Below are short bits & pieces on sportscard & baseball trading card collecting.
Please wander around the website for more info, prices, values & images

Ways to sell your baseball cards
2 reasons auctions are popular way to sell vintage sports cards.
#1 Desirable items tend to get top dollar (or better !)
#2 Everything goes
... This can be good - Everything gone, happy with final total
... or can be very bad - Everything gone, but at super low prices
OTHER WAYS TO SELL YOUR CARDS
•eBay Buy-it-Now •card store •swap meet
•Craigslist •garage/yard sale
or •DONATE to a charity for tax write-off
Not selling but perhaps easiest with possible $$$ return.
ASSUMPTIONS:
#1) You are one of the RARE tax payers left in America
#2) You have mostly late 80's & 90's "junk"
Consider donating the "junk" and keep better stuff to sell later.
Tax deduction was based on LESSER of "what-it-cost" & "What-it's-Worth".
For "What-it's-Worth", I use Beckett which can be higher than what you paid.
Check with your tax guy.

1975 Topps Baseball Cards Checklist & Values
The first think you notice about Topps 1975 baseball cards is their
very colorful and thinck borders, many say TOO colorful, TOO thick.
Anyway, this set doesn't show up on too many best designed baseball
card lists.
But what it lacked in design, it made up in other ways.
First was the AWESOME ROOKIE cards for Hall-of-Famers George Brett,
Robin Yount, Jim Rice, Fred Lynn and Gary Carter.
Then there was the SUPER POPULAR MVP subset. One of my
favorite Topps subsets, there were now many great cards picturing
players like Mickey Mantle & Willie Mays.
It didn't stop there. There were several Record Breaker cards featuring
greats like Hank Aaron & Nolan Ryan. Plus the always loved League Leaders
cards and even more .
AND THE BEST PART --- 1975 Topps Minis !!!
Yes, a whole new set, exactly the same, but a slightly smaller size !!!

How long have sports cards been around ? (part 2)
The first important and mainstream basketball set was issued by Bowman in 1948.
Other than a Topps set in 1957-58 and a 1961-62 Fleer set, there were no
mainstream basketball sets issued until Topps started producing yearly sets
beginning with their 1969-70 set featuring the rookie card of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
who then went under the name of Lew Alcindor.
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued
some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction
of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911,
modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
