anthony Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 My dad was cleaning out the garage and found a big box of cards I collected during the early 1980s. I have no idea what is in there. I guess I gotta look and see if I am sitting on a goldmine. Is there any easy (say, online) way of assessing value? or do I have to get a book? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stooka Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Is there any easy (say, online) way of assessing value? or do I have to get a book? E-bay completed listings is a good way to see what people have actually payed for an item. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ZenLunatic Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Beckett! I have a lot of old issues of these too. Yeah most people base their prices on Beckett as "Book Value". Pretty much the standard in baseball ball card pricing.I have the latest issue so if anyone feels they have something special, I can look up the official book value. Usually ebay prices reflect the Beckett guide. A better way to get a going street price is completed items on ebay like someone else mentioned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Did any of you mail cards to players to be signed? Most veterans wouldn't mess with it, so the trick was finding young players with potential. My best autograph score through this method was Gary Sheffield on his 89 Topps rookie, wearing a Brewers uni and braces. I mailed out a few. I got fake autographs of Isiah Thomas (8x10 black and white photo) and Joe Dumars (index card) However, I did receive my card signed in silver sharpie back from David Robinson on this card Quote Link to post Share on other sites
