Thanks!!! Have a good one.

Answer 1

Get yourself a book called "beckett" it is a magazine that has information on prices of cards. Be very careful going to a dealer, even a mom and pop they (some of them) will try to get a better price for them. I had some old cards and did not know about the beckett mag, needless to say I did at one time own a Nolan Ryan rookie card.

It will at least give you a rough idea of what you have in $$ value.

Answer 2

first, you might think dealers in cards, i wouldnt suggest local mom n pop dealers. You can get issues of becketts, or other price guides and do research yourself, they also have online price guides. There isnt a good market for them right now, unless its an exceptional card. Cards have to be near mint to be worth anything. (edges especially)   If you need any help email me, I am not a dealer I collect them as a hobby. I wouldnt suggest mom n pop dealers because if you dont know what you have they try and get over on you.

Answer 4

Beckett is your best answer PM is wrong if you have the right card the

market is great. Just be sure to you a Beckett most dealers are selling a little under Beckett but some of the oldies are making a lot of money.  Hope you have one of those. I collect/sale/trade cards I have a few that are worth over 100 dollars
