How Much Are My Baseball Cards Worth?

The one question that we continually to get over and over from all of our customers is how much her my card worth.  This question is really determined based on what the cards are and what condition they are in.  I normally tell most people that asked me this question your cards are really worth what someone is really willing to pay for them.  No price guide or person can tell you what a card is worth more than the results of what a card actually sold for in a live marketplace.  I normally use eBay as the best way to tell a customer what they’re baseball cards or football cards are worth.  When somebody sells a card on eBay, in most cases, is seen by a few thousand people which are looking for that particular card.  If the card sells for a certain amount of money without a reserve price that is normally what the card is really worth.  To make a real assessment of the value of a card I normally look at three completed auctions for that car on eBay and then average the cost of the cards that have been sold.  If you see three cards sell for roughly the same price or in the range of the same price you pretty much know what that card is worth.  The only thing that I recommend is that you make sure that you compare the card based on its condition, grade, year, and if the card has been graded by a professional grading card company.  This will take the guessing out of what a baseball card or football card is actually worth.  Some customers of asked me how much their whole collection is worth.  I tell them to do exactly the same thing.  Take out the best cards in the collection and price them on eBay based on this criteria.  If you intend to find the value of your baseball cards for the intention of selling them on eBay this will also help you as a guide to know what to price the car at.  If you see that graded cards of the card that you own a selling for a lot more money on eBay you might want to consider a professional grading card company to grade the cards for you.  All these factors should be taken into consideration when determining how much your cards are actually worth.  There is no need to guess and no need to spend money on price guides as long you have Internet access and eBay.
