Anyone know of anyone or anywhere I can bring baseball cards to get appraised and possibly sell?

 

There's enough of them they would have to stay to get appraised, and I dont want any walking away..

There is a place in Avenel NJ called Rookies and Stars, it's been there forever.. I've never been inside nor do I collect cards . But maybe it's worth checking it out.

I have a friend who has a good friend who owns a store, if you want his info let me know.

Was thinking the same thing earlier. If you find anywhere lmk I got tons of baseball cards

One place by me in hillsborough and another in manville.

Interested in info as well.

Zeppelin Hobbies in Wayne, NJ, rt 23 north. My cousin went to them when his house flooded and the cards got damaged. Im not sure when he wanted to charge, but my cousin didn't think it was worth it with the cards he had.

 

He wanted them appraised for the flood insurance.

It all depends on what era the cards are from, and who's on them. If they're from the late 70's to now, chances are they're not worth the paper they're printed on, unless they're a mint rookie of someone important.

 

An easy way to establish a baseline is to take some that you think are valuable and search around ebay for completed auctions. If they're older cards that have some value, you might want to consider joining PSA to have them graded.

I own a Pawn Shop and from my experience in trying to sell baseball cards that I bought over the years, its a pretty tough market right now to sell them for what they are really worth. I stopped buying baseball cards a few yrs ago unless its something rare. A overall appraisal is not out of the question just to get an idea of what you have. But in general alot of cards are now worth much less than they were say 6-10 yrs ago. For instance a card could be worth $500 book value you would be lucky to get half of that selling it privately. As with all sports memorabilia its worth what someone is willing to pay for it. And as StriderTB said PSA graded cards will always fetch more money than a non graded card, so you may have some worth getting graded.

Very true indeed, I have several cards that are graded like a Joe Montana rookie which is worth $125 but graded it's worth a whopping $3350. I'm going with this price on a PSA price guide I have from 2008. On ebay I see the same card graded 10 gem mint going for $1254 as of today, but like stated above the card is only worth what people will pay out for it.

 

To look up the cards yourself you can check this site:

Do some research but I'd say hold onto them unless you're holding out on us with a mint Honus Wagner. I was interested undoing this too as I have a TON of cards. Problem is everything I have are from the 70's and on. Like someone said earlier, they're barely worth anything. Problem was the card market became inundated with different card sets that just devalued everything. Eg. Fleer, Fleer Ultra, Fleer Gold, Fleer on 20's. Know what I mean?
