a common card in the 25-50 cent range if in excellent shape, varies by rating book, and never forget you would still have to find someone who will pay that amt....now, my Bob Gibson Rookie card and my Mickey Mantle are worth in the hundreds...if excellent...which they ain't (rats).

Asking people not to post here if they know nothing is like sprinkling sugar around your picnic blanket to drive away ants.
Dick Kryhoski
New York Yankees 1949
Detroit Tigers 1950-51
St. Louis Browns 1952-53
Baltimore Orioles 1954
Kansas City Athletics 1955
Note that the Browns and the Orioles are the same franchise, one of the several relocations of the 1950s.
"Undistinguished" pretty well nails his career. Decent role player with a little power.
There are not a lot of cards of Kryhoski, and you give little specifics as to which one you have. If it lists him with the Browns, it's probably from 1952 to 54. Most cards from those years are Topps or Bowman, but there are a few regional or team releases as well. There are also reprints of the Topps 1952 and 1954 sets, which were released in 1983 and 1994 respectively. The year is most easily identified (not always perfect, but this usually works) by adding 1 to the last year of stats listed on the card back. For the reprints, look for the small-type copyright notice somewhere on the back. (If you see "TGC", that's Topps Gum Company.) The specific card number would help as well.
Condition plays a big role in valuation. If your card is in Near Mint or Mint condition, consider having it professionally graded and slabbed to preserve it. (There are real grading scales for assessing condition. It's not merely a matter of opinion.) Particularly consider this if you have a 1952 Topps or 1953 Bowman Color.
But you wanna see the munny. Realize that these are merchant market figures for top-condition cards -- what one might expect to pay from a dealer, and NOT what you might recapture by selling to a dealer (certainly not) or on eBay (might, but probably not). Getting it graded and slabbed, however, puts a known quantity (the grade is a score number) on the quality of the card and gives buyers confidence in what they're getting, and so they tend to be more willing to spend bigger. Older cards from the 1950s get set-builders excited, and auctions are never more fun (for the seller) when there is two or more bidders slugging it out. For a rather common player card like Kryhoski, a card of whom might not come up to auction very often (by comparison, it's easy to find a Mantle), selling it could be pleasingly lucrative.
Anyway. Specific cards and "book" values.
1952 Bowman #133 - $15.00
1952 Topps #149 - $40.00
1953 Bowman Color #127 - $80.00
1954 Bowman #117 - $12.00
1954 Topps #150 - 15.00
1983 Topps Reprint (1952) #149 - $0.50
1994 Topps Archives (1954 reprint) #150 - $0.15
Based upon the specific card and the condition thereof, actual value can be all over the place, as is seen.
ps. A search of current and completed sales on eBay for 1950s Kryhoski cards shows that they tend to sell in the $1-6 range, with some graded examples going for $30+.

Dick Kryhoski wasn't anyone special in the majors, but if that card's in good shape, it's worth something--maybe a lot. Check out the latest issue of Beckett's Baseball Card Monthly to know for sure. . . .

The big card is 1954 Orioles Esskay #20 (never heard of it) for $600.00. All of his other cards are under $100.00. Ebay is the place for it! Remember - condition is everything!
Good Luck!

Sure. They will lose value. So much doubt hangs around this guy as well as the fact that no one likes him. His reputation will suffer over the years as will his cards.
