How Do I Find The Value Of Sports Memorabilia?
I was recently given a bunch of sports memorabilia (cards, books, etc), and I'm interested in finding out if any of it is worth anything. How might I go about doing that?
There are many catalogs/pricing guides out there that will give you the "estimated value" for both cards and memorabilia. Beckett is by far the most widely recognized publisher in the industry. I have also done searches on-line at the numerous sites that sell memorabilia and cards, such as e-bay. You can get a pretty good idea on these sites of the current Market Value.
You should also keep in mind that sports cards and memorabilia are difficult to tell the "true" value of, because they often have are more valuable to one person than another. Sports memorabilia value often is overestimated by the holder of the items, because there is often times some nostalgia/memories associated with the items. The value of the object is merely what you are willing to allow another person to take off of Your hands for.
Personally I often found that the monetary value that another person is willing to pay pales in comparison to the nostalgic and personal value that the items have to me.

If any of your sports memorabilia items are autographed, there are several sites that you can check to determine the approximate value of the items.
They include the following:
http://www.schwartzsports.com
http://www.steinersports.com
http://www.upperdeck.com
http://www.aaasportsmemorabilia.com
http://www.mountedmemories.com
http://www.ironcladauthentics.com
These are just a few that specialize in autographed memorabilia. The value of your items, if they are autographed, depends on whether or not they have certificates of authenticity (COA). The value of the item is also determined by who the COA is from. For example, a COA from Upper Deck would be more valuable than one from a company that no one has ever heard of. There are a lot of forgeries on the market.
