WHere do you find the values of baseball cards online?
There are a few major factors that determine the value of a baseball card:
- Player/Subject - Stars/Hall of Fame players are in the most demand; e.g., Mickey Mantle cards consistently get the highest prices.
- Age - Generally speaking, the older, the better ... but not always.
- Scarcity - Some cards have great value just because they are rare; if they are rare AND have the first two factors, you have a very valuable card.
- Personal - Some buyers have a personal interest in certain cards and will pay more for them than the average collector would.
- Condition - In most cases, this is the most important factor; in fact, there are several professional grading companies. Most serious collectors expect cards to be as close to brand-new as possible, but the first four factors -- especially age -- can reduce the expectation for top condition.
The difficulty with researching the value of your baseball cards online, especially if it is a "high end" card, is that any serious buyer is going to want to know details of the card's condition ... which typically can be done only by personally examining the card(s). It is having a buyer that determines the value of a card. If no one's interested in the card, it has no value.
Professional grading companies, such as PCGS (pcgs.com), and Beckett (beckett.com) charge fees for grading cards, which can be as much as $20 or $30 per card! Obviously that's only worth it for higher end baseball cards. Professional baseball card buyers, however, will typically offer a free baseball card appraisal, if you are interested in selling the card(s), and will make you an offer to buy the card, which you can accept or reject. An example would be BaseballCardBuyer.com Inc. in Minneapolis, Minnesota (baseballcardbuyer.com).
Beckett and other companies also publish baseball card price guides (e.g., the "Beckett Almanac of Baseball Cards and Collectibles", Sports Collectors' Digest "Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards"), which are typically nearly 2,000 pages of cards and prices! Since they sell these books, they are not going to give the information free online.
So where is the best place to find baseball card values online? If you're not interested in selling the cards, but want to know the value, the best place is on eBay (eBay.com). Again, the value of a card is determined by what someone will actually pay for it. If your card is being sold on eBay, you will get an excellent idea of what it's worth to another collector.
If you are interested in selling your cards, then you need to contact a professional dealer/buyer such as BaseballCardBuyer.com Inc., named above. If you call them, they may give you a "ballpark" range (pun intended) of the value of your cards, but they will need to see it/them before making a final and specific offer. Dealers/buyers typically offer quite a bit less than collectors buying on eBay would offer. They are in business to make a profit and will not buy cards unless they can - A. make some money on it, and - B. are fairly sure they have a collector/client who would be interested in the card.
BOTTOM LINE: You can find out the value of your baseball cards in terms of what it's worth to other collectors, for example, by checking prices on eBay. If your main desire is to sell a collection though, you want to contact a professional dealer.
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.
