    I found a Babe Ruth card hidden in my grandfather's storage.

    it's from 1927... and it has his picture on the front and a news article on the back about him hitting 60 homeruns... does anyone have an idea how much it is worth? I also got a bunch of other baseball cards that look old as shit... my grandfather collected a shotload of cards from the 20's 30's and 40's.

      Try beckett.com They are the best with card values. Also check eBay to see what the cards are currently selling for. Good find.

        Bad news... I turned out to be a 1954 Topps card.

        It's still worth $299.00 according to the price guide.

        I have a bunch of other cards to check out...

          Damn, chooch! Bad news indeed. I was hoping it would be worth at
          least enough so you could fix your fat, busted, Bubba Gump lip with
          plastic surgury.

                Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

                  You are a shrip. A mental and physical shrimp. Keep fucking with me with your aliases, pussy. Keep it up calling me a pedo while you jack it to the disney channel.

                  I can find you mother fucker. I guarentee it. I have the money. I have the means. Try me.

                  You're busted, dude. Be a man. Apologize.

                        This is excellent advice WARF.

                        Also, and it may sound lame, but be sure to handle those cards by the edges only and get them in to some hard plastic snap tight or screw down card holders.

                        After checking Beckett magazine (usually on sale at hobby shops and card stores), do some research on where you can have these cards (the most valuable ones) graded.

                        Anyone serious about purchasing them will require it.

                          The dude I get most of my firearms from collects this sort of stuff for most of his life, so of you get a wild hair up your ass PM me with a list of what you got and I'll have him peruse the list before the games today to see what info he can assist you with.

                          Knowing him he may want to make an offer on various items on your list once you figure out what you need for each one.

                          And now a word on my girl VanHalenette...

                          She just got into the shower..

                          Cover me while I move

                          DIVER DOWN BABY! OW!!!
