newb here, need help pricing out old cards

[asylum-]

Hey guys.. My grandpa died a while back and he was a big collector of cards. Now no one else in my family has ever followed his footsteps. We know absolutely nothing about these collectibles and how much they are worth. He did price all of them, but we dont know how old the prices are. He did label them, so im going to tell ya what he wrote. Basically what im askin is if yall know any of the prices of these could ya give me a shout?

1961 yankees world series ring, salesman sample 14k gold plate ring, he priced this as 5750 says it was "bookvalue"

Next one is a case with a mit inside, holding a ball. ball says World series champions. it has a picture of derek jeter on it, it says 1996 american league rookie of the year. under that it has a autograph, in yellow, looks printed.

a baseball in a standing case, he has it labeld as "austin, 1970 indians" it has 4 signatures on it. 1 looks likes charles H, next looks like bud A, next looks like mitch something, 4th one is too light to read.

next is a baseball in a stand, It reads Terry muholland / pitcher n.y. yankees 1994, #46. signed baseball.

next one is a ball in a case, says "babe ruth, 100th anniversary 1895-1995. has history on it of babe ruth, still rapped in plastic.

Next one is a ball in a case, has barry larkin and cecil fielder printed on it, the ball says caring team of athletes, 5th anniversary. 1996

I would be interested in the 1959 Aaron and 1954 Ford baseball cards. Send scans to [email protected]

I will say, you have some desirable pieces posted. Much of it goes by condition, others by authenticity...many both. Cards and auto's can be graded, and should in many cases. Pictures/Scans can speak volume's

As for doing a little homework yourself:
Ebay is a great place to "Quick Price" pieces due to the sheer variety for auction or completed within the past 30 days.
If you go to sell, a reputable hobby store owner can be invaluable.

I don't know where your located so I can't give you any specific help or guidance.

Good Luck with your collectibles!!

I agree, it's hard to tell without knowing the condition of the items. The cards will be easier to find values on. What brand is the Arod card by the way? Also is the Rickie Weeks from 2003 and is it autographed? If so you may have this one:

2003 Bowman Chrome Draft172Rickie Weeks AU RC$25.00$50.00

Here are some values I pulled from the Beckett price guides and Tuff Stuff to give you and idea on some items. These are nmt/mt or better condition values. (Disclaimer: Rule #1--an item is only worth what a buyer will pay at a given moment based on supply/demand. In many cases you cannot sell the items for the listed book values and sometimes you get lucky and they sell higher:

The David Ortiz auto ball if in excellent condition would go for $135 according to Tuff Stuff's Sports Collector Monthly if authenticated.

2003 Absolute Memorabilia Total Bases Materials HR6Sammy Sosa/49$10.00$25.00

Daisuke Matsuzaka topps rookie card, boston red sox, 2007 (BV $8) -- If Japanes version or has no fascimile auto, then it books $12

I'll try to help with some other BV's as I get a chance

Hope this helps a little
