Default trading basketball cards?

hey all ive got some basketball cards from the early 90's sitting in my room gathering dust and i want to get rid of them. dont really know how much they are worth.

is there anywhere that will look at these and give me a fair price or would i be better to just list them on ebay and see how i go out of that?


cheers
brendan

You can buy a beckitt to find out the value of the card before you list it.

Please tell me they're worth a mint - I've got a shoebox full of them, all early to mid 90's...

Ha Ha, the old Upper Deck cards. My mate used to do the distribution of them to the news agents, used to give me full unopened boxes of them. My young bloke just threw out hundreds of them, but kept all the good ones. Another funny one is my sister has an unopened pack of Scanlons footy cards from the 60's, too scared to open it, apparently there was a supposed card worth squillions that was never found. I wonder!!!!

Ahoy.

I have a friend who likes Basketball cards but he threw a lot of his out.

Although he buys them for nothing off Ebay nowadays, he may be interested so if you have a price, get back to me, along with a list of what you have.

Thats the bottom line the card is only worth what someone will pay for it . Getting somone to pay for it would be the hard bit.
