There is a place call Frank and sons in the city of industry. It used to be back in the days a Sam’s club, not it’s like a mini swap meet but it’s filled with cards, toys,movies, video game collector's.. they are open on weekends only.. so give it a shot.. you might be lucky and have a rare baseball card. If I were you i would first go online.. get an idea how much the card is worth and then go there.. I hope this info helped you out😬

Do your homework. Some cards can be worth $1000's. The trick is to find someone who will pay top dollar.If you go to a dealer or card shop they will give you a low offer so they can make money. If you have a Topps 1952 Mickey Mantle......LMK! LOL

A friend inherited thousands of baseball cards and Pokémon cards and she asked me to help sort through them. I understand some Pokémon cards can also be very valuable.
I know nothing about either of them, so maybe I too will learn on this blog.

I would start by looking online, (anyone who looks at them will most likely do this anyway). If you have a lot of a specific set or year, Google key cards from that year to help you narrow down what you're looking for. Honestly the best way tho, is to look on eBay, recent sold. Doing that for each card may take forever, but it's the best way to know the value. Also I know people bundle their collection and sell them as mystery packs as well on eBay, I'm into the hobby but don't know a lot about each year and set, there's too many.

Also there is an app called Ludex, I'm sure others as well. But it scans the card and shows you the value, I just remembered this, it's a cool app, and it's free 😍

What’s in it for me?

Yes I've collected baseball cards most of my life. Since it looks like you're from OC lookup these local sports card shops, and go in and ask them. They are always very helpful! I also agree that looking on eBay will give you a good idea of prices of each individual card, but pricing depends on graded or raw cards and condition, and the rarity of it. Good Luck!

Beckett used to be a popular magazine that would tell you the price for individual cards and sets in different conditions.

Card shops will rip you off. Figure out values on your own and expect 50-75% of that on Ebay or other online sites.
I once watched a guy at a card shop offer "forty bucks if it'd help you out" for a 1966 Mickey Mantle in a hard case, probably grade 7-8 condition. They're crooks!
Do your homework!!!
My flagship card: 1933 Lou Gherig, slabbed and graded a 7.

As a kid, my dad owned a drug store in Chicago, and used to bring home BOXES of Topps baseball cards.. I threw away the gum,, but had some gems in there.
Tom Seaver rookie card among others. As a Cub fan, all I was interested in were Chicago Cub player cards.
I had MANY duplicates and gave many away to friends.
Sadly I didnt know the value of what I had, and when I went away to college my family threw away all my baseball cards (and comic books).
Dont get me started about my Lionel Train set from the 50s.

Contact this guy. I trusted him with my Mickey Mantle and Sandy Koufax and got more than market price.

It all depends on how rare the card is and condition.I used to collect a ton of cards in late 90s and early 2000s and I would be more then happy to help you out.Let me know if you still want someone to look at them and also some might be worth a lot graded especially if tbere vintage cards.
