I have never used e-bay before, but I hear it's a great place to sell stuff. Do they charge a fee?
I have Football Cards from the 80's like Joe Theisman, all the Hogs, Herschel Walker, Don McPherson (Eagles QB) John Riggins, Issiac Holt (Dallas-CB), Deion Sanders (Atlanta Falcons-CB) Randall Cunningham (QB for the Eagles) In the "Topps' cards, all in Mint condition and just to name a few.
Are these worth anything?
I also have a ton of Star Rookie cards, like Eric Green, Steelers, then I have him w/ NFL Pro Set 1990 Draft, 1st Round Card TE for the Steelers, Emmit Smith RB 1990 Cowboys, Team MVP and it looks like a Team NFL logo w/The Upper Deck C. %26amp; a National Football League Players Association. R these worth anything?
tons of BASEBALL: Juan Gonzalez, TX Rangers 92 Fleet card (worth anything?)
And which r the best card? Topps, Score, Fleer Ultra?
I have a 1989 Lobardi Award Winner card NFL Proset on Percy Snow,LB Michigan State drafted 1st round Kanasas City Card.
HELP?Where do I get prices for old (80's)comic books/football cards ?
go to uscsux.comWhere do I get prices for old (80's)comic books/football cards ?
http://www.beckett.com/default.osi
To sell on ebay, you do have to pay an insertion fee.Where do I get prices for old (80's)comic books/football cards ?
i would have to say that your cards are not worth too terribly much. pro set was a popular set in its day, but the cards themselves lack the value in today's market. the most expensive card in that set was worth $10.00, and it was an error card. and yes eBay charges a fee. my advice to you, charge more s/h than the actual price. eBay and paypal get a lot of your money. if you go to beckett.com, be prepared to become a member, and pay for it. have fun!
when i was young and collected cards we would use a magazine called beckett. they had all the values of cards from all sports and all brands in there. im sure they either have the magazine still or have something online. anyway hope it helps BECKETT

Are you looking forward to Christmas?
Even though I'm an athiest I'm looking forward to it. It's nothing to do with religion for my family either...we just do it because it's sort of a British tradition. I doubt 90% of British people actually celebrate it's official meaning.
Anyway...what faith are you? Will you be celebrating Christmas? Are you looking forward to it? Do you celebrate its official meaning? Why am I asking so many questions?
FQ: Was Arsene Wenger right to sue the Dutch football association for van Persie's injury?Are you looking forward to Christmas?
I'm Agnostic but I still love Christmas!
The whole festive feeling is just great. I love going out and seeing all the lights etc...Plus, now that it's snowing..it makes it even better. Hope it snows on x-mas day too!
Catholic, Yes I'll celebrate it, but I'm not home so it won't mean as much, No I'm not looking forward to it because of girl problems...mite be the worst christmas ever. I do celebrate it's original meaning and wonder if other do too. Don't mind ur many questions because they have merit
Well we'll see. If I were the dutch FA, I'd go to the extreme from now on and call RVP for either every single match and play him 90 minutes every game from now on. Or never call him again and let him thank Wenger for destroying his international career.Are you looking forward to Christmas?
I have beliefs in god but do not feel the need to put myself in a religion. I am looking forward to it for my daughter its not about me anymore mate. I got a few things to worry myself about over xmas so wont be so great for me.
fq i can see why managers get annoyed with it but the countrys need to play friendlys
love christmas... course i celebrate the official meaning, the giving and taking of presents! lol
i am agnostic and i like christmas for the family values and the get togethers that occurAre you looking forward to Christmas?
agnostic,
define "celebrating",
no because i only get one day off work (booooo!),
never,
maybe because you're nosy
FQ petty, petty man
yeh lol i like christmas.bloody expensive though but worth it .
im catholic christian
fq:could not give a toss about ars eholio wenger lol
yes i am looking forward to christmas. i have no faith :)
no
I would be coming closer to my 16th birthday, no way
Yes, I am looking forward to Christmas this year. My Christmas present to myself is a prostate biopsy. That may sound harsh, but it is proactive health care and at my age (66) the height of taking care of yourself. I could go buy a bag of cookies, but being able to function well past 75 years old is far more important to me because that little five year old boy inside me will still be there when I am 106!
The football question is a bit beyond my scope, but if there were an injustice, a man does what he has to do to obtain justice in any given situation. Whatever balances the pans of the justice scales is what should be done.
What you might want to ask yourself is if he has any chance of prevailing in any upcoming lawsuit which may develop to try to serve his cause. A lot of people seem to forget that one. They sue blindly on principle. Lose money. Lots of it. You have to ask yourself if there is a prayer of winning your case, then proceed accordingly.

Northern americans (USA mainly) must pay royalties either to fifa or English FA for using the name football?
It sad that the world biggest sport n game Football is considered in USA as american football whereas real football is known as soccer overthere. Football dating back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC where as american football around 100 yrs or a little bit more. Thats pure plagiarism, northern american(USA) must pay royalties to FIFA or English FA, but i think to fifa its better, for for using our name and whats more disgusting american football just like "lost babes in z woods" game. if i want to watch "lost babes in z woods" game there r special games for it or even movies.
5 Billion pounds each year should be charged to the American Football (but it involves nearly no kicking its not football my god) association.

Oh God, not this again.
For those of you who are really too dumb to use Wikipedia, here is a brief outline of WHY American football is so called and why it is NOT a misnomer.
The actual word football originally refers to the concept of playing a ball game "on foot", as opposed to horseback. (therefore, if you want to be really strict and pedantic, basketball is a type of football too!) In medieval Britain it was a catch-all term for many different games: some only allowed players to carry the ball in their hands, some only permitted kicking and others allowed either.
When the Football Association was founded in 1863 their first task was to agree on one single code of rules - up until then, the member clubs had their own rulebooks. Early draft rules actually allowed players to carry the ball, but in the end the majority of clubs decided on a kicking-only game (goalkeepers were introduced a few years later), which some members wouldn't accept so they resigned and joined the Football Association.
By that time various types of football had spread to the USA and was sort of in the same situation England had been in before the FA's formation: a bunch of different codes all loosely similar and all called football. The defining moment in the evolution of American football came in 1874 when the McGill University Rugby team went to Massachusetts to play Harvard, first at "Harvard Rules" then at Rugby. Immediately the Americans were intrigued by Rugby and it influenced their own games. At first though, the ensuing contests were extremely dangerous, with players regularly getting killed, which led to changes such as mandatory padding, as well as changes in the rules that took away rucks and introduced forward passing to create modern American football.
Correction: I meant to say "they resigned and formed the Rugby Football Union", not "joined the Football Association".
That's stupid. Really, that's like saying Rugby League should pay royalties to Rugby Union for being called rugby. You can't have copyright on a word, unless it is being used in the context of your product and/or it has a unique connection. E.g.: Nike can copyright Swoosh, but only if it's written in their font.
That's ridiculous and I'm not even an American.Northern americans (USA mainly) must pay royalties either to fifa or English FA for using the name football.?
i'd love to see FIFA try to charge us for calling soccer soccer. we'd kick their *ss and take THEIR money.

Has anyone been killed in soccer?
Has anyone ever been killed playing soccer (association football). Just curious as my friends were having an argument over the most dangerous sport.Has anyone been killed in soccer?
Some players have died on the pitch, but from the ones i know of it was down to health reasons or unexplained death.
Marc Vivian Foe died on the pitch playing for his country, there was a swiss player that died in similar circumstances aswell (at least i think he was swiss anyway).
Techically not on the pitch, but a whole team (amateur) were kidnapped in Colombia by drug barons and executed. Also after a poor display by the Colombian National team in a World Cup, after the players returned home in Colombia, some players were assassinated. So if playing football in Colombia, it can be very dangerous.
Rugby is probably the most dangerous major sport though, i've heard lots of storiesof players that have broken their necks in scrums. Even happens at youth level.
Apparently it's happened quite alot and people have paralyzed from playing Rugby and injuries are common.
Yeah, football can be dangerous and people have been killed. Some had heart problems, and i think a guy from cameroun swallowed his tongue a few years back, some people have also had serious injuries from collisons and crazy tackles, some of which turned out to be fatal, which is why they give straight reds for bad tackles as well as suspensions, to discourage people from making reckless tackles.Has anyone been killed in soccer?
alot of them have been off-the-pitch deaths from injuries sustained either during a match or at practice, but 71 players have died from soccer-related incidents/injuries since 1889, not including Antonio Puerta's murder after his 1994 World Cup own goal, or the Iraqi player who was shot dead on the pitch as he was about to score an equalizing goal. Since the wikipedia list doesn't include those two deaths on the list, then I'm sure there have been more than 73 footballing deaths in its history. It's a rough sport, even if some of us italians are drama queens when we get challenged for the ball :D GO ITALY!!!!

What North American city currently without a major league team will be the next to have such a team?
For purposes of this question, major leagues consist of Major League Baseball, National Football League, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, and Major League Soccer. Also for purposes of this question, cities in a metropolitan area with a major league team do not count as they essentually have one already.
I know that this is generally speculation, but I am interested in is hearing opinions on what city or cities you would pick and why. Thanks in advance.What North American city currently without a major league team will be the next to have such a team?
Las Vegas
There has always been a line between sports and gambling, but with the advent of the Internet, and Indian casinos, it is starting to break down. The argument that a city where gambling is legal could corrupt a professional sports team no longer is a strong, since you can place a sports bet from almost anywhere now. In fact, I think the NBA is planning to hold an All Star game in Vegas. It's the largest television market without a professional sports team, which means there is a lot of money to be made there. It will have a team within 10 years, possibly 5.
Sturgis, South Dakota.What North American city currently without a major league team will be the next to have such a team?
i definitely think that Las Vegas is going to be the next city to have a major league sports team.they certainly have the money to finance a team and would certainly bring in a lot of revenue as well as people to see this sporting event. honestly the whole gambling thing is kinda stupid and naive because people bet on sports regardless. i actually think that the New Orleans Saints or the Seattle Sonics have the best possibility to be the team to go to Vegas
Tulsa, OK....they will get a baseball team...What North American city currently without a major league team will be the next to have such a team?
Las Vegas one of the fastest growing cities without any major team...should get one..but that would eliminate any betting on that team that would be the only draw back..they would need a retractable roof because it is very hot during the summer months...the best bet ..sort to speak would be a NBA team within the next 5 years

Should Gibraltar be allowed to join UEFA and FIFA?
The Football Association of Gibraltar have just been rejected membership of UEFA after 45 member nations voted against the idea. That left 4 nations who were undecided and 3 who voted in favour (who interestingly were England, Scotland and Wales, which along with Northern Ireland make the United Kingdom, keep in mind Gibraltar itself is a British overseas territory).
Sure they may be a micro-nation with a population of only 27,921 people, but I believe that if they are a country, they have the rights to qualify for World Cup's and continental championships, regardless of size.
Also of note is that Gibraltar is only slightly smaller than San Marino, the current smallest nation in UEFA/FIFA.
What do you think?Should Gibraltar be allowed to join UEFA and FIFA?
Well, I don't have any objection to places like Gibralter wanting to put together a federation and compete----why would anybody object to that? As it is though----just like for San Marino---they would have little to no chance of ever winning a game. Why not put these smaller micro-nations into a federation of their own? There are a lot of small island-nations in the Caribbean and in the South Pacific who would fit in too. Just a thought.Should Gibraltar be allowed to join UEFA and FIFA?
I do not believe any small contry has the right to take part they should have to go through a qualifiying compition between them if we are honest most of the little countrys do not have a big enough Stadiums to host games against the big guns of international football which makes it unsafe for the big games to go ahead in the small nationsShould Gibraltar be allowed to join UEFA and FIFA?
what next the vatican forming their own football team? if they want to form a football team then fine but they should have to qualify for the world cup %26amp; euro championships qualifiers. they should go into a group along with san marino, faroe islands, andorra, luxembourg and armenia. these countries bring nothing to the table and should have to earn the right to participate in any qualifiers.
Yes but what is the point , we wouldn't get very far.
