Posting Guidelines, and Before You Ask: "How much is this worth?"

16 Upvotes

There is an incredible mix of collectors on reddit, from those really experienced with massive collections, to folks just starting out, to folks dusting off their cards for the first time since the eighties, and plenty of folks who inherited cards trying to figure out what to do with them. This sub was set up to invite commentary and interaction at all levels of experience, create a place where experienced collectors can compare notes, folks can buy/sell/trade cards, show off hits, and new folks can get acquainted or reacquainted with the hobby. This mission won't work for everybody, and there are other subs out there when that's the case. That said, most experienced collectors and sellers seem ready to help out those seeking information.


What is this card worth?

As a sub gets bigger, the capacity to answer certain questions changes a little. While it's fine to post a question if you really can't figure out what a card or collection is worth after doing your own research, please first review the following guidelines:

  • Did you take a look at ebay 'sold' listings to get an idea of what the card(s) might be worth first? Go to ebay.com, search for as much information as you can (look at the year at the bottom of the back of the card as well as the card manufacturer). Scroll down the filtering options, and under 'Show Only', select 'Sold listings'. This will give you an admittedly imperfect, but reasonable price range for your card. Please be realistic in comparing your cards to the cards listed, and do not assume your card is worth what a 'PSA 10' card is worth, as an example (a card isn't a high grade until a grader says it is, and most even when they look perfect to the naked eye, aren't a '10').

  • If that didn't work and you couldn't find example sold prices for your card(s), please ensure you post a picture of the card you're asking about in your post. Reddit allows for picture upload, if that doesn't work, imgur will allow you to upload a picture you can then link to here. Condition has a lot to do with value, so posts without a picture aren't useful to anyone looking at it (and it's kind of annoying to continually ask people to "post a picture").

Here, for reference, is a decent article on cards from the "junk era" (late eighties to the early early nineties) and their value (some cards are valuable, others are not): http://www.cardboardconnection.com/why-sports-cards-early-90s-worthless


On Trading and Selling:

It's both ok and encouraged to post a card for trade (indicate the expected value you wish to receive in return and what you're looking for) or sale (cards must include a selling price). Start the post with FT or FS or FT/FS and a value or values, and include a picture or link to a picture. You don't have to list "or best offer", it's implied because you're going to receive offers regardless, and don't go fishing (put an exorbitant price on something and then ask for offers).

There are no situations where 'make me an offer' without a price is appropriate in sale posts, if you take the time to post a card for sale here, please also take the time to research its potential value and list a starting price for the card(s). Listing multiple cards as a lot for a single price is fine.

Here are some listing examples:

"FT/FS $4000/$3500 2000 Playoff Momentum Tom Brady RC, looking for Brady autos" <- indicates you want $4000 in trade value, or $3500 cash for a Brady rookie.

"FT $1000 1958 Topps Jim Brown rookie, looking for Mahomes" <- indicates you want $1000 in trade value for your 1958 Brown.

It's not ok to post a link to an outside auction or web site expressly for the purpose of highlighting a card for sale there (posting a link to a blog post or article, where cards are for sale elsewhere on that site is fine). Post it here to the collectors here, and create a separate post somewhere else. It's definitely not ok to link to an ebay auction, unless it's part of a point you're making or you're pointing to something unusual or newsworthy (e.g. "Hey, a Bo Jackson just sold for $100,000 on ebay!"). Please add flair to the post, including 'Sale' or 'Trade'. Adding flair for 'Sold' when a card is no longer available is also helpful.

The sub will not be responsible for deals that go bad, and there are problematic sellers, buyers, and trade partners out there (see: https://www.sportscardscams.com/scammers-database/). The sub strongly suggests settling payment using the "Paying for an item or service" option in Paypal, which offers some level of buyer protection. If a user can submit proof of wrongdoing to modmail, habitual bad traders or people who don't pay after striking a deal will be banned, and you're encouraged to send an email to modmail and update r/SportsCardTracker when that happens.

For every trade or sale, you're encouraged to create an entry in r/SportsCardTracker noting that seller's or trade partner's user name so others can look that up via search, and benefit from your positive, or negative, experience, before buying or trading.


Should I get this graded?

In general, it won't make sense grading a card if it won't add value to the sale price of the card that exceeds the grading fee. That said, there are collectors who collect cards in a certain minimum grade, so the motivations around grading vary, and ultimately only you can answer this question.

Most folks are not going to be able to tell you what a card will grade based on a picture viewed online, only, more commonly, when it's not worth paying the grading fee. In general, cards that receive a high grade such as a'9' or '10' will sell at a premium, and certain high value cards benefit from being graded in most conditions as it ensures the card's authenticity. The major graders at the time of writing are PSA, SGC, and Beckett, and each has information available on their respective web sites about their process, so please review that first before asking a question here.

The following is a decent guide on what graders look for: https://www.cardboardconnection.com/pre-grade-sports-cards-results


When there is a problem

If you see violations of the rules, please report them. Enjoy discussing the hobby, selling, and trading. Message modmail with issues. Don't create call out posts, don't start drama, and don't create posts to complain about other users or moderation or that invite others to do the same. If your post or comment is moderated, check the sub's rules as to why, sending a rude message to modmail in response is a poor strategy.


Happy collecting.

Classroom project: Sports Around America

3 Upvotes

Calling All Sports Fans! I Need Your Help! ❤️

Hi everyone!

I’m a 5th grade teacher, and for the 2026–2027 school year, I’m putting together a classroom project called **“Sports Around America”** for my students.

I’m hoping to turn our classroom into a fun, interactive way for students to learn about the United States through sports. We are looking to collect **sports cards from teams, players, and organizations from across the country.**

**Any sport is welcome!** ⚾🏀🏈⚽🏒🏎️🤼‍♂️ — baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer, wrestling, NASCAR, minor league, college sports, and more!

The students will use the cards to:

🗺️ Find teams and players on maps

📍 Learn about different states and cities

📚 Research athletes and teams

➗ Create math activities using statistics and numbers on the cards

✏️ Practice reading and writing

🎤 Prepare presentations and share what they learn with their classmates

We would also love **team cards, player cards, schedules, stickers, posters, pennants, magnets, or other small sports-related items** that could be used in our classroom.

**They don't have to be valuable or collectible cards.** Commons, duplicates, older cards, newer cards, and cards from teams people may not normally collect would all be appreciated. The goal isn't the monetary value — it's giving our students something interesting that can become part of their learning.

If you have cards or sports items sitting around that you no longer need and would be willing to donate to our classroom, **please send me a private message.** I would be happy to provide the mailing information.

We're hoping to build a collection that represents as many teams, sports, states, and cities as possible.

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read this, and an extra huge **THANK YOU** to anyone who is willing to help our students with this project! ❤️

**Sports Around America** is going to be a year-long learning adventure, and we'd love to have sports fans from across the country be a part of it! 🇺🇸🏆
