Baseball card collectors: best online resource for pricing?
I've got a bunch of baseball cards from my youth, and I'm wondering what the best online resource might be to determine their current worth. Thoughts?

2. When it comes to online resources, Kovel's can rarely be beaten.
It's what we refer library patrons to, and they are pretty much the collectibles "industry" standard.

I'm not 100% certain they price baseball cards, but I wouldn't be surprised.

3. I'd go buy a Beckett Baseball Card Plus magazine
Fairly comprehensive listings and probably easier to use than any online Price Guide for looking up large numbers of cards.

4. just a caution...
...sports cards do not have the value they did for a time. So don't use an outdated price guide. They, like beanie babies and Avon collectibles, have not maintained value at the peak. Just don't want you to be highly disappointed.
