One of the best ways to get the value of a specific card or set is through online price guides.

There are several available, but you may want to start with one that is free. An updated price guide for sports cards exists at www.tuffstuff.com. This site is the online home of TUFF STUFF magazine - the hobby's all-sport price guide covering baseball, football, basketball, hockey, racing and more.

The price guide is free, but you need to register to use it. Click here to set up your own account now and get on your way to finding out the value of your cards.

In addition to the free online price guide, you may want to purchase one or more of the Online Price Guides available at Beckett.com by clicking here.

Another great online method for determining the value of your cards is to look at completed auction data from the various auction sites listed in our Auctions section.

Note: In order to determine the value of any trading card, it is very important to first determine the quality of the card or the grade. Please see our Grading section for more information. Also, any card only maintains its value if it is kept in good condition.
