How Do You Determine Old Baseball Card Values?
Some people collect baseball cards for the fun of it. But others participate in the hobby as a way of making money. Their hope is to find those baseball cards in packs or through trades that are worth a lot of money. Pricing baseball cards is not an exact science. It is based on what the market will pay for a card at any time, similar to how stocks are priced on the stock market. There are methods for a collector to find out how much his older baseball cards are worth, through a variety of resources. Determine the year and company that produced your baseball card. Older baseball cards were produced the year after the season the player played. Look at the last season on the player’s stats that he played on the back of the card and add one year. That is the year of the baseball card. At the bottom of the card on the back, there will be the name of the company that produced it. Obtain a copy of the Beckett baseball guide.
