Will trading cards ever go up in value?

Hi, I have a whole slew of old comic/sports cards (ones that before the internet would have sold for quite a bit), but I am wondering: With technology going how it is going, and interest in paper novelties such as these, comic books, etc., will the value ever go up?? I have a mint condition Michael Jordan from 1993 and saw it on ebay for 1.99 :( Is it hopeless? Should I just throw them away?

Will trading cards ever go up in value?
Don't throw them away you can sell them all to me. To be honest with you they will go up. They are like the economy supply and demand. When the demand comes back for them the price will go up. Just sit on them and wait and don't do anything you will regret.
Reply:Some go up, some don't.


There are many factors involved.


If you have one of those food vacuum packing machines, seal them up %26amp; store them a few years.


As the supply of available cards/books drops, the prices may go up.
Reply:With the way that online auction sites keep getting more and more poular, and with the number of users on these sites growing and growing the value of sports cards/collectibles will keep going down. There is a much higher supply of cards then there is a demand, which is why you see those low prices. It is not all the fault of online marketplaces however. There are to many card comapnies out there making way to many different cards. As an example it used to be that there were 3-4 rookies of major people, there are now tons of rookies out there. The card comapnies have flooded the market with cards, which along with the worlwide online marketplace has killed sports card c ollecting as many of us once knew it.
Reply:Unforunately, Yes, throw them away or advertise them on E-Bay - collectibles ARE ONLY OF VALUE to OTHER COLLECTORS.
Reply:A few of them may be valuable in another 50 years. Find another investment for your money.
