How do you get graded basketball cards?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you want cards graded go the PSA or Beckett. If you want to buy them they are readily available online and at card shows. I'd also suggest to buy the highest grade possible. Even if it costs a little more. The PSA 9 for example, are a dime a dozen. While the PSA 10 is fairly rare.

eBay is a good place to see what collectors are currently paying for a card, and this is what the value of a card is based on. Do a completed items search on eBay for the card you are looking for. Note the condition of the card that sells as compared to the card you have. Base your price on a number auction results.

The condition of the card holds the bulk of the value. Be sure to take note if the card is graded or non-graded. Graded cards can sell as high as twice the market value or more. If your card is not graded you can not use this price as a yardstick.

You can find prices on your cards for free on WikiAnswers. To determine a value of your card ask the question providing the following important information: The year the card was issued, the company that issued the card, the player, and the card number.

Is a signed Jim Perry baseball card of any value?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A Jim Perry autographed baseball card is worth between $20. -$25. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Signatures that have not been authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.

Collectible items could add value to the price of a signature but not always. As in the case of a baseball card, generally collectors of baseball cards would rather have a baseball card without the signature. The signature would be considered as a flaw in the condition of the card and will lower the value.

A collector of signatures will not always pay extra for the "collectible" baseball card. The autograph collectors main concern is displaying the signature. This is why it is not a good idea to have an expensive baseball card signed. You could devalue the price of the card, and get less for it.

Once a collectible baseball card is signed the value of the card dramatically goes down as a collectible. The card then becomes an Item to display the signature. The bulk of the value relies on the value of the signature of the player that signed the card, and how well the card displays the signature.

In general a signed baseball card is worth about 30% - 40% the price of a signed baseball or the same price of a signed 8 x 10 photo. A high valued card can add some value.

What were the names of the companies that issued the first baseball cards?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It all began with the images of baseball players on cards sold with tobacco products in the 1880's. Some of the earliest Tobacco companies from the 1900's included Old Mill Cigarettes, Turkey Red Cigarettes, Piedmont, Cycle, and Sweet Caporal.

Candy companies soon got into the act, names such as The American Caramel co., Zeenuts, and lets not forget (,,,Buy me som peanuts, and) Cracker Jacks. The Goudey Gum co. produced cards from 1933 to 1941 and by this time the baseball card industry took on a life of its own with the increasing popularity of the cards as collectibles. The modern day Cards issued by companies like Bowman, and Topps Took baseball cards to the next level.
