Babe Ruth Baseball Cards Sell for ...What?!?

Collectors now have a place to track the top selling vintage graded sports cards each and every day through the launch of the Sports Card Top Ten Lists on SportsCollectorsDaily.com.

In a sponsorship arrangement with VintageCardPrices.com, Sports Collectors Daily will present a list of the top ten prices realized for vintage baseball, football, basketball, hockey and other sports cards over the previous seven-day period. Broken down by sport, the five Sports Card Top Ten Lists will track sales of individual graded cards by the major auction houses as well as those conducted via eBay and rank them 1-10 by selling price. The list will be updated 365 days per year and like every page on Sports Collectors Daily, the information is free to view.

Pricing baseball cards is one of the more popular pastimes on the internet, but until recently it was often difficult and current data was often difficult to obtain. The Sports Card Top Ten Lists will give collectors of all graded vintage sports cards the opportunity to get a quick overview of their marketplace and perhaps track the real value of their collection. Utilizing information gathered by Vintage Card Prices, the lists will provide the title of the card sold, as well as its grade and final selling price. Additional information about recent sales of specific cards is available through membership at VCP.

The vintage card market continues to grow and the professional grading/authentication companies have increased the amount of money spent on high-grade material. It’s perhaps the most active, vibrant part of the multi-million dollar sports memorabilia industry. Through one mouse click, collectors and dealers will now be able to quickly monitor which cards have generated the highest winning bids in the seven-day window.
