Heya, mind if I jump in here - this comment has piqued my interest.

I've got an old collection from the early 90s as mentioned in my comment further up.

Are my black bordered cards indeed Beta?

I'm going through this list you shared for the Beta edition cards and some of these prices are ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure I'm misinterpreting something.

Your cards are almost certainly worth a lot less. Maybe they are beta, but they probably aren’t nearly as good condition as you would like to think.

I'm sure you're right.

I played these cards to death and didn't really care for their condition aside from just sticking them in plastic sleeves.

Anyway this was a fun little trip down memory lane.

Maybe they'll be worth something in another 20 years?

Even "pretty bad" condition Beta is still worth a pretty penny. Lots of people just want to have complete sets, or play "1994" League which allows only cards from that era. There will definitely be a market if you do indeed have Beta :)
