The best sources are those who have nothing to gain from you.\n\nI'd begin with the Beckett Price Guides -- they come out every month as well as a Beckett Baseball Plus and Beckett Football Plus, which is larger, (has more cards).   The Plus comes out every two months.\n\nBeckett also has an online service.   There's a fee, but you can do an inventory on your cards.   That's something to consider if you have a LOT.\n\nWhich of the cards is most wanted depends on how hot the player is today.   Mark McGwire today, is not as "wanted" as the year he broke Roger Maris' record.\n\nRyan Leaf was most wanted when he was drafted, and well, you know what he's worth today!\n\nOne final thing -- don't be so quick to sell your cards.  If you're new at this, you might get taken advantage of by an opportunistic dealer.   Or, you might price the card too low, or sell it before the athlete peaks.\n\nAnd, if you're like most collectors, you didn't start buying cards for the money.   They have sentimental value, and believe me, as the years go by, those rare cards will increase in value.

It depends on which ones they are and what year. Are these basketball cards? A '98 Jordan is worth about $5.00. I would guess off hand that what you have is worth between $1.00 and $15.00. \n\nA collectable is worth what someone is willing to give you for it.

ebay is the best source for finding out pretty much what anything collectible is worth.  It shows what the market will bear.

Yes, I do.  I would recommend the following company to buy any and all trading cards complete sets or single cards.  The Stricly Mint Card Company is one of the best you will ever find.  They can be reached at - www.smcci.com

Go to ebay or check http://auctions.yahoo.com/ for the worth of specific cards.  Also go to your local library and they should have an updated book there with the current card prices.  Beware however, buyers will not always pay the full price for your cards.  Expect to get a little less.  Hope this helps!

I have to admit to not knowing a lot about baseball cards but the best way to find out how much things are worth is to find how much others are selling for.  Check froogle for your exact card, and possibly ebay as well.\n\n(I did a rough search and came up with a lot of different nolan ryan cards for sale from $2.oo to $450 ! http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=nolan+ryan+baseball+card&btnG=Search  )

Couldn't tell you, but check out this website all about collectors cards.\nhttp://www.collectornetwork.com/cat/category_id=5/

i used to be big into collecting baseball cards, the 1988 topps set was produced in HUGE quantities which means even the star cards are worth only a small amount. i don't have a beckett price guide handy, but my educated guess would be around 35 cents.

Look them up on eBay. This shows you what actual real people are willing to pay for them. Any card magazines or their websites (Beckett for example) just tell you what they "think" they are worth. Keeping in mind that they accept advertising dollars from the very same companies whose cards they are pricing.

Do an advanced search on eBay for completed items.\n\neBay is a good indicator of the current value of most items.

I have about 5 of those complete sets. Knowing that they are only worth about $10. for the complete set, I would say that the card is probably worth about 50 cents.
