Need to know Hockey Card Values

[whit254]

I have a lot of hockey cards from the 90s. Does anyone know how I can find out how much my cards are worth?

An easy way? No.

You can enter them all in something like Beckett's "organize" system and purchase the hockey OPG, or go through a copy of Tuff Stuff or some other pricing guide.

What I can tell you up front though, is that 99% of cards from the 90s aren't worth squat. Pick out the HOF'er base, and the inserts/parallels, and the occasional current star RC, but even those aren't going to be worth much outside of particular guys and rare/low #'d cards.

90s were WAY overproduced.

With the exception of a few inserts and RC, most of those cards are available for fractions of a penny.

If you go to your local library, you can probably pick a Charlton guide or a Beckett guide for Hockey cards. Just look up the set to find an approximate value.

If you find a Charlton, its best to have one from the past 5 years. If you get a beckett, unless its from the 90's, its likely not to have the values of your cards (most 90's sets are so worthless that they aren't included in the book). If you find an early 90's Beckett, for any value you find, knock off 90%. If you find a late 90's book, those prices tend to be more realistic (maybe).

Hope that this helps,
Cheers,

1 penny each card is a good estimate, im serious

Dollar for dollar value, you really won't acquire any wealth of course, but they only hold a trade value, and if you do use a guide, only use it ONLY as a trade guide.
Money wise, I would not expect to see more that 10-30% of the low column if you were to sell them, and good luck on a buyer.

I use a Beckett big book, and only ever consider it for trade values.
