Since when are card shows popular ......do it on EBAY or if you are patient....wait for a few years so the value increases and then GO TO EBAY or A Collector Store.

You can sell one or two on Ebay.  But to sell a bunch you would probably need a license from the NFL.

Beckett.com offers a free program where it will price any type of cards for you.  You could also check the yellow pages for a comic book/collectables store - often times they offer apprasial services.\n\nIt could be a far shot, but sometimes talking to other fans at baseball/basketball games can lead to finding out how much things are worth, I've been known to chat up people just to discover they're in the buisness of apprasial.\n\nI hope this helps.

Tuff Stuff is a great sorce of info when it comes to all worth of sports cards, PSA will grade your cards for a price but the higher the grade the more money they are worth and EBay is a great way to sell your cards

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.

I did the same thing and baseball cards are not worth anything unless someone is looking for # 1 card they would like to have and that's rare, only if they wish to have and its very hard to find that someone. But i do wish you luck. I had over 10,000 card including Willie Mays Rookie card i lost alot of money buying them all.\n\nMake sure you corners are in good shape for when you do find someone this helps alot i wish you the best on selling your cards. Get a beckett price book so you will not get ripped off.

Put it on eBay and set your price because dealers will not tell the truth if someone offers a bid its up to you to sell.\n\nThe cards only worth money to someone who wants it.

I don't know the price off hand.  But, you can find the current value of any baseball card on Beckett.com.  Also you might try getting a Beckett's Sports Cards Guide to help you price cards you have.  They sell them at sports memorabilia shops, some grocery stores, stores like Walgreen's or Wal-Mart, or a local trading card shop.  Look in your local phone book to find a memorabilia or trading card shop and pick one up if you have a lot of cards to price.  For the interest of just the one card I would just try the Beckett.com website.

Beckett Magazine's \n\nThey only worth something if someone wants them. \nOld card-collector for many years this is my knowledge.

It's really subjective to say.  The best thing you can do is just try pricing similar signed items at sports collectible stores in the Dallas area.  This gives you the high end of it's probable worth, as it's their local team.  Then next try comparing it to a similar item in another city that has a competing basketball team.  Simply calling some stores and telling them what you have should do fine.  Cards for the local team ALWAYS sell better and for 20-30% higher in the same city. . . I've never saw that be any different in other sports memorabilia, and I dealt in this stuff for about 6 years.  Good luck if you wish to sell a major item.  It's a difficult market these days.

If you want the most up to date prices, you should pickup a beckett magazine at your local cardshop. The beckett mags are separated into individual sports so you would need to buy two different mags if you wanted to lookup baseball and football cards.\n\nIf you have older cards that don't fluctuate in price as much, you should go to a bookstore. There is a hobby section that will have some price guides there.\n\nAlso I know that TOYS R US carries beckett magazines and price guides that you can check out.

More Specifically:\nGo to your countries Most Popular local Auction site (other than ebay) and see what's selling hottest.\n\nThen go to ebay and buy in bulk many of these items and resell them. \n\nStart with 1 or 3 items to see how they sell first.\nCreate a spreadsheet of Fav ebaySellers!!

Go to baseball card shops and see what they will give you.  Ebay is another good place to sell baseball cards.  Card show are good also.

some collectors do, i stopped when they made too many of the same player and now there are a million different companies. try your local flea market, yellow pages, and classifieds. ebay is always on hand. if there quality cards and in good condition you should have no problem selling them.
