Always wondered what happened to that Orange County Choppers dad.

I sold my Marino RC along with my Cal Ripken & Ken Dryden and Guy Lafleur RCs to help buy a wedding ring for my wife

Assuming you are still married I call it only a marginal error of judgement. Ps, I sold a Wayne Gretzky rookie for 500 dollars to help fund a drunken golfing excursion to Vegas. Money well spent if I remember correctly

I once had the Topps Dan Marino AFC Pro Bowl card, too.

Lost over time like so many of my other really cool possessions. I didn't miss the card as much as my Arp Axxe Synth, or my 1972 Ford Maverick (V8), or my Polaroid SX-70 (which was stolen).

This card today is worth about $40 in a PSA 5. Which means it probably was worth less than $10 when it was sold. It’s more of a statement of the father selling whatever he had to provide whatever he could to his family, which makes it even more beautiful and meaningful.

I have that card. I love it too. Got a bunch of Marinos and will pass them down!

I have a hard time believing that card is only worth $40.

It’s not
I still have my rookie Marino card in pristine condition and was offered $750 for it
it may be worth a little bit less but not by much

If you were offered $750 it is probably worth more. I have 2 of them.

That was about three or four years ago

In the football card and in this case, a graded football card, the value goes up almost exponentially based on what it’s graded at. A near mint 9 is worth much more than “Good” 5 which is what that card was. Not taking away from the gift, it was awesome. If. You happen to have a mint graded 10? Forget it.

Marino rookie was notorious for being off center and for having black printer dots on it. Really nice examples are worth a lot, especially those graded 9 or hopefully 10.

When grading cards became the new BS capitalist $hizzle I got out of the hobby. Chase card sin BB were bad enough.
