Where can I sell baseball cards for mucho dinero?

I've got a load of old baseball cards in collectible condition and I haven't found a really reliable way of selling them. A lot of them are definitely collector's items to some people and I don't want to go selling those for like 10 bucks at a pawn shop. Remember in Blast From the Past? Remember how the main character sold a bunch of old baseball cards and got loads of money for them. Well anyway I want to sell some of mine and I'd appreciate any help on this topic.|||Bring them to a Sports Card show and show them to several dealers. You should go with a price you would accept in mind, if all the dealers give you a figure way under what you think you should be getting, then you're probably way off on their actual value. Sports cards prior to 1980 are "old", anything newer is not. Do your research, buy a guide, read it, learn how to grade and put a value on your cards - then hit the shows or local stores.|||I would go to checkoutmycards.com. You create an account online and then you send them your cards. They scan your cards, lookup their book prices, and upload them to your online collection.

How do you get ready for a baseball tryout?

I have a baseball tryout in a month, and I want to be physically/mentally ready. I really want to make this team. Any advice?|||Defense first?? In baseball?? I don't think so. I have never seen a league where they have a "Designated Fielder" rather than a Designated Hitter. Work on your hitting man. GOOD teams will look at your offense and worry about your defense later. There will come a time when GOOD teams will need pinch hitters in situations. GOOD coaches will know this, and are more likely to take a good offensive player that is shaky in the field over a good fielder that can't hit. Also, hustle everywhere. Run on the field, run off of the field. This is a simple thing, and very easy to do. If you have time, work on your defense, but I must stress that this will be the least important part of your game in a tryout. In the event that you are practicing with the kids that are already on the team, find the Captain(s) and do whatever they tell you to do. If any player is going to have input on new guys it is going to be the Captain. Make friends with him. In summary, you have to try to impress in a tryout. Hit the ball as far and as hard as you can, and throw the ball as far and as hard as you can. DO NOT I repeat DO NOT hit a cut-off man if you are an outfielder. It is better to throw the ball out of the park than to hit a cut-off man during a tryout. You want to show them how hard and far you can throw, not how accurate. Accuracy will come later. Again, don't worry about your fielding lol. Very unimportant.





Good hitters only get a hit 30% of the time because of good pitching not good defense. I have no idea where the myth originates that a good defensive player will be a good hitter. That's absolutely fallacious, and it has no logic behind it whatsoever. Anyone who knows anything about baseball knows that you can hide bad defensive players ESPECIALLY if they are good hitters. It is a little more difficult to hide a bad hitter in the lineup because he is going to bat at least 4 times during a game, and possibly once or more in an RBI situation. A bad defender may go an entire week without even having a ball hit to him. Naturally there are positions where defense is important such as shortstop and second base. These guys do not have to be as good at offense as the other position players, because they are generally in there for defense. Work on your hitting! I guarantee if you go out and hit 5 or 6 balls out of the park during a batting practice round but muffed your defense, that a good coach would be more likely to keep you than if you made 5 or 6 diving catches in the outfield and could not hit the ball out of the infield.|||Im a assistant baseball coach for a high school, when i look at something, I want defense first, offense later, and it usually works. I look at your arm strength, how good you are at grounders, fly balls..etc. Go to the park work on these things. Coaches figure is you can throw, you can hit. So focus on your defense. Mentally, just take a deep breath and have confidence in yourself, of course you are going to be nervous, you can;t do anything about that, just relax,focus and let your game speak for it's self. But WORK ON YOUR DEFENSE! GOOD coaches know that when looking at your DEFENSE, you can know how good you are at hitting they figure that you are a good all around player. THIS I DO KNOW! FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND RECREATIONAL TEAMS, DEFENSE IS IMPORTANT. Why do you think good players only hit the ball 30 percent of the time, because of good defense.|||Stretch every day and make sure to eat well so u will have strength then just throw the ball against a wall or play catch after have some one toss you balls to hit to get warmed up after that make them throw it hard to get you comfortable. Throw and catch pop flys too. Keep doing that every day till you break a sweat. Also don't get into bad habits by short arming a throw go all the way thruu. Make sure u ask someone good if you are doing everything properly after you are done stretch agian to cooldown ;) I went all the way to county so trust me it works I hit 5 homeruns in a season and I'm only 5 ft tall|||Get a lot of BP in the cage or at a local batting cage. Stay fit and work on your conditioning also. And Just relax because you don't wanna be nervous and choke. So just be confident in yourself and go as hard as you can.|||Go out to a batting cage and hit some balls. If you can, you should try pitching and catching.

How long do you think it will be before boring baseball becomes extinct?

Lets face it. Baseball popularity is no where near where it was decades ago. Most young people today think its boring and slow. Now all the hype is on football, basketball and soccer and other sports. No one really cares about the World Series as much anymore. Only a few old timers really care about it because back then they had nothing else to do. Once most of them are dead, baseball will only become a distant memory. The only good thing about it is helped put people to sleep more than most sleeping pills. What do you think?|||-When the Chicago Cubs win the World Series (So don't hold your Breath! ) . ;)|||Your use of the phrase "boring baseball" always tips us off that this is another sock puppet account.





You are correct in one thing. Baseball popularity *is* nowhere near where it was decades ago. In the 50s average total attendance for all levels was around 40 million, and in 2008 total baseball attendance was over 110 million.





So, even though it was an accident of phrasing, you did (finally) get one thing right.|||Wow. You are crazy if you think baseball's gonna go extinct. It's the second most popular sport before basketball and after football. It is before, now, and in the future. It beats all.|||What? Are you... but... Let me just show you something...

What 3 teams would you consider to be the greatest baseball teams in the history of Major League Baseball?

This is a question to any knowledgeable baseball fan. What 3 teams would you consider to be the greatest baseball teams in the history of Major League Baseball?





You can go back from the 1920's to modern day baseball.


However, by doing so one must exemplify and give answers and background to each team that he picks representative for the 3 best teams. It must be also a team that has some sort of dynasty connected with it. Please respond.|||The best team I ever saw was the 1998 Yankees and as much as it pains me to say that as a Met die hard, it's the truth. I watched almost ever Yankee game that year and it was hard to hate them. They had the perfect build; pitching, power, speed, defense and a great bullpen. They could play small ball, they could slug it out. And the funny thing is, there were only two HOFers on that team.





The best teams though in my opinion-


1927 Yankees- the team was the start of the great Yankee teams and with Ruth and Gehrig anchoring a powerhouse lineup, for that time period anyhow, they were almost unbeatable.





1955 Brooklyn Dodgers- it's hard NOT to include them because if it weren't for the crosstown Yankees, the bums would have won a few more championships while in Brooklyn. The team rivaled the Yankees in terms of HOFers. I'll go to the grave saying that it's a crime that Gil Hodges isn't in the Hall.





1961 New York Yankees- The M%26amp;M boys made that an exciting summer because of the homerun chase. And with all the venom that Maris had to endure, the supposed rivalry between the party animal Mantle and the quiet family man Maris that the media tried to create which didn't exist, it took away from one of the most exciting baseball seasons for Yankee fans and baseball fans.





Honorable Mentions:


I'm also going to mention the 1986 Mets because that team could have done more. Since many fans like to compare the past and the present, had the divsion and playoff format been like it is today back in the 80's, the Mets would have made the playoffs from 1984-at least 1990. That team was much like the 1998 Yankees team, perectly crafted. Pitching, power, speed, defense, great bullpen for it's time. Davey Johnson said in Spring training that the team was going to dominate, and they did. Of course they didn't dominate in the WS, but it wouldn't be a Met team without some drama now would it. Had injuries not snake bit the 87 team, they could have very well repeated (not taking anything away from St. Louis or Minnesota) and in 1988 they ran into a red hot Dodger team and Orel Hershiser. An Oakland/New York WS would have been epic. The teams were so similiar it wasn't funny.





I'm also very partial to the 1990's Braves team that should have/could have won more championships than they did. Plus that rotation is one of the best ever assembled. Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz and Avery- 6 Cy Youngs between them (Avery could have very well won one).|||The Big Red Machine in the 1970's comes to mind and so does the Oakland A's team that won 3 times in a row in the 1970's





I do not care to consider teams before Free Agnecy or when baseball was segregated.|||1 Yankees


2 Red Sox


3 Dodgers
