Money sports cards pricing - Page 2

booger · 01-14-2011, 01:03 PM

Just wanted to know if anyone has used online sites to price their baseball or other sports cards collections. I've got mostly Baseball but a few football and basketball. Before buying a subscription i thought i'd get the planet's thoughts. Doesn't seem to be any free sites and Ebay isn't much help.

Beckett was always the best one years ago when i collected.

currently looking into this site.
http://www.vintagecardprices.com/

Also have a couple of vintage baseball gloves from the 30's or so and a couple irons and woods golf clubs that are ancient.

Some of the stuff has sentimental value as it was in the family a long time and others i would part with. Just trying to find the right place to have it appraised.

Thanks

i haven't bought in years. probably early 90's. just kept them around.

Ebay (and frauds) killed the value of all cards unless it's a verifiable rarity.

Save 'em.

Use them to heat your house in a couple years when energy prices have tripled due to the weakened dollar (/DC)

The market's shot. I have probably 10,000 of the things gathering dust in my basement. I'll probably give them to my kid someday so he can trade them for the newest 'Pog' style fad collectible.

Unless it's Magic: The Gathering, in which case I'll beat him and take him to a strip club. I might even buy him a hooker and tell him he'll never get to do that again on his present path.

Yeah...so what were we talking about again?

I know this is neither here nor there, but I have a Tops Peyton Manning rookie card. My GF babysat her nephew some years back, and the MFer got into my cards, and got the ****er wet in it's hard plastic sleeve. Can you believe that shit?

You about crap your pants when you get the mail and realize they actually sent it back.

Thats awesome. When I ws going through my boxing phase I got the home addresses to over 50 boxers by paying $10 to an ad in Tuff Stuff. I sent boxing cards(yes they made them) and got back a few. Roy Jones Jr, George Foreman and Sugar Ray Leonard. Sugar Ray sent a letter back and all. Said for legal reasons he cant sign a card so he sent an autographed 8x6 picture. Youre right, thats the best feeling as a kid opening mail from those guys.
