I have a Peter Forsberg rookie card in mint condition, not signed. I am wanting to sell it to a friend and didn’t know what to ask for it.
I also have a huge box of baseball, football and some basketball card and I can’t find anyone here in Colorado who deals in sports trading cards. I have over 200 or 300 cards and was wondering if anyone would be interested in buying all the cards.
Thanks,
Kim Schoneck
