How does Forbes value how much a baseball team worth?
337686
Steinbrenner could definitely sell the Yankees for a billion dollars. The way Forbes comes up with how much a team is worth is by liquidating all of their assets. Like the stadium, name and liscensing. With the Yankees, you also have YES network, and that boosts what the team is worth because it belongs to the Yankees name. You;ve also got to remember that it's really only worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. I think the Red Sox were sold a few years back for 686 million. They weren't worth that much. But that's what the previous owner was able to get for it. On the other hand, when the Montreal Expos were getting ready to fold their franchise, they tried to sell it first. And nobody wanted them. Major League Baseball ended up taking over ownership of the Expos for a payout of . . . nothing. Clearly a professional baseball team is worth more than $0 dollars, but nobody wanted them

Ok, so I'm aware of the basics of player valuation. I'm in a head to head fantasy point league...I've used some projections to determine how many fantasy points each player is projected to earn. Then I determined the useful fantasy points by subtracting the last player drafted at each position. But I still have a couple of questions about this strategy.\n\n1.) When subtracting for useful fantasy points, should I be subtracting the last player drafted at each position or the last player that will be a starter at that position? I'm in a 16 team league (23 round draft, 16 starters, 7 bench players per team). Intuitively, it would make sense for me to only subtract the fantasy points from the last player that will be a starter at each position, because only starters can earn points anyway. \n\n2.) Using this system, are you supposed to draft solely based on the useful points? Because to me it seems like this would not account for scarcity. If you were deciding between Carlos Beltran and Miguel Tejada, the numbers would indicate that Beltran is a better pick because he would earn more useful points. But the difference between Beltran and next OF is much less than the difference between Tejada and the next SS. So to me, it would seem that Tejada is actually more valuable because you stand to "lose" more by not taking him. So, is there a way to incorporate scarcity into the useful fantasy point number? My only thought was maybe by including the dropoff between the next player at that position.

If you represent the right players at 10% if you work a $50M deal for example.........do the math!!  Plus the fact that you would represent a good number of players (if you a good agent.)

Maybe because they are one of the top teams in the country.  Behind the Yankees, they are also the highest paid so they should be getting their moneys worth out of them. They also have been kicking butt in the pennant race the last few years.

Every team owner has the same options as Steinbrenner. They just choose not to exercise it. Steinbrenner nearly all profits and turns them back into the team. Allowing him to provide a higher payroll. He's also used other tools to market his team, making more profits to spend on players,...such as the "Yes" network. Every owner of a major league team can do the same thing. However, the choose to set up in a corporate office getting fat and happy off of their team's profits while whining about the Yankees. Also...keep in mind, the Yankees large payroll does help other teams. Steinbrenner pays a large luxury tax because of his high payroll. This luxury tax is dispersed among the other teams in the league.

The price guides list the most valuable cards by price.  A card is "valued" by how good the player is doing, and more importantly, how rare the card is.\n\nA card is defined as rare by how many copies were printed.  Numbered cards (e.g. only 1 printed, or only 99 printed, etc.) are more valuable because of the law of supply (and demand).\n\nOther valuable aspects:  Is the card autographed?  Autographed cards (signed by the ballplayer and authentized by the company as a real signature) or more valued than a "relic" card.  A relic means it might be a game-worn glove, or a piece of the player's bat from an actual game.  Again -- the company stands behind its claim that the relic is from an actual game, and was actually used by the player.\n\nOn the baseball packs, the odds of pulling valuable card (also called an "insert") is listed.   So, the greater the odds, say, one pack in 1,200 packs, makes the card more rare than, say, one pack in 3 packs.\n\nOne last thing -- the condition you keep your card in, once you open the pack, makes it valuable.   Obviously, a card that has been placed in a protective sleeve, or in an archival safe folder, is far more valuable to someone who might buy it from you, then if you accidentally bent a corner of the card.\n\nNow -- to answer your 2nd question:  What is a good baseball card?   Aside from the things mentioned above, it is a personal thing.   If you collect players from a specific nation, or region of the world, it might of no special worth to most collectors.   But, for you, it makes your collection a personal thing of satisfaction.\n\nNever base your estimation of an item solely by someone else's opinion.   You should enjoy your hobby.   That way, you won't be disappointed if you "fail" to get that elusive "valuable" card.

The reason why the Yankees has such a great team is because they have all the money.  mean all they have to do is go to another team ask for whoever and have alot of money almost all the teams need the money mean they will accept.\n                         GO CUBBIES!!!!!!!

Although there are several good price guides (online and in print), the one which dealers refer to, and eBay sellers, is the Baseball Beckett Guides.\n\nThey come out monthly, bi-monthly (Beckett Baseball Plus), and  every year (hobby stores and ANY major bookstore will sell them).\n\nAnother IMPORTANT aspect of the card's value is the condition it is in.   No creases, no scratches, not written on, unfaded, the image of the player is still centered (with time, the cardboard begins to deteriorate).\n\nValues range from Mint to Near Mint, and downward.  \n\nALSO -- a card is valued by how difficult it is to find this card.   For starters, a very old card is hard to find, simply because time has passed.   People lose their collections, etc.\n\nBut recent cards are valued by how limited the production was.   If a card was printed up 100,000 times by a major company, it won't be hard to re-purchase, thus it's not as valuable.   (The law of supply and demand).  However, if the card was only printed 10 times, or includes a relic or autograph that has been certified as authentic, that raises the value.\n\nANOTHER IMPORTANT FACTOR -- How is the player doing?  At one time, Frank Thomas and Ken Griffey, Jr. cards were the hottest on the market.   When Thomas began fading, his cards fell in value.  And, though Griffey has had injuries, he has kept his value up, due to his 500 HRs, and his star qualities.   He continues to hit big HRs, and people like the guy.\n\nREGIONAL CONSIDERATIONS -- A player like Jim Thome will sell very well in Cleveland and Chicago, where he's played.  And, the price will be higher there, than in other cities.  Cliff Floyd will do well as long as he's putting up big numbers in NY -- but unless you're a big Cliff Floyd fan, I'd sell the card while he's on fire.\n\nChipper Jones' rookie cards go for $4.   He's popular, but not as "hot" as he was 10 years ago.\n\nPlayers like Nolan Ryan will ALWAYS command high value.  The only difference between one Ryan card and another, is how old the card is.   His early cards are fetching big prices, but the cards which came out in the late 1980s and beyond that were mass produced, will not bring you much.\n\nFINALLY -- If the card has been autographed by the player, it is of greater value.  However, if the card was autographed at the ballpark, there's no way to prove it's not a forgery.   Which is why cards inserted in baseball packs and stamped with a Certificate of Authenticity, bring huge dollars.

For accurate valuation of any item, an issue date needs to be given. I assume this is the Danny Jackson from the Cincinatti Reds, who played in the 1980s and early 1990s, the same Danny Jackson who once won 23 games one year (I think he went 23-8?). So with that assumption, and without knowing the exact year of printing, I'll provide you with a price list, for every year, 1985-1994, of Topps' Danny Jackson cards. To find out which year your card is, take the last year of statistics, shown on the rear of the card, and add '1.' Thus, if the last year shown is '1987', the year of your card is '1988.' With that in mind, here is the moment you've been waiting for. Prices are in dollars:\n\n1985 Topps: .10\n1986 Topps: .10\n1987 Topps: .10\n1988 Topps: .05\n1989 Topps: .05\n1990 Topps: .05\n1991 Topps: .05\n1992 Topps: .05\n1993 Topps: .05\n1994 Topps: .05\n\nSo your card is worth somewhere between 5 and 10 cents. Unfortunately, demand for this card is at an all-time low, according to dealers and traders across the globe. Perhaps the best way to get rid of this car is to tape a dime to the front and place under the pillow (or soiled toboggan, if he is especially unfortunate) of any bum in the downtown of your nearest city. Danny Jackson would pat you on the head and show you his curveball if he knew you were using the value of one of his baseball cards to help another in need.

The Beckett Baseball Price Guide lists it between 40 cents to $1.\n\nWhy so low?   Topps issued tens of thousands of this card -- making it a common (accessible) card to purchase.\n\nIt's still a cool card!
