Ken Griffey Jr. rookie cards

[TB1999]

At one point in my life, I thought it would be a good idea to stock up on Ken Griffey Jr. rookie cards. Most of them are the '89 upper deck #1, but I have others as well. Some are rated (psa 9) some are not. They are up in value right now since his recent HOF induction.

Here's the question..if I sell now I can get roughly half of what I paid for them. In the current sport card market, is this the best I can get? Should I keep them for another 20 years or is now the time to sell?

Put them between your bike spokes, that's what I did with all of my Willie Mays rookie cards.

Hold on to them. Sports cards are waning. In 20 years they'll be worth quite a bit.

That's what I said 20 years ago....now I'm happy to get half my money back.

I wonder what sports cards will be worth, I have the complete reds team with Pete rose and the Oakland a's with Henderson Mcguire and Conseco. Among several other big name players everything mint condition .

Rose's cards will go through the roof when he dies. Henderson... meh. Im undecided on McGuire and Conseco, only because they represent the roid era, and may gain a lot of traction in later years, especially Conseco's 40/40 year.
