collecting baseball cards
lyong222 asked:


I have a collection of baseball and football cards. I’m looking for info like:
1. what % of book value could I expect to get from a collector?
2. from someone wanting to re-sell?
3. Any good price guides online that give you the same data as, say, Beckett?

The collection I have is mainly Atlanta Brave and Dallas Cowboy cards from the 60’s to the mid 90’s, some fulls sets, some partial sets, single cards, misc.

Since all cards, I assume, came from a pack, there is no such thing as an uncirculated card like there is with coins?
So is mint the top grade? followed by excellent, very good, good, average, fair, poor, and then maybe trash?

Ive collected some baseball cards from 1987-1993. Id say I have 700 cards from Topps, Donruss, Fleer, Upper Deck, etc.etc.14 years later I find out these are basically completely worthless. I checked all the price guides and looked for rookie cards and everything. I’m disappointed and want to know whats the best way of getting rid of these?

Should I sell them? If so where and how or should I trash or donate them?Thanks
