Sell Baseball Card
Unless you have a particularly grand collection, there’s really only two ways of doing this. Neither one is particularly glamorous, but it will get those cards sold. The first option is just to go down to the local hobby or card shop and talk to the owner. If the store has a good selection of cards, then either the owner or somebody that works there is a serious collector, and is surely looking to get more. If not, those kinds of stores are generally open to buying rare collectables from customers, and will probably make a deal with you. The other way is to simply put your collection up for sale at an online store like Amazon.com or eBay, and hope that somebody decides to buy it. If your collection is good and has a lot of rare cards, you could easily make several times their worth in the bidding war. A single, extremely rare card was recently sold on eBay for 2.3 million dollars, several times it’s appraised worth.

Sellers are everywhere. Somebody is always trying to sell cards to somebody else for far more than they’re worth. The trick is to think like the buyer. The kind of person that will drop a large amount of money on baseball cards is likely going to be the kind of person that knows exactly how much each card is worth to the nearest cent. If you expect to make a good sell, you have to anticipate this. Find the price guides and look up all your cards. If you find that you have something very rare and special, send it off to be appraised, if you can afford it. When all that’s done, you add up the value of all your cards, and you put them up for sale at 50-75% of that price. If the buyers think they’re getting a good deal, they’ll pounce, and the bidding war will begin.
Selling Baseball Card Sets
If you’re selling online, unless you have a very rare card, this is almost always a better opportunity than trying to sell individual cards. People won’t pay for a single card that’s not even worth as much as the cost to ship it, but they’ll gladly pay for an entire box full of them. It’s also far less time-consuming to sell it all as a lump amount then as individual pieces. If you’re selling face-to-face, it’s better to let the buyer pick and choose which cards he wants.
