BUYING BASEBALL CARDS
There are a lot of avenues where you can buy baseball cards from. You can get them in person at local hobby stores, auction sites like eBay and big retail stores in your town. However, do note that big retail stores usually sells packs or boxes of baseball cards of the most current players. Where you wish to buy your cards will be determine by the level of service you receive and the thrust you have for the sellers.
SELLING BASEBALL CARDS
Just like buying baseball cards, you are also provided with many avenues where you can sell off your collection. Most of the times, the highest value you can get out of your cards is to sell directly to another collector. Note that selling your cards to dealers will bring you much less because they need to resell them for a profit and also to cover the overheads. Again, my recommendation for selling your baseball cards is also on eBay. Reason is that it is easier for most people and because most buyers are collectors themselves, the price you get will be higher. Many collectors enjoy setting up shows and flee markets to sell their extras.
There are other sellers who would prefer to build websites to show their collections and sell them off. How would you choose your avenue will depend on the amount of time you want to spend in collecting and selling your collections. Whichever way you pick, we do recommend you to educate yourself with the value and prices of your collection. One of the best places to look at price guide is at Beckett.com.
HISTORY OF BASEBALL CARDS
We might never know which was the first baseball card produced. But the hobby of collecting these sport cards can be dated as far back as the second half of the 19th century, well over one hundred years ago. Goodwin & Co., the maker for Old Judge and Gypsy Queen cigarette brands is widely believed to be the first company to ever produce baseball cards and other sports trading cards. The first card was made small by today's standards, measuring 1-1/2 inches by 2-1/2 inches and printed on thick cardboard. These cards were issued from 1886 to 1890 and more than 2000 different baseball cards from this set have since been cataloged, not to mention the many cards made for other sports and non-sports.
Goodwin & Co. is successful in marketing baseball cards and other picture cards with their cigarettes lead other tobacco companies to issue card sets of their own. And by 1909 to 1911 the American Tobacco Company made the T-206 set with the famous Honus Wagner card. Many months later, many companies from other industries including candy, caramel, and gum makers used baseball cards as premiums to sell their products.
The Topps Company dominated the chewing gum/card industry for years until it lost an anti-monopoly lawsuit in 1980, and in 1981 Fleer and Donruss made major sets of baseball cards. Not long after that the baseball cards became more important than the gum and they became an industry of it's own. New companies like Score, Upper Deck and Pacific started making cards and the competition led to the high-tech sports cards we have today with the many different brands being made.
Sport Cards Fan Shop is an online store with hundreds of new and vintage sport cards including NASCAR, baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards at discounted price.
What would you offer me for my baseball cards?
I have a good bit of cards that I collected from the mid-80s to around 1992. The super majority of my cards fall within that time period. I'd like to sell everything. Some of the better cards (maybe pre-steroids) include 87' Donruss Barry Bonds, 85 Fleer Clemens, 89 Upper Deck Griffey Jr., I compiled several sets on my own including 89 Upper Deck, 91 Leaf. I got alot a good cards. Where did the market go?
griffey jr. and barry bonds are worth a good amount of money and so is clemens. in total i would probaly give you an estimate about 500 bucks for all of those. but its too bad i'm broke
