OCRCARD - Preparing, Assessing Value, and Selling Vintage Sport Cards
Course Description
Do you have an old shoe box full of old baseball and other sports cards? Do you want to determine if your cards have value and how much they are worth? The first thing collectors must do is find out which players’ cards are in the collection, which are the cards of stars, and which are common cards. Then, the condition of each card must be examined, cleaned, and protected. Cards of significant value may be worth having officially authenticated by a grading service. Once graded, it’s important to know where to go to sell the cards at top dollar. This course will help participants to make the best decisions as they assess their collections and prepare the cards for grading and selling. The course information will be useful for collectors of both vintage and more recent sports cards.Notes
