Open the cards and check for them for their collectable value. Try not to damage them. If you find some that are rare, place them in plastic sleeves and keep them out of intense heat and light until you are ready to sell them. Three baseball cards fed my kid for a week back in 1993.

Wait until you have a son and let him open them. My son is 2 yrs old and each year of his birthday we buy him a box and when he gets to the age where he will keep them from getting messed up, we will let him start his own baseball collection. I looked up some of my husband's old cards from the early 90's and they aren't worth very much right now.

open them. With 92' baseball cards your not going to get anything really valuable. Just throw them out if you dont see a good player.

They are Topps, they wont be worth anything because they saturated market with every set back then.
