FAQs

How accurate are these values?

These estimates are based on recent sales data from reputable sources such as Sports Card Investor and eBay.

What are the best brands to invest in for long-term value?

Bowman Chrome 1st autos (prospects), Topps Chrome RCs (rookies), Panini Prizm, and National Treasures are known for their long-term value.

How do I know if my card is worth grading?

Check for centering, corners, edges, and surface quality. Cards in mint condition are more likely to receive higher grades.

What does PSA 10 mean?

PSA 10 is Gem Mint—virtually perfect, with no visible imperfections under magnification.

Why do some cards have refractor or parallel versions?

Refractors and parallels are special print variations—often shinier or colored—that are produced in smaller quantities, making them more collectible and valuable.

How often should I check card prices?

Markets shift quickly, especially during player call-ups, hot streaks, or playoff runs. Checking weekly—or even daily for prospects and stars—helps you stay on top of trends.

What’s the difference between raw and graded cards?

Raw cards are ungraded, straight from packs or collections. Graded cards are authenticated and condition-rated by companies like PSA, BGS, or SGC—often commanding higher resale value.

Do rookie cards always hold the most value?

Rookie cards are typically the most sought-after, but rare inserts, autographs, or limited parallels from later years can also surpass rookie values depending on demand.
