Trading Cards, What types are there and Where do you buy them?:Trading cards have been around since the start of baseball and the highest valued card ever was the "Mona Lisa of Baseball Cards," the Honus Wagner T206 tobacco card which sold on eBay for $1.1 million. Enough said, let your kids collect their favorite trading cards and go back through any old boxes you may have kept growing up because you may have a million dollar card in your collection. Baseball cards are a memorabilia keepsake that can be handed down from generation to generation. Kids have always enjoyed collecting football, basketball, baseball, hockey, star wars, pokemon, and many more trading card series. With the internet, now you can trade and buy cards on sites like Ebay and make your collection grow. More and more comic book shops have started carrying trading cards, so be sure to check in your town for a store like that. Rookie cards have always been more valuable than any other year cards. Jerry Rice's rookie card was selling for $139 recently which was off of its peak years ago, so, much like stocks you need to trade at the highs to get your moneys worth. It's big business these days with UpperDeck, Topps, and Flair fighting for kids dollars. You can go to any of the big 3 websites to purchase complete sets of current year sports. See below for more information on pricing guides to baseball cards, pokemon cards, Yu Gi Oh cards, and other types of trading cards like Star Wards cards.
Where can I find the value/price of baseball cards?:Say you buy a baseball card at a baseball card shop or online at Ebay, how do you know what the card is worth in a year or 2. There is a company that does baseball card pricing and value guides at Beckett.com. You can get a rough idea of what your card collection is worth by going to the site and checking amounts for players, whole sets, etc. Vintage baseball cards carry the greatest value since they are harder to find. If you had a Babe Ruth card from the 1920's you could fetch $800 for it. So get out your collection and find the best cards you want to sell and determine how much they are worth. You may be surprised.What are Pokemon Trading Cards?The Pokémon Trading Card Game was first introduced to North America in 1999, and in Japan at an earlier date. It is a collectible card game based off the famous Pokémon video game. Pokemon is a roll playing game in which players have to get all 150 Pokemon to complete a Pokemon reference book. Each game has different Pokemon, which have unique powers that are connected with the elements of earth, wind, fire and water. Players, known as trainers, are supposed to capture, teach and care for their pet monsters. Trainers also compete in Pokemon battles with each otherYu Gi Oh Cards?Yu-Gi-Oh trading cards are the biggest card craze from Japan since Pokemon. Yu-Gi-Oh! is the story of Yugi and his friends who are caught up in the game craze that is sweeping the nation. Yugi's grandfather manages a gaming shop and introduces him to an ancient Egyptian card fighting game called "Duel Monsters." The game pits different mystical creatures against one another in magical duels on a shifting battlefield filled with traps and magical pitfalls. When the haze of battle clears, only one can be called Yu-Gi-Oh!, King of Games. Yugi unlocks the secret of the ancient Egyptian Millennium Puzzle that releases a powerful spirit of an Egyptian King called YuGiOh! When Yugi solves the Millennium Puzzle, he is awarded with the alter ego of the all-powerful game king and is able to defeat the virtual reality monster rivals.
Star Wars Trading Cards:With the recent Star Wars movies Episode I, The Sith, etc, the older Star Wars trading cards from the late 1970's and early 1980's are becoming quite valuable as this generation realizes there were cards from the earlier movies as well. The Blue, Red, Yellow, Green and Orange series are considered vintage Star Wars cards from the first movie. Then The Empire Strikes Back had it's own line of cards along with the Return of the Jedi.
