FINALLY, A BLOG THAT ASKS THE QUESTIONS NO ONE HAS EVEN THOUGHT OF ASKING.

That’s right. While other blogs are busy talking about their feelings, kids, or guinea pigs... 

[Bailey is sooooo cute!]

...I’m asking probing questions like HOW MUCH IS A ROOKIE MIKE SEAVER CARD REALLY WORTH?

Before that, here’s a bit of background for the Gen Y peeps:

Mike Seaver (played by Kirk Cameron) was the oldest son in the hit ABC show GROWING PAINS. The series lasted from 1985 – 1992 (give or take a couple of reunion shows).

So how much is the card worth?

The only place I could find the card value (without going to a bookstore and spending my money on a trading card price guide) is ebay. Here’s what I got.

1985 MIKE SEAVER ROOKIE CARD (near mint condition)  $6.95

MEANWHILE A 1985 MAGGIE SEAVER ROOKIE CARD IS ONLY WORTH A BUCK.

The project LEO never wanted you to see. Yep, for a starting bid of just $9.99 you could be on your way to owning all the great Seaver moments, in convenient trading card form. Also included are “Seaver funny quotes” stickers and gum. The GROWING PAINS TRADING CARD set has 66 cards in all, and is in totally mint condition. [Click here to bid.]

NWM Tip: The gum is over 20 yrs old, so I’d probably hold off on giving it a chew.
