appraisal of cards

**schneider** · 05-04-2008, 05:35 PM

hi,

I recently dug up a set of cards in a box while going through the garage from the 75-76 season and would like some help on finding out their value.

any advice on a way to do this quickly. I don't want to have to search for each card individually. are there any sites that will tell you if I scan in a photo of the cards.

Sign up for Beckett's online price guide for $5.99, you can find the set in the database and it will list the prices for every single card. That's the easiest way to do it

If you have a card from the set, tell me the # of the card and the player on it, and i can look it up to find the set for you.
Thanks,
Ed

I have the whole set.

I was thinking of just scanning the pages from the binder into my pc and then putting them on a webpage and see if anyone wants individual cards.

Feel free to do that and list them for trade or sale (whatever your going to try to do). Look forward to seeing them as you should definitely get some interest depending on the condition being the most important factor.

Nice find....Topps, OPC ? NHL, WHA ? can you give us a sample ? familar name and card number and we can pinpoint the set...then list the higher value ones for you etc.

ok ,

here's a few pics of some of the cards. these older ones aren't in a folder with plastic holders , so I just took a few quick shots.

I'm going to put the cards in a binder when I have some time and put them all up so I can get some opinions on their value.

a friend of mine got taken advantage of by a dealer once and that made me untrusting of peoples appraisals when they have a store. That's why the cards were just tucked away and forgotten for the last 30 yrs.

anyways ,

here's the teaser.

as you can see , the checklist has been checked , so I know that takes down the value. but I was a kid when they were collected.Who knew I'd be trying to sell them 30 yrs later.

the good news and the bad news. Well it looks like they are the 1975-1976 OPC cards. The whole set has a high book value of $40 but the two top cards book that alone one reason it better to unload cards individually etc. As the Ken Dryden books like $20 and the Bobby Orr (normal card not his other cards think he has a few) books like $30. So there are a few cards in that set that book in double digits. But not big rookies that year as the low value. The team Checklist I think book 2 to 4 dollars.

hi, thanks for the response.

are those the only two worth mentioning?

I guess I'll just post pics of them and see what kind of response I get.

The cards shown are from 2 different years . I can't see the first scan but the seals card is from OPC 75-76 and the Rod Seiling and potvin with the green backs are from 76-77. I have some 75-76 wants if they are for trade.
