Ok, so I have like 2-3 shoe boxes FULL of baseball cards?

Question

some of them are autoed. some arnt, my brother gave them to me when he moved out...(about 13-14 yrs. ago) im 14....so, do you think I should keep them longer to see if mabey they would be worth more, or go ahead and get rid of them? I mean, I LOVE looking at them, but I dont do anything with them...I dont know who all I have, BUT I do have ALOT....so what do you think I should do with them?

Answer 1

keep them.

do not be an a*****e and throw them out or sell them because one day your bro mingt coem back lookin for them and keeping them shows a stronger relationship. also keeping htem will increse value. just like the anteques road show suggests. make hte colection bigger and the price does go up.

Answer 2

I would hold on to them for as long as you can stand. The minute you get rid of them, you know you'll have sold a card that becomes worth thousands. It's how fate works.

Answer 3

If you decide to sell them, you should definitely research the cards, especially the autographed ones. Once you do this, you'll have a much better view of their actual value.

Answer 4

yes..keep them

Answer 5

Keep them. Even if they are regular cards, they will be worth a lot in a few decades.

Answer 6

Keep 'em a few more years, maybe get the autographed ones appraised.  There is a book that has the pricing guide for baseball cards called "Beckett's."  I'd recommend purchasing the lastest version of that also.

Answer 7

just keep them in ur closet, two shoe boxes aint so much especiailly the autog- ones. i bet they will be worth more in the future. or if u don't want to, go to some body who owns a card shop or a pofessional and ask how much r ur cards worth and if they could be worth more in the future. if u want sell them, u can sell it to the person who told u how much the cards r worth probly, isince they no so much bout ur cards or on ebay

Answer 8

I'd keep them. I have all kinds of sports cards, from the 60's through the 90's. Some are worth money, most aren't. Plus, if you keep them, when you're older you can give them to your grand kids. Kids would love something so old- a WOW factor.

Answer 9

Whenever in doubt of the pricing, test the EBAY market. People bid, and those bids grow and grow.

Answer 10

If the cards are autographed and old, than they could be worth some cash.  I would check ebay.

Answer 11

Hold on to them.

If they make you happy.

Try to find the value of the cards.

Sell them if its worth wild.

Answer 12

Cards do not always rise in valuue, sometimes tey actually decline.  There may be a spike in the value of a card if something significant happens to the player, either career wise or in his life.  When he was elected to the hall of fame the value of the card would rise dramatically and the retreat a little bit before leveling off.  Death raises values. On the other hand, If he were arrested and went to jail it could have a negative value.

I imagine a young lady of your age is thinking about going to college soon.  If there is any value in these cards, and the law of large numbers theorizes that it is so, selling part of the collection could go a long way to providing for that.  Beware of someone making a blanket offer to "take them off your hands."  He only has his best interest in heart and the cards will be worth more if they are individually considered.  

Good luck with this endeavor.

Answer 13

I would keep them if possible they go up in value with age but also do not let a dealer or anyone trade or try to buy them from you because some are worth alot of money so if i was you at age 14 i would research their worth by card brand name and the player names on here or i would order a baseball becket which is a book that gives you price list on them at your age you will be growing up and wanting a car and things like that maybe college or high school things etc so i would just learn about them look for prices on them since some is worth 1000's of dollars a card if you have the right ones the price range varies with the cards condition and type but each card has it's own value and also look at them to see if you have the full yr sets of them they do come in sets and if you have the entire set it is worth alot also do not just get rid of them all for one price or trade them until you know what you have and how much you have in money in them you might get shocked at what you do have sweetie please hang on to them and find out how much each one is worth then when you get old enough to drive or go to college then decide if you want to sell them but only for top dollar not for any thing less i have my son's he collected for yrs and he is 30  now and i have no idea the value on them right now but i do know he has 2 that is worth $2,000 a piece so don't lose them. Ebay is so huge there isn't as good of a price on anything there and don't ask a dealer at a baseball store they will try to cheat you out of them....look on here of baseball card collectors and look at their want lists if you decide to sell them don't sell them to just who offers you the first money get others to also price them or make offers.

Answer 14

You should send them to me for free by USPS fast shipping or Sell them on Ebay if you have buyers..

Answer 15

I would keep them & buy a beckett price guide to give you an idea what they are worth but if you sell them, sell them to a collector, not a baseball card dealer, cause you will get paid more from a collector than from a dealer & good luck

Answer 16

EBAY! or hold and wait till oyur older and then EBAY or craigslist.org

edit** If i was you id wait, theyll be a lot more then, good luck!
