Are Vintage Baseball Card Losing Value?

Question

i sold a lot of about 50 vintage commons and the best price i got was about 10$ and no seems to ever want them if i try to sell them online but just 2 years ago i sold a lot of commons for about 300$ and they were about the same value does anyone have some imput

Answer 1

High grade, professionally graded vintage cards continue to rise in value.  Commons, too, because certain commons are in very short supply in high grade for various reasons.  Condition is the most important factor, and in today's market, lower condition commons may not have the buyer interest that they once did.  I can't say for certain because I don't track sales prices of ungraded commons.  

Ungraded common cards will bring in a range of 5 to 25% of 'book' value in near mint, depending on condition.  eBay has changed a lot.  Cards that you could once find only by going to shows and paying whatever the seller demanded, if you really wanted something, are now all over the place.  This is more so today than even just two years ago.
