The Mantle and Griffey cards basically pay for it, especially after I get them graded.

Oh, and the Jeter Refractor is worth a few pennies as well.

Damn, this makes me sad. Baseball cards are only worth a fraction of what they were 15-20 years ago. To put it in perspective, the Rickey Henderson rc that was basically thrown in on your purchase, I sold for over $100 20 years ago.
I have a bunch of old baseball cards, but I wonder if they'll ever be worth much. I haven't purchased any in years.
