I have a bunch of baseball cards are they worth anything?
The value of baseball cards as with any other collectible is dictated by supply, and demand. The lower the number of items available on the market with the highest demand will have a higher value. Older baseball cards are fewer in number than today's baseball cards, and in general have a higher value. There are modern cards that have high value, that are available in high numbers but, the demand for those cards is greater than the number avalible. As time passes if collectors lose interest in these cards because of the large numbers printed the value will drop big time. The older cards in less number in time will have a better chance of holding their value longer.

Who makes the gum in baseball card packs?
This is a great question. Starting as the Topps gum company in 1938, the Brooklyn, NY based, Topps Gum was eventually replaced by Bazooka Bubble Gum in 1947 and is now one of America's most recognized products. Topps added trading cards in 1950 to try and enhance gum sales. That year, Hopalong Cassidy and Frank Buck "Bring 'em Back Alive" cards were issued. The following year the first baseball cards were published (Red Backs, and Blue Backs game cards.) In 1952 the First set was issued with the famed Mickey Mantle Rookie Card, and a Stick of Gum! Topps received numerous complaints from collectors that the gum was either staining the cards, or creating an impression in them, sacrificing their "mint" condition. The gum was eliminated in 1991. There was nothing like the pleasure of opening up a fresh pack of baseball cards, and smelling that sweet aroma of that stick of gum included with the cards. Sticking that brittle piece of gum in your mouth, and cracking the gum into smaller hard grainy pieces until the Gum became soft and chewy. It was heaven. They should have never removed the Gum. It was an experience worth sacrificing a baseball card to a stain. I don't know why collectors get upset over the gum stain anyway. To me it's like a letter of Authenticity. How many fake baseball cards have you seen with a gum stain? It was part of the baseball card experience. I think Gum Stains are great! -Steven KeyMan Check out "Gum Stain" - in my new Baseball Collectibles Glossary. The Gum is Back! - I'm not sure if this is the first year but the 2008 Topps Opening Day baseball cards come with Gum in every pack. See the Related Links for "Glossary Of Baseball Collectible Terms > G > Gum Stain " to the bottom for the answer.
What is the most expensive hockey card?
Which hockey card is best? This is a very open-ended question. As a long-time collector and a writer of sports memorabilia topics I can think of many answers.
1/ If you like older hockey cards (pre-1980) then the response is simple O-Pee-Chee.
2/ But, if you like more modern era cards then without a doubt one of many Upper Deck products (usually the one with the shortest print run is the best).
3/ On a more personal level, the best hockey card is the one that you like best for whatever reason. It could simply be aesthetics that appeal to you or it could be the hockey card of your favorite team or player.
4/ If it is the value of one card that you are seeking then a Gordie Howe Rookie Card from 1951-52 Parhurst or a Bobby Orr Rookie Card from 1966-67 Topps.
The possibilities for this answer are endless!!

What is the value of Desert Storm trading card pack?
The short answer: about $10 for an unopened box or $20 for a full set of mint condition cards. I have an opened box I've been sitting on since I was a kid, anxiously awaiting the day these might have some value. They sell for almost nothing on Ebay. When they first came out they were produced in such large numbers, marketed as though they would be priceless someday. Maybe in another decade or two we will be millionaires. The full set is fun. i have only open 1 to see whats inside. there are cards and 1 sticker

It depends on what card it is. For an example, retired player cards are worth more. An autographed Wayne Gretzky rookie card would be worth much more than an autographed Sidney Crosby rookie card.
