Instructions
Read information on the back of each card, including the name of the player, year of the card, manufacturer of the card and the box set from which the card was collected.
Go to a sports cards dealer, bookstore or an Internet collectibles site.
View current price guides for the relevant sport.
Search for brand, year and box set of the card in each price guide.
Search for the player name, often accompanied by a card serial number matching the number on the back of the card.
Scan across the player name to the price listed.
Examine the card to determine its condition. Look for worn edges, printing inconsistencies and small imperfections.
Consult the price guide's definition of "mint condition" (typically listed at the beginning of the guide) to determine the value of the card.
