I have over 3000 baseball cards and would like to know the best way of finding the value of each card. For example I have a Mint Condition (in a collector's authenticator case) card of Joe DiMaggio.
I've even given a card of Babe Ruth to a kid with Bone Marrow Cancer.
Instead of lugging in 4 books full of baseball cards to store and spending hours asking someone else how much each one is worth, is there a way to spend hours looking around on the internet to find the value.
Specific things I need to look for?
-
ebay is where you will find what people will pay for them

I cant remember the name of the website. I'll lok for it when I get home. But in the meantime you can go to your local supermarket and pick up a card magizine. They will show the prices and how many were made. This is only book price not what people would pay. I would suggest that you seperate your cards by their maker and try to put them in order by their number. Helps alot when looking for prices.

that should only take several days;) Thanks for the tip. E-bay would be the best place to sell em, I have a bunch I know aren't worth very much though (even have a few of the same cards) so was planning on selling the more valuable cards individually and the less valuable cards as a collection.

Do you really need the money? Old cards like that keep going up in value over time, I would tuck them away and leave them to the kids, or their kids.

I need the money:confused:

raptor, the main things you will need are the, the name of the card manufacturer, the year of the card, and the players name, and what condition the card is in. just remember that the price you might find is always negotiable, baseball cards are like stocks, they go up and down depending on how many are in population, I would suggest grouping the cheaper cards together and try selling them all at once, then sell your good cards individually. when i was a kid i had millions of baseball cards ( parents threw allot of them away... idiots lol ) and the only way we had to get an idea of how much they were was to go to the store and buy a baseball card "becket(sp)" I'm since the internet revolution they have made them available online by now......
i would just do a search such as.. free baseball card guide, or free baseball card becket, something like that bro. good luck hope you find they are worth allot of $$

I will give you $5 for the lot. :)

Get ahold of a magizene called "Tough Stuff", or something close to that... it lists prices on everything, cards, autographs, etc... You find em at comic book stores.

yes, ebay will have just about every card for sale and you can see what people will pay for them. EBAY has reduced the value of baseball cards dramatically.

ebay has reduced the number of people buying overpriced cards from dealers.
auction value is really good way of finding what the value of something is
