I have mostly '89 to '91 cards. I'm trying to figure out how to do something with them rather than move them.

Donruss, Fleer are two of the brands.

I THINK I have two or three complete sets. And a whole bunch of this and that.

I'll know more when it stops pouring rain so I can go home.

My father collects them. I personally don't know much about which specific cards are worth money, but I do know that almost anything after about the late 70s/early 80s is usually not worth a whole lot. Often, it's worth far less than it cost to buy new. A good rule of thumb is that the better the player the more their card is likely to be worth, with that player's rookie cards fetching the highest premium. However, always consider baseball cards as a hobby rather than an investment. Some cards will appreciate, most will go down. Overall, they're a losing proposition unless you buy very rare, very old stuff.

You can get a rough idea of what these are worth by watching what some eBay auctions for them close at, or by doing a search for price listings.
