Any Baseball Card Collectors Here?
Hey Guys
I was wondering if any of you collect Baseball Cards and if so can you tell me a good online price guide? Last night I bought an entire collection from an elderly friend of mine she started collecting in 1969 and bought her last card in 1996. I know absolutely nothing about this subject and could quite possibly have a cards worth thousands and would not know it from plain trash.
This collection includes 47 4 inch Ring Binders with 50 pages each and 9 cards to each page. There is 24 Box Sets that have never been opened and also 40 card board boxes with 2 rows of 100 cards in each row.
The Non Card Items include 2 small display cases with 1 each Ball and Bat in them. Both the Ball and Bats are autographed by the entire teams of the 1976 Cardinals and Reds. I also acquired a Box of Wheaties Cereal unopened that has Pete Rose on the front and it was also autographed by him after the box was issued.
I just hope that I have not wasted $500.00 on junk, I have just started looking through the binders but I do not know what I am supposed to be looking for. I will probably just post all of them on Ebay and see if I can at least make my investment back. Any and all advice is welcomed and appreciated.

Long time card and sports memorabilia collector here as well. Yepper, Beckett is the source. Just go to the local grocery store and pick up a copy for $5. I've found their prices are probably 25% - 50% higher than the true market at shows, etc. Obviously, condition is critical but since the cards are in binders, that's a good sign. Graded cards by PSA drive big bucks for 9s and 10s (pretty much perfect cards). The other thing that's impressive of your new collection is the years involved. 1969 - early80's were good years with lots of pretty valuable cards. Generally, the mid-80's to current are pretty worthless since the production of cards was so high. Pete Rose has been signing everything under the sun to raise $ so the value of his autograph stuff has dropped like a rock over the past 5 years or so. Overall, I would say $500 still sounds like a great deal, once again depending on the specific cards and condition.
