Baseball Card Price Guide
Robert Grazian asked:
The collecting of baseball cards is a very popular pastime and in some cases can be a very lucrative business. If you bear in mind that the most valuable baseball card changed hands in 2007 for $2.35million then you may be wise to think about looking at a baseball card price guide to see if any of those cards that you have lurking around in the attic are of value.
Ease of access to the internet and the world wide web has meant that it is becoming increasingly easy to find out information which has previously been difficult to get hold of. The world of collectibles will benefit greatly from access to the internet and you do not always have to take your collection hundreds of miles to see a specialist collector anymore. One good baseball card price guide is cardpricer.com. Here you will find prices for over a million cards.
As with many of the websites that relate to collectibles and antiques, this site not only gives you information regarding a baseball card price guide, but also gives you help to locate cards that you are looking for and a wealth of other related information. It also has a forum which you can join. Here you will be able to chat to other collectors around the world and share experiences and stories and also locate cards and arrange to buy and sell. It is always good to keep in touch with other collectors. They, more than anyone, will appreciate the value of your experience and knowledge regarding lost cards, as well as the value of your card collection. It is great to be in touch with like minded collectors.
If you have a large collection of cards, or more than one collection, it may take you a long time to individually value them using an online baseball card price guide. You may consider getting in touch with a specialist and letting them have a look at the collection. This way you will be able to establish whether the collection is worth more as a whole than as individual cards. Sometimes, if you have a complete set of cards, they will be worth quite a lot more than an incomplete collection. Letting a specialist see the cards will help to establish their worth. You may also need to let a specialist assess the cards if you are not sure about the category that they fall into regarding their condition. This can sometimes make a big difference in their value. Some guides will not always take this into account and will only give a generalized value. Be sure of who you are dealing with at all times and never mail your collection if at all possible.
Whichever baseball card price guide you use, whether it be online or via a specialist, I hope that you get a valuation for your collection that makes you smile and makes all the running around and locating and chasing of cards worthwhile.

Sports Fans Unite! Sports Card Wanted
Matthew Finn asked:
Depending on the sport of your choice, sport cards can be valuable, but hard to find or they can be less valuable and nearly everywhere you turn. Perhaps it is a certain card that you want- a certain player’s rookie card maybe, but where can you find the card you are looking for?
If you are lucky enough to have a sports memorabilia shop close by, you can begin your search for your cards there. If the shop does not have the actual card you are looking for, you can more than likely post a “sports card wanted” ad listing exactly what or who you are looking for. Be careful about posting personal contact information, perhaps have people contact you at the shop itself. You may get quicker results if you have cards of your own to trade.
Another option for finding your wanted sports cards is online. Search either Ebay or Craigslist for sports card wanted- and see if you can trade or buy the cards that you are looking for. Again, be very careful with personal contact information and use your best judgment when buying things online.
If you are a student, you can possibly post a “sports card wanted” advertisement on the bulletin board or in the school paper. Be as specific as possible when posting your ad to avoid an onslaught of items that you do not need or want. If you find that you get a lot of response to an ad you might consider forming a club to further facilitate future trades of this kind- you will find the sports cards that you want, and have just made new friends and contacts in the bargain.
Sports cards can be a time consuming, but fascinating hobby. Some cards are very valuable- and can be more than worth the effort it takes to finding them. If you trade well, you could find yourself in possession of a collection that is more than double the value of what you started with. Of course, some people trade or sell cards only for the fun, or because they have an affection for a certain player. Some people only want the rarest of cards, some people will take whatever card comes their way. Depending on the sport, you may have more than you know what to do with, or you may find yourself searching and barely finding anything at all.
I collect hockey cards. Do I search for the ones that I would like to have? No, not really, but if I run across some, I consider it a good day. I am not dedicated to finding hockey cards- but hey, if someone has a Darius Kaspiritus card laying around, I will not turn my nose up at it!

When purchasing older baseball cards, does the manufacturer of the card affect the card’s value?
snowandsun asked:
I am buying some baseball cards for my husband’s birthday gift. He is really into baseball cards right now…
I am buying some baseball cards for my husband’s birthday gift. He is really into baseball cards right now…
I bought in a couple of cards of his favorite players from the 50’s, and they are both Topps cards. Does that affect the price? Or doesn’t it matter who made the card?
They are both graded 8, one is a Harmon Killebrew rookie card, the other is a Ted Williams from 1955.
How do I sell old football cards?
riderkat asked:
I have a bunch (approx. 40) of old football cards, all but one in mint condition. Most are Troy Aikman, but there are also other Cowboys greats from the ’90s, and even one Tom Landry card. How do I figure out what (if anything) they’re worth, and what’s the best way to sell them?

Should I start collecting baseball cards?
Daniel asked:
I am getting more interested in baseball now since I made the baseball team for my high school, and collecting baseball cards seems fun. What are some good grands to buy a pack from, and can I get them from like Wal-Mart and Target? And as of right now, I just want to buy modern day baseball cards, not like the expensive baseball cards from decades ago. How do I know which cards are good and bad?

Collecting Vintage Sports Cards for Profit Online
Eddie Delgado asked:
Sports card collecting has been part of our culture sine the 1800’s; boxing cards were popular during these times. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s baseball emerged as the popular sport cards for collectors. As a boy the thrill of collecting was amazing. Today the thought of owning a Babe Ruth or a Honus Wagner is unbelievable and with so many players the ability to profit from these sports cards online is amazing.
The great part of collecting is that it’s all a click away. The internet has opened the market for trading sports cards and other sports memorabilia. My collection has grown from 1,500 hundred cards, which took me about ten years to collect, to over thirty-thousand cards that I have found online. I now have included a 1909 e93 Honus Wagner and a 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth to my collection and I obtained these within a year’s period. These cards would have been impossible to locate without the right research and the easy use of the internet.
Making a profit in this hobby requires lots of research. You must attend baseball card shows, search thru yard sales, and visit antique shops too.
There are many factors that go into determining the value of a sports card. These factors include: Hall Of Fame Status, player stats, and the rarity of the card. Cards that show markings or damaged corners could determine its condition and rank its value. Sport cards have a ranking of poor, fair, good, excellent, and mint. When reviewing a card determining the condition will in turn determine the value, and later your future profits.
Sports card collecting is a great way to show children the world of investing. Investing in sports cards requires the same theory adults use when creating an investment portfolio. The actual cost to get started in sports card collecting would require a small investment in comparison to the cards future value. It is important to store your cards in protective plastic card holders and in a cool climate room to maintain its condition.
