Where can I get some old baseball cards appraised?
Jun 23, 2008 by Mizz Juicie | Posted in Baseball
I have some uncommonly old baseball and basketball trading cards. Where can i get them appraised and sold somewhere in the Memphis,Tn area if possible?
Strapping one, I guess it all depends on the age of the card. If by "really old", you mean cards from the 50s,60s, 70s, and early to mid 80s. You might have some good artifact there and you should definitely pick up a price guide (or go to Beckett.com) and price out each card. If you are talking about anything post 1988, most of it isn't value too much. Still I would go and do the pricing myself. Dealers tend to offer you 25% - 50% of the item's true value. Get an idea of what it's good through price guides and then use your best judgment as far as what you think it's really worth by visiting sites like Naxcom.com and ebay.com.

If theres a regional sports memorabilia shop nearby, try taking them there. The one by me appraises cards, autographs, etc., and even buys them on the spot if you want them to. Lawful make sure you know where they're getting their information so you don't get ripped off

Here is my design to re-invent the sports card market. Every collector takes a 600ct cardboard box and fills it up; then takes this box and preferrably recycles it, trashes it, or burns it. This will enforce scarcity within the market. The supply would be cut by 3,000,000 cards if just 5,000 collectors did this. E-mail me @ neboguy13@hotmail.com if you're interested in me adding you to the slate of collectors who have done it. I've started my box already. . . LONG LIVE COLLECTING!!!

Does anyone know a good baseball card appraising website?
Oct 11, 2007 by ilovethephillies | Posted in Baseball
It can just now be a thorough price index of cards. The website has to have modern cards, and a comprehensive index. It has to be a FREE website.
As far as I recall there are no free sites dedicated to the pricing of Baseball Cards. The paid alternative is of course Beckett which I would recommend. Their search is horribly uninteresting and cumbersome but very detailed.
Before I became a member of Beckett.com I would simply search eBay's history of completed sales and get a existent world estimate of the price of a card I recently pulled. You can find the completed sales search by visiting this epoch and be sure to check the "completed items only" tick.
http://search.ebay.com/ws/search/AdvSearch
Another selection is to use the free version of the same search at http://www.terapeak.com . That site pulls information on completed eBay sales from the over and done with 30 days and groups all of the listings' giving you an average selling price, etc.
I find that the eBay value of a New Year card to generally be a little better than half of the Beckett value.
If the cards in question are not relatively new TuffStuff has an archive of old pricing for cards ready for free in pdf format. Browse on over to their website and take a look.

Good luck!

Devalued
If you have assume from more than a couple of my entries you have probably caught the idea that I am passionate about the game of baseball.
My Dad introduced me to the game in the mid-sixties and there isn’t a seventh inning stint that passes that I don’t think of him. Baseball is still a very strong connection between my Dad and I even though he passed away over 12 years ago.
Means to learn the quarry in the mid-sixties were few compared to today’s opportunities. “Back then” it was a good week if three games were ready in our home. It wasn’t that Mom wouldn’t let us watch until the dishes were done. It’s just that the number of games televised were to the nth degree limited. “These days” with my laptop and MLB.TV subscription, I have access to almost every game that will be played this season.
Without query the fastest way a ten year old kid could learn the players in the sixties was found in the collecting of baseball cards. At a nickel a pack one didn’t necessity to be a millionaire to build a rather large collection of cards.
But the true student of the game didn’t just meet the cards. He or she studied them. I can say it now because I don’t think the Dean will be reading this, but I confess that I studied those baseball cards with greater intensity than I ever studied any keynote in all my years of higher education.
Thankfully, when I went to college my thoughtful parents took the time to carefully box my collecting and store them for me. After dinner one night at their place, I ventured up into their attic and found a gold mine of cards in near perfect condition.
Crave story short….I took a winter to catalog and categorize them and a couple of years later I sold a break up of my collection for a rather handsome sum of money.
When some of my buddies began to ask how ole’ Frederick was sporting new golf shoes and a snazzy new bag on slit day they were told about the night in the attic with the flickering flashlight.
