Baseball card collecting poised to pull out of slump PennLive.com
05.04.10
Another baseball mellow is under way, and for generations, kids — and some grown-ups — have looked forward to the arrival of the new season’s baseball cards.
In the tardy 1980s, baseball cards emerged as collectors’ items. Avid collectors of baseball cards in the 1950s and 1960s were collecting unquestioningly as adults, and the value of many cards soared.
The makers of baseball cards jacked up production, sometimes from a few hundred to millions. Fans collected, hoping that their cards would rise in value. Baseball probable shops opened around the country.
The hobby is not what it used to be.
With the market flooded with cards, most of the card shops folded. Many collectors knowledgeable that cards were worth only a fraction of what they paid for them. Dealers found new competition on the Internet.

When it comes to shin-plasters, a baseball card is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
Two of the most popular baseball card price guides are Beckett and Tuffstuff. A tricky feeling about different price guides is that they may have different values for the same card! At this time Beckett is the most commonly used show. Some collectors love Beckett and some hate it, but the bottom line is that Beckett is the resource that most collectors use.

Most places that collect lists like that do it so you have to pay to get the information. Ebay is a fairly decent place to get prices. The good thing about them is that you be versed that someone actually paid the price. Do a historical search and look for auctions that have ended and pay attention to the ones that had bids. Another dream is to go to websites that sell cards and see what they sell the cards for. This is not that great of an idea but is better than nothing. They may have a card for sale on there and it is priced too high and people are not buying it. If you try to deal in yours at the same price you will suffer the same fate. You can also check out their page and see if you can find their buy lists. Most of these places buy cards but they greatly underprice them in these lists. From these lists though you can at least get an clue of what is popular.

for the most meticulous pricing check completed ebay listings. there is a fee for using becketts online price guide.
Erase: In response to the Beckett comment below. Most prices in Beckett are not correct, it is nearly impossible for Beckett to keep them regulary updated and Beckett primarly uses completed Ebay auctions to low there prices anyway. Beckett only really cares about there new release pricing. Once the product is old they dont keep up with the value to well.

Top 7 Depressingly Cheap Baseball Cards
The greatest day of the month as an 11-year old was coming home ground to a new Beckett Baseball Card Monthly in your mailbox. Who was on the cover? What went up? What went down? Who’s the Hottest and Coldest competitor? What lies will readers tell in Autograph Experiences? The worst lie, though, was not ever being told that “universal up” really means nothing, and what a card is “worth” was quite different than what was in the Beckett. Never is that more unmistakable than if you cruise E Bay now and see how much your favorite “expensive” cards go for. It’s unbelievably depressing.
7. Ken Griffey Jr. 1989 Loftier Deck
This one used to “book” (love that baseball card price guide slang) for $100, and you can find a new one for under ten bucks. It’s indeed a bit refreshing that this one still goes for even that, many cards are way more depressing to check as you will see. There is still an aura around the Griffey card, which is probably why it still costs something: most underappreciated especially bettor of this generation; the first “high-end” set (which ended up making cards not as fun anymore); the first card of the first “high-end” set; for all time a super-hyped rookie who actually panned out. It may be the most famous card of the peak of collecting that didn’t comprise curse words on a bat.
6. 1991 Topps Stadium Club
If 1989 Upper Deck was the first “high-end” set, Topps Hippodrome Club was the first “ungodly high-end” set. They started out at $4 per pack for 12 cards, and once their esteem grew, they sometimes cost $8 or even higher. I remember being at a card show where a guy was selling them at $4 during its peak, and kids were lined up to buy them like guys waiting for Neon Beaudeau in Downhearted Chips. It was a really cool set—each player’s Topps rookie card was shown on the back, Nolan Ryan and Ozzie Smith were in tuxes, and Genuine Thomas had the most sought-after card. You can now buy the entire set on E Bay for an opening bid of…five dollars. Good God. That’s a lot of lawns mowed for nothing.
