Where's the best place to sell old Baseball cards?

Question

I just inherited a bunch of quasi-old baseball cards, late 80's early 90's... I wasn't going to sell them all just a few, but I wasn't sure how to find out there worth, or where the best place to sell baseball cards is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

eBay is a good place to sell your cards but only if you have some mint condition, very special cards to sell, OR you are selling all your cards in one lot. A Roger Clemens rookie card is a good eBay item, a Joakim Soria rookie card is not.

A sports memorabilia store might be a good place to try and unload some cards. The guys there will know the good from the bad and also will be likely to speculate on what players cards might be worth buying today to have value later. But the best thing about going in to a shop would be that they could give you a range of what the collection as a whole might be worth and also point out a few potential valuable cards. Also, some stores will sell your cards on consignment.

I've sold boatloads of cards in every way you could imagine. I have found that a very good way to sell them is on Craigslist. Put up an ad that you are selling your cards and invite people to come have a look. It's best if you invite them to a garage sale or something like that so you don;t have a string of strangers in your home. Price your valuable ones individually. On the others, set the price at 3 for $2.00 or 5 for $3.00, something like that, what every encourages people to buy more cards. Offer special deals if some one buys a whole team or every card of a particular player.

In the end, you will likely have extras. I donated a bunch to an art school in my city. About a year later I was invited to a art exhibit and saw that a student had used them (and many many others) to make an enormous mosiac of his family potrait out of baseball cards. It was very cool.

Good luck!!

Answer 2

Unfortunately, the 1988-93 window was marked with huge overproduction of most card sets. There's a few things in there that hold collector interest, but most of it is good only for donating, bookmarking, or firestarting.
