Baseball Cards Price

What are Topps baseball cards worth?

I have roughly 7,000 baseball cards ranging from (what I've seen) the 80s to the early-90s. I got them randomly and am trying to go through them all and figure out what they're worth. I've looked through a ton of sites but can't seem to find anything with prices besides Ebay which isn't really something concrete to go by. I bought a book, which should soon come in, but I'd like to find something on the web to check out or if possible, the best way to finding out the value of a large amount of cards. Thanks in advance for any help! Thanks, -Liz-

1. Depends.....The player, and quality.
2. I'd give you about $25.00 for all 7000 cards...although if you looked through your cards and told me which ones you had I might give you $25.00 for just a single card alone. It all depends on which players you have, from what year and most importantly the quality of the card. Is it bent up, dinged, or is it straight out of the package and in mint condition. If you have 7000 cards I'm assuming they're all in boxes and probably not in the best condition, so don't expect to get more than a few bucks for all your cards.
3. Becket is a good price guide to buy for cards and can be found in any book store.
4. It depends on who the player is...You need to buy a "Becket Guide" It will tell you want each one you have is worth.
5. Most likely you have cards from 1988 to 1992 - that was when the baseball industry really exploded and people just went crazy buying and collecting. Okay, get your cards and see if they match any of these - 1986 Topps - set of 792 cards - book value anywhere from $10 to $25. Best cards in the set - Pete Rose (Card No. 1) - $2.00; Nolan Ryan (#100) - $2.00, Roger Clemens ( #661) - $4.00. The rest are priced from .02 (about 90%) to $1.00. 1987 Topps - set of 792 - from $10 to $25. Best cards - Bo Jackson RC (#170) - $3; Barry Bonds RC (#320) - $8 and Mark McGwire (#366) - $4. 1988 Topps - set of 792 - from $6 to $15 1989 Topps - set of 792 - from $8 to $20. Craig Biggio RC (#49) - $2. 1990 Topps - set of 792 - from $8 to $20. Frank Thomas RC (#414) - $2; Sammy Sosa RC (#692) - $2.50. 1991 Topps - 792 $8-$20 Chipper Jones RC (#333) - $4 1992 Topps - 792 $10-$25 Manny Ramirez RC (#156) - $4 1993 Topps - 825 $20-$50 Derek Jeter RC (#98) - $10. 1994 Topps - 792 $20-$50 1995 Topps - 660 $50-$80 1996 Topps - 440 $15-$40 The price range means the buying and selling are anywhere between the low and the high values, depending on supply and demand and the condition of the cards. The book you ordered, I hope it's the Beckett Baseball Card Annual Price Guide (29th edition)...it's the most complete book on card prices. On-Line Pricing ------ Yes, yes, you can also get pricing on line but you have to pay ($10 a month, I think!)...it's at Beckett.com If you need more help, just e-mail me.
6. go to the sports card shop and pick up a beckett. it is a monthly magazine, and gives you the highest and lowest. cards are up and down, so the book you are waiting for is already outdated. if the cards are not even listed in the beckett they are worth about.05 cents a piece and that is if they are in mint condition. suggestion: organize your cards! they are much easier to find in the book that way. P.s. Inday is talking about FULL sets
