That's their current value but no it, doesn't mean you're gonna get it if you put it up for auction. Lots of factors at play. Like you said, you need people who want it. Get some bidding wards going. Cards don't normally sell for their true worth unless they are graded (meaning people know the true condition). I would do that if it wasn't so damn expensive. Right now if you're bidding on eBay, you can't really tell the true the condition of ungraded cards since people scan cards with a plastic case on them.

and, if you went to a card shop then you definitely won't get fair value. They'd rip you off like Pawn Stars.

They are worth what people will pay for them, as the old saying goes. I'll be curious to see how much your cards end up going for. eBay is a pretty universal marketplace, so THAT will be the definitive guide, not Beckett!

you are correct. touched on that in the previous post before I saw your post.

Too bad I didn't live in the USA to get my cards graded.

I'll have to look into it when I get home. Apparently they're from the packs of gum they sold in the 70s. I think this was a 1969-70 O'Pee Chee

I have a ton of old cards. I've got a Roger Maris and a Tommy John rookie (ever hear of Tommy John surgery?). I also have a bunch of cards from the 90s that are basically worth nothing. Maybe someday the value will climb back up.

The 90's was ridiculous with all their gimmicks and hype. Wish I had sold high.

Me too. I don't have a clue what the value would be on this stuff. I just know that it isn't very high.

Hey, you've got bids on all your cards already, and plenty of people watching. That's the important thing. These auctions always take off in the last few minutes.

Only thing I'm concerned with is that the auctions end at midnight or later on a weekday. Bad timing on my part

well, can't say that I am happy, but I'll guess I'll take it. $192 for the four cards.

bad timing, lessons learned. Good thing I removed the one "valued" at $300 though.
