well what killed the sports card market is that there are so many kinds now...

back in the day it was Topps, Upper Deck, Fleer, and Donruss... now there are like 100 kinds of cards for each year.

I will give you a example of this...

Ive got 30 Marvin Harrison rookie cards.. of those 30, about 16 of them are different... so thats 16 different brand of cards.

Topps use to be Topps, now its Topps Chrome, Topps Stadium Club, etc...

the sports card market is dead.

Yes, oversaturation killed the sports card market. I used to be a big collector. My top five cards that I can think of....

*2000 Ultra Lavar Arrington rookie. He didn't sign with the players association when he was drafted so none of his cards were supposed to be made. In the effort to get rookies out asap, Fleer Ultra and Upper Deck Collectors Choice accidently let some of his cards slip into production. The Ultra one is by farrrr more rare than the upper deck. Last time I checked it was $200.

*Peyton Manning Topps Autograph.
*Mike Schmidt Upper Deck Legends Auto
*Kenny Stabler Game used Jersey card
*Johnny Bench game used jersey card
*Alex Rodriguez game used bat card

If anyone is interested in purchasing any of these, let me know.
(Except for the Petyon Auto, I wanna keep that)
