Sports Cards ??

[Small Block]

I don't collect them(baseball,basket ball,football)but i am a sucker for what i think may be a bargain. I have thousands in the basement and Friday i went to a garage/yard sale and the guy had a BUNCH for sale all lined up nice and neat in sets in 4 different boxes. 10,000 + cards to give you an idea. I got em all for $20. At wally world today i picked up a Beckets magazine but it don't go back as far as my cards do. How do i find out the value of these cards. At only a penny a card that would be $100. Some i'm sure are worth well more than that. Any ideas on how to determine the worth of older cards? I'm talking back in the 80's and further back. Thanks for the help.

I collect mainly early 70's football cards . Online you probably could go to Beckett.com or you might be able to find a Beckett or other sports card colecting magazne there. Another option would be to send them to me...HEHE. Send me a pm of some of your better cards ,or star players,with pics is best.

I have about 125,000 sportcards, baseball, football, basketball, hockey, and some Nascar. I used to sell at card shows, but the market got soft when ebay got big. Too easy to buy cheap on there. Dan had good advise about Beckett.com, and they also sell an edition for vintage cards, but they're only single sport. You can get an idea of what the market is for a card by checking ebay. Commons are cheap, so I would pick off the cream, and dump the rest off as smaller lots. There are a lot of set builders out there looking for 1970's and older stuff, so keep that in mind when putting your lots together. Try to keep like cards (same year&brand) together when you lot them up. You should have no problem turning a profit at what you paid, even if they are all commons. Tim
