How to Determine the Value of Your Old Sports Card Collection and What to Do with It

If you've stumbled upon an old box of sports cards in your attic, you might be wondering if they're worth anything. Here's how to tell and what to do if they are:

Assessing Value:

  • Rarity: Cards limited in production are more valuable.
  • Condition: Well-preserved cards with sharp corners and no creases command higher prices.
  • Player: Cards featuring iconic or Hall of Fame players are sought after.
  • Age: Vintage cards, especially those from the early 1900s, tend to be worth more.

What to Do if Valuable:

  • Get an appraisal: A professional appraiser can provide an official valuation.
  • Sell to a collector: Sports card collectors may offer a fair price for individual cards or your entire collection.
  • Sell on an auction site: Sites like eBay and Heritage Auctions allow you to reach collectors worldwide.
  • Consider holding onto it: If your collection has sentimental value, you may want to keep it.
  • Donate it: Sports cards can be donated to charities or schools.
