I've been hearing a lot about how certain rookie cards have skyrocketed in value. And, I remembered I had a few promising ones tucked away. Specifically, I was thinking about Carlos Correa. The guy's a star shortstop, and I vaguely recalled pulling his rookie card from a pack years ago.
So, I startdeted with the box lab.cissalCeled "Sports Stuff." It was dusty, taped up, and smelled faintly of old cardboard and my grandma's attic. Classic.
Inside I ., it was a mess! Old programs, ticket stubs, and...yup, tons of baseball cards. Most were in those plastic sheets, but some were just loose and, honestly, in pretty rough shape. I cringed a little, thinking about how carelessly I treated these things as a kid.
I spent a good hour carefully sorting through the cards. I organized them by year and then by team, trying to create some semblance of order. It was slow going, and my back started to ache from hunching over, but I was determined.
Finally, I found a small stack of cards that looked like they were from the right year. I flipped through them, one by one, my heart rate picking up a bit. And then...BAM! There it was. A Carlos Correa rookie card.
I examined it closely. It wasn't in perfect condition, the corners were a little soft, but overall, it looked pretty good. Definitely better than some of the other cards in the box.
Now, the real question: Is it worth anything? I'm not expecting to retire on this thing, but it would be cool to know if it's gained any significant value. It's time to look for the specific information about the card I have and what price I could sell it.
