Congratulations your cards are part of the most recent GPK releases. Topps released 3 Flashback (FB) sets between 2010-2011. Topps released 3 Brand New Series (BNS) sets between 2012-2013. Beginning in 2014 Topps started releasing sets based on year or separate naming convention. Generally our collections we had when we were kids were not stored well, ex. Rubber Bands = Bad. Also keep in mind collectors aren’t going to pay anything extra for sentimental value. Continue on to get a general idea how much your cards are worth.
- Step 2 – Is there writing on the backs of your cards? STOP! Your cards are close to worthless. Condition is everything to collectors. Generally collectors only want Near Mint – Mint condition cards. For a detailed description of card conditions check out PSA’s website.
- Step 3 – Look at the corners of the cards, are they fuzzy, rounded in any way, are there any creases? STOP! Your cards are close to worthless. Condition is everything to collectors.
