| How To Get The Most For Your Baseball Cards |
| Selling baseball cards can be easy if you understand what your options are. The biggest factor that will degrade your collection is you and time. If you are just trying to get rid of your collection quickly, you need to go to a local baseball card dealer and basically get pennies for your dollars. This can be a quick process and most card dealers will be able to pay you on the spot. This method is if you have no time to waste. If time is not a factor in your collection sale, than you are in better standing and you could get a better value on your cards. The one thing you must do first is pull out all your money cards. Every collection has these cards. Put these on the side because you need to sell these seperately. Usually money cards are anything worth over $10 dollars a card. Selling individual cards are easier to sell if the worth is over this price. Will you get this? Probably not. I am trying to be honest with you. Just because the baseball cards shop can sell it for ten bucks doesn't mean you can expect those prices. This is just a starting point. Now here we go. Get your collection in order. List your whole collection for you to fall back to. Make sure you list every single card you plan on selling. You will need to be able to easily find each and every card in a timely manner. If someone wants to buy a single card from your collection, you will need to be able to go to your cards and find it in a timely manner. I personally put all my cards in order by brand, year and card number. The reason for this is there are some potential buyers that will want to know the condition of a single card. If you are spending all day just trying to find that one card, it will not be worth your time and effort to find it. If you already have a easy collection system, you will be able to go straight to it and send your potential customer an answer. So get your collection in order before you sell them. Believe me, you may spend a lot of time initially but once the orders come in from customers wanting to buy your cards, you will be able to find each and every card in seconds. Be realistic about your collection you are trying to sell. If you have a collection that you want to sell is worth say $1000 dollars, you will need to understand that you will be shooting for a quarter of that. If you can get 25-50% for it on the street for the whole thing take it. Now I am not saying you cannot get $1000 dollars for your collection or even more. I have sold cards online for years and understand that in the greater scheme of things, this is what is made once I pay the bills like ebay fees and so forth. Card shops can sell baseball cards for prices close to the high side because they have customers that are willing to pay it because they have a store with customers. Once they pay there bills, they end up getting close to what you would have gotten. Understanding this will help you stay in your happy place if you get less. There are several factors that are out of your control that will set the price for your cards. An example I can give you is a player breaks into the major leagues and ends up being rookie of the year. We know that there will be a large demand for this players rookie cards. Selling your cards during this time means you will at least get paid close to the high value for these cards. Should you sell? This is your choice. Maybe it will get higher. Maybe it will drop. The one tip I can give you is established players that have been in the major leagues for several years have cards that go up and down if they have great or horrible years. When there are buzzes about established players, these are good times to deal baseball cards. If you know a player has had a so so career and they are no longer playing, you can start unloading those cards if you can. Now selling most of your common cards can be a little tricky and kind of hard to do. This is not impossible though. Many collectors try to fill a set and are missing only common cheap cards. This is where you come in. If you have many commons of a certain set, try listing them on an auction like ebay. The trick though is the way you sell them. Lets say each common card is worth 10 cents each and you have 1000 of them. You can sell them to customers to pick 25 cards from your 1000 common card list and sell them for 2.50 with free shipping or something. I have sold many common cards with this method. You are able to get rid of penny cards and you provide a service to the buyer because he wants those cards which he was able to pick 25 cards from your list of 1000 cards. For your star cards, many collectors buy only cards for a certain player. The better star cards sell really well in lots and even individually depending on what card it is. I personally am able to sell star cards in lots. I always try to make sure I am selling different cards of an individual player. I will not sell 10 of the same card of one player. This defeats the purpose on what most collectors are trying to do. These player collectors are trying to get every different card they can of one individual player. For your money cards like autograph cards and game used cards, selling your cards on auction sites will pretty much give you what the market will give you. The main advice I can give you about these cards are making sure your listing is properly written and not incomplete. A properly written listing can drive different type of collectors to your one card. Let me explain. If you have a Albert Pujols rookie card from the 2001 Upper Deck set, you have an opportunity to sell to all these different type of collectors. You will have a rookie card collector, a set builder, a Albert Pujols fan, a St. Louis Cardinals fan all battling for this card and driving the price up. Now if you wrote up your listing, don't just write Albert Pujols card. You need to list the year, the set, the card number, the player, the team, the organization ie.mlb, the city of the player and every little blurb you can write about this card. This will help different collectors find your card and at the same time have all the collectors battling for the card. I have personally done searches on auction sites and came upon a poorly written listing that only had me visit a site and I have picked up a $80 dollar Albert Pujols rookie card for only a couple of dollars a couple of years ago. So help yourself with your collection by just doing your homework with arranging your collection and marketing your cards properly. This will help you attain your goal of trying to get the most for your collection. If you need pricing on unknown unlisted sets or cards, try our baseball cards service. It is easy to start.
