Football, Baseball, and Other Sports Card Values

Prices in the Vintage Football Card Gallery

I have provided approximate retail values for many of the vintage football cards pictured on this site. Use the Quick Search on the left side of this page to search for your cards. As I have time, I will add values for more of the cards.

For an explanation of how I got the values, see my price guide page. For now I am pricing only cards in NM condition. If there is a demand, I will add values for other grades, as well.

Prices of Other Sports Cards

The estimate the values of cards that are not in the Gallery--or of those I have not priced yet--I recommend looking at recent prices on eBay. Looking at completed eBay listings will give you a good indication of what people will actually pay for your cards. Price guides such as Beckett (see below) are also popular.

Also see my blog article, V is for Values, and my gallery page on places to sell football, baseball, and other sports cards.

Finding Your Cards on eBay

To find completed auctions for your cards on eBay:

1. Use the eBay search box below to search for your card. I recommend using the set name and the player, e.g., "1981 Topps Joe Montana."
2. On the page of results that comes up, scroll down until you find the Completed Listings link on the left. (It is in the Preferences section.)
3. Select the Completed Listings link. (You will need a valid ebay id to see the completed listings. If you don't have one, you can register here.)
4. Look for your card in the results to see what people have paid for it.

The condition of your cards is critical in determining their value, so look in the results for cards that are in the same condition as yours. Many of the cards you see will have grades assigned to them, either by the seller or a third-party grading company such as SGC or PSA. You can find descriptions of the grades on PSA's web site and SGC's web site.

Sports Card Price Guides

Beckett publishes the most popular price guides, and the guides are available on eBay. Beckett prints a separate guide for each sport.
