I have a friend that has 3 boxes of baseball cards from when he was a kid. He wants to sell them ... what needs to be his first step?

I offered him $10 and he said no ... :lol:

Ebay? Craigslist?

When was he a kid?
 
Some in his collection are about 20 years old. His uncle also gave him cards from when his uncle was a kid - so 40-ish maybe.

do his homework to find the value of each card. if he has real collectors, items, he should know it. so he will make as much money as he can.
 
I am gonna tell him I asked an expert and the expert said they were worthless :giggle:


........ then offer him $20

(just kidding)
 
He also has a never opened box (still has clear plastic over the box) of Fleer Premiere Edition Football 1990 Player Photo Cards. 36 count

A Topps Jim Rice (Red Sox) card - card published 1988

Too many to look through right now
 
1990 cards aren't worth much. I remember when a 1990 Leaf Frank Thomas was booked at $70. Yes, for one card!!! And now????

Where does he need to start? Is there a price guide somewhere?
 
He has a Joe Gordon card

Roger Hornsby ... I am saying all this like it means something but I haven't even got a clue. (they are reprints from 1993)

Ebay is not really a good outlet for Baseball cards. Unless he has rare cards. Also the rare or higher valued cards he would have to get them rated for condition.





It would. Be a good idea to find baseball card. Shop and ask them to look at the cards to give him an idea of value

I remember that my sicko ex sold his valuable baseball cards for its total worth $15,000 on eBay. He used some of it's budget to fly to Romania to marry this deaf girl. Somehow happened not long after they got married, the rest of his earned investment was wiped out by the time they got annulled. Lol. Karma is a bitch.
 
I suggest he check the values of those cards from a baseball card beckett. It will give him a better idea of what they're worth.
 
Ok I told him he needed to get a price guide .... He sighed. He has three big plastic storage bins full of baseball cards.

I will probably take him to a baseball card shop next week.
 
YO, tell THAT KID, im gonna offer him $100!! straight up. so that kid can buy many video games that what he wants!
