Know the value of your soccer cards with price guides

All collectors, whether they are buying, selling, trading, or just collecting, will at some point want to know the value of their cards. The good news is that you can rely on the price guides to find out the value of your cards. These list the "book values" of almost all printed cards. The only problem is that different price guides can have different values ​​for the same card.

The guides published by Beckett and Tuffstuff are the most popular and used. These guides give a high and low book value (BV) for any particular card. You can subscribe to their sites or monthly magazines for pricing information.

These magazines are published monthly and allow you to update the value of your soccer cards several times a year. The cards in these guides are listed by manufacturer and year, making it easy to locate your cards.

Price guides are especially helpful when trading soccer cards. Collectors rely more on the price guide listing and will often trade book value for book value.

However, don't be too quick to sell your cards; the listed values ​​do not mean that you will get the exact same price. Remember that a card is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. When planning to sell your cards, do your research on auction sites like eBay to find out how much your card is selling for.

Registered users have basic access to the complete auction data, free of charge. A quick search can show you a list of all auctions, including completed and incomplete sales, for the past 90 days. One flaw is that not all cards have full eBay sales data available. This is where printed price guides have an advantage over eBay.

Additionally, some websites provide pricing data for specific genres, such as classified and vintage cards. Collector's Universe, for example, publishes an online price guide and supplement for PSA-rated cards every month. Old Card Pricing is a trusted pricing resource for older cards.

You can also attend a trading card convention, attended by soccer card dealers and certified authenticators who qualify your soccer cards for a small fee. You will also meet more card collecting enthusiasts like yourself and might even sell your cards.
