One of the most common questions I receive is: how much are my baseball cards worth?
The fact is, baseball card values can depend on many different factors...
So how do you put a price on them?
This guide covers the most common things to consider when pricing your cards.
Let's jump right in!
When I was a kid, I never really got a chance to see a 1972 Topps Roger Staubach rookie card let alone own one.
It just wasn’t on my radar as a collector.
I was more into baseball cards and the few football cards that I did collect were those of my heroes like Joe Montana, Dan Marino and Jerry Rice.
As I’ve gotten older, though, my appreciation for vintage football cards has really soared.
And Staubach’s rookie card is one that I hold in high esteem. He is nothing short of a football legend and knew how to win.
These days, his rookie card is extremely popular and has grown to be one of the most valuable football cards in the hobby.
And in this guide, I go over the key things you should know before you buy.
The most valuable basketball cards in the hobby can easily fetch upper five and six figure price levels.
Collectors simply go crazy over some of these cards.
Scarcity and fierce auction bidding competition can keep hobbyists searching for years.
If you're lucky enough to own one or more cards on this list then you've got something special.
While not as valuable in general as baseball cards, there's no question that collectors are willing to pay big bucks to get their hands on the cards on this list.
The 1975 Topps George Brett rookie card is one of the most sought after cards in the hobby.
The green and purple split borders are instantly recognizable…
So is the nice pose of a young Brett wearing his Kansas City Royals cap standing ready at the bat.
As a mid-70’s card, it’s on the latter side of the vintage baseball card spectrum.
And while many cards from that decade may not fetch huge prices, Brett’s rookie card is an exception.
The exact reasons why, we’ll get into shortly.
It’s a card I’ve always wanted to own and someday hope to cross it off my want list in the near future.
For now, I’ll go over everything you need to know about collecting Brett’s rookie cards.
