Baseball Cards

Baseball cards have been around for over a century.  Pre-war cards can sell for thousands of dollars while modern day cards are becoming valuable collectibles.  The hobby has drastically changed over the years, but card manufacturers are still producing some amazing new products.  Companies like Topps, Panini, Upper Deck have become very innovative selling boxes and packs.  New limited edition cards and memorabilia cards are some of the nicest baseball cards that have ever been produced.  Autographed cards are now a common place in the hobby.  Typically, they are randomly inserted into packs of cards.

Card grading has also changed the hobby.  Grading has made it much easier to buy and sell cards. It has created a new market giving collectors a way to rapidly find what they are looking for and make more informed decisions on the cards they are buying.

How does Baseball Card Grading Work?

Card grading is a great way to protect your sports cards while determining their current condition. Once the card is graded it becomes much easier to have appraised and normally easier to sell.  A number value is assigned to each card which coincides with the grade the card received.  This number is printed directly on the label and sealed into the holder with the card.
