Is a card of a Hall of Famer more valuable when it's sold by itself or sold as part of a collection?

Question

A collection of cards from that particular year,for instance.

Answer 1

It would depend on the specific player and the condition of the card. General rules of thumb, older cards command higher prices, Yankees are always in demand, authenticated autographs are spectacular (particularly if the player is deceased). Full sets (older ones) tend to sell reasonably well, incomplete sets still have demand (some collectors like the challenge of set-building), and a graded card will draw more interest ($) than a "raw" card because the condition has a fixed description.

But you never really know until you try to sell it. Search completed sales on eBay for your card or others comparable (age, player pictured, neighboring years) for an idea of what prices are being fetched.
