Does anyone still know the value of baseball cards?

Tay -

I still do some cards and keep my Beckett On-Line Price Guide to check price.

The 1999 UD Piece of History GU Bat Card set includes:

#ARM Hank Aaron/ Babe Ruth/ Willie Mays SP Item has no pricing.

#XXX Instant Winner Card Item has no pricing.

#BR Babe Ruth/ 50 #/50 Item has no pricing.

#PH Babe Ruth #/350 $1,000.00

#EB Ernie Banks #/350 $250.00

#EM Eddie Mathews #/350 $300.00

#EM Eddie Murray #/350 $200.00

#FR Frank Robinson #/350 $200.00

#HA Hank Aaron #/350 $300.00

#HK Harmon Killebrew #/350 $200.00

#JF Jimmie Foxx #/350 $200.00

#MM Mickey Mantle #/350 $600.00

#MO Mel Ott #/350 $200.00

#MS Mike Schmidt #/350 $150.00

#RJ Reggie Jackson #/350 $120.00

#TW Ted Williams #/350 $300.00

#WM Willie Mays #/350 $250.00

#WM Willie McCovey #/350 $120.00

So you're looking at a total set value of around $4,500.00 (It's actually $4,390 for these listed, I'm adjusting for the Sheff as I don't see it listed)

Hope this helps!!!

an aaron and a banks card sold recently for around $100 each on ebay so like many inserts their value will not hold. thats about 1/3 of what Chris quoted. maybe you can get the whole set for $1500 or less.

I agree that you can get most of them for below BV, but in the card industry, Ruth, Mantle and Williams still command almost full BV, so be ready to shell out some dough for the big boys...

I say forget all about scrubs like Ruth, Mantle, Williams, etc. and drop 20X that amount for a signed Strasburg card

NICE.

OR

I remember that set. I used to be a huge collector of game used cards and I remember that set as being the most highly desirable set out there. It brings back the days when collecting cards was actually fun, and the game used cards actually had value to them. Now they're over-produced, and worth not even $5 a piece now.



I'd say get the set, but only if you're willing to drop a LOT for the Ruth card. Those sell for the highest in the set.

so [4500-1900 (Ruth, Mantle, Williams) / 2 ] + 1900 = $3200 a reasonable offer for the entire set or too high?
