Collecting Baseball Cards



Welcome To Rare Antiques Collectibles and Memorabilia.


Baseball cards
aficionados don't even buy baseball cards that come with bubble gum anymore. And those were innocent times, when buying baseball cards reflected a love for the sport.

Today, buying, selling and trading baseball cards are a big business and i mean huge.

To make your collection more profitable someday, you can focus solely on a single basic theme. Like you might just want to collect rookie cards or serially numbered cards, memorabilia cards, the basic sets, graded baseball cards, star cards or vintage baseball cards etc.

There are a lot of factors that affect the cards' book value such as the player's popularity, the condition of the card (gone are the days of putting them in the spoke of your bike wheels, shoeboxes or binding the baseball cards with rubber band).

Buy baseball cards from manufacturers which are licensed by the leagues. This would assure authenticity. There are indicators such as stickers and holograms to avoid counterfeiting.

Baseball Card Price Guides

Part of the fun and thrill of collecting baseball cards is to flip pages of price guides and check how much your baseball cards worth. The popular ones are the monthly and plus guides from Beckett, Tuffstuff Magazine or go to their respective official websites. Check out as well cardprices.com, vintagecardprices.com and sportslizard.com Don't forget ebay and yahoo auction sites.

Some people have made a living out of buying hundreds of thousands of cards in complete sets and then "breaking out" the players that might be famous someday.

You just have to have the knack, the sixth sense or whatever you might want to call it, to identify or intelligently guess which players at the start of their careers will be future hall of famers. And try to accumulate hundreds of those cards now and hold them until they appreciate.

A decent ROI nothwithstanding, the other reason people collect baseball cards is that they bring them back to a time when they had no worries and when they thought there was no reason why they couldn't be in the big leagues. When they hold those cards in their hands, they reunite them with a part of themselves. How they felt about the players.

I know they are only little cardboard pictures, but they're mighty tangible reminders of every boys' dreams of heroism.
