Top 25 Most Expensive Baseball Cards Sold on Ebay in 2019 (January - March)

[@michaelfickes1634]

You are welcome. The reason the vintage cards have that kind of value is because people like me used to put them in our bicycle spokes!

[@BITGBREAKS]

Or rubber bands around them in stacks to keep them "organized" lol

[@speedracer8996]

kept mine in a binder with plastic sleeves that I would take them in and out so now the corners get messed up

[@Mike.Jones2]

My father-in-law said his mom burned his cards while he was away at college

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

Yeah, cuz they were a toy for kids, not an investment for a portfolio. I gave all mine to a kid I knew who loved cards and had no dad in his life. Maybe that cost me a few bucks, but it was a magical moment in that kid's pretty barren life. The whole card "market" thing is pathetic: men like Comic Book guy who ruined a toy for kids....

[@davidjoyce522]

Wow, some nice sales!Love the Roberto Clemente card!

[@BITGBREAKS]

Was surprised about that murray! Great video just subbed!

[@kylemarsh9881]

you know the hobby is sick when a mike trout card sells for almost as much as a 100 year old joe jackson card

[@tewksburydriver8624]

The hobby will be dead in 15-20 years, especially the vintage stuff. Most serious collectors will be dead or retired by then and kids today could care less about a Joe Jackson card. Supply will far exceed demand, except for a few immortals and popular HOF'ers.

[@kylemarsh9881]

@@tewksburydriver8624 how is joe jackson not an immortal in baseball tho.

[@tewksburydriver8624]

kyle marsh ... he is in a historical sense, but not in collectible popularity. That card was no doubt bought by someone over 50. I’m 43, collected cards since early 80’s, I’d rather have a Jordan rookie than most vintage cards. Get into the younger demographic and they don’t even know who he is, so it’s even worse.

[@kylemarsh9881]

@@tewksburydriver8624 eventually any one who is a casual to series baseball fan will find out who joe jackson is. i don't think anyone alive today has ever even seen him play and he's still worth a small fortune and just getting more valuable as his cards get older.

[@tewksburydriver8624]

kyle marsh ... what your not seeing is the hobby is comprised 90% white males over 40. Every kid collected cards in the 50’s- 80’s. Those same people who are now adults are the ones buying cards, expensive ones. Today’s kids for the most part do not collect baseball cards. A fraction of previous generations. When I was a kid there were card shops everywhere, card shows every month, and kids rode their bikes to grab a few packs of cards. Everything has changed in the hobby and I’m telling you, the inventory will far exceed demand within 20 years. I travel to card shows and they are ghost towns when it comes to younger people. I like cards because I collected as a kid. My 13 year old son who plays every sport could care less about cards and that goes for all of his friends too. There will be exceptions for the really popular players, but beyond that values will dive in my opinion. It is very hot right now but only because 40 plus year olds with money and nostalgia are supporting the hobby.

[@jeremylewellen]

I used to be a major collector of baseball cards in my youth mostly because of my grandfather. He was drafted by the Phillies at his prime and I was the next male in the family because he had no sons. I would always trade around to get as many of the old cards as I could just to show him what I found. I had so many it was CRAZY. I sold them to a dealer when I was in college (some on eBay) when the new brands went too far with the prices. What a shame.

[@kevinwade5681]

That's cool dude, I bet he loved when you showed him what you found.

[@STEAMBOLTANNIE]

I am 63 years old and my parents are gone now and we were cleaning out the house and I guess my mom saved all my baseball cards from when I was a kid...(two shoe boxes full). Don't know what I got but some will be valuable. I have a Reggie Jackson and a Babe ruth and Micky too!

How did you get this info? Not calling you out or anything, just wanting to know for my self. Ebay only archives up to 90 days, correct? It'd be nice if we could find a way to search like "baseball cards" and in the criteria do like 2018 or something.

[@FedorSaku]

Hi. What is the music used in this video? Like especially first and last.

[@dbpyr2]

May I ask you a question. I have inherited a good number of HofF baseball cards from the late 50's and early to mid 60's. Do you think I should have them graded by PSA before offering them on Ebay? Is the expense of doing so justified? Thank you. Enjoying your videos!

[@11cards93]

It greatly depends on which specific cards they are and in what condition they are in. Can you give me some examples of the cards? What kind of shape are they in?

[@dbpyr2]

@@11cards93 For example, 1957 Mays #10. 1959 Gibson #514. 1960 Aaron #300. What I know from viewing many videos is that PSA numbers like 7 are hard to get. These look darn good to me, fairly sharp corners, fairly good centering, but who knows. Thanks for your time.

[@TheSputerbaugh]

If the cards will grade out above 7 it is worth it. Sharp corners, no blemishes or oils trapped somewhere on the cards and decent centering. If you think they would grade below that then you are typically better selling them as is. PSA cost can be substantial though.

[@dbpyr2]

Thanks!

It's much better to sell to me 😄😄

[@johnpowell5538]

I bought a bayfront home in 1998 and my baseball card collection was used as collateral for a loan. But I sold my 1933 goudey yellow Ruth card grade sga 4 for $3300 in 2006 on eBay. Man I wish I had that card back. Ugh!!

That is a really nice looking PSA 5 Mantle. Really nice centering. I wonder if it has something on the back that knocked it down, it looks more like a 7.

[@djquiksilva]

[@kouyang496]

What about the Mike Trout Bowman Chrome Rookie Gold and Orange Refractors that got $90K and $100K+?

[@speedracer8996]

that was this year? I think he was just showing the cards that sold for the highest on Ebay this year so far

[@kouyang496]

Speedracer Yes, it was this year. But I believe those auctions were in April, so perhaps there will be an updated video soon. I'm not going to ruin his thunder, although I might have already. Expect a lot of Mike Trouts if there is an updated video. It's crazy, price records are being broken everyday, and by pretty much the same seller too. So I personally think something fishy is going on, but that's just me.

[@11cards93]

Updated video coming at the end of June. It'll be interesting to see how the list turns out, I'm also curious.

[@Messiah717]

tewksbury driver Never make a car payment

[@tewksburydriver8624]

Chump Johnson ... I agree debt is bad for the most part, but honestly there is nothing wrong with a responsible car payment if you are fiscally sound. It’s called personal finances for a reason, not every aspect is one size fits all.

[@chrisj197438]

tewksbury driver No car payment my whole life has been the best money decision of my life. It may work for some people but I’d be willing to bet that car payments hurt more people than anything else.

[@tewksburydriver8624]

Chump Johnson .. I certainly agree that not having a car payment is better than having one, but high interest credit card debt and student loans are much bigger problems people face. A car is a tool, depreciated one, but necessary. I have a truck payment and a mortgage and that is my only debt. I pay over 20% into retirement accounts and make extra principal payments on my mortgage. Car payment is fine if you are smart and make good financial decisions as a whole. Different situation for everyone.

Thank you for this great Top 10 list. But the fact that Mike Trout's cards demand so much money is just stupid. Today's collectors are out of their minds. I mean, what if he gets injured?

[@johannwilder1437]

Noggahide Gaming, you can’t be serious. Look into stats of the elite players in past. Ruth had career batting average over 40 points higher, and he wasn’t even a contact hitter. Cobb had 65 points higher. Plus Ruth’s slugging was almost 150 points higher. Trout is great. Probably top 5 in this generation. But I wouldn’t even place him top 50 all time yet. I’m not exaggerating. Baseball has a long history of phenomenal players.

[@golfmaniac007]

what do you mean not close? ruth, gehrig, williams had their stats padded playing against weaker opponents. throw trout back to those days and you will see who the real babe ruth is. griffey jr, bonds, trout......these guys are just more athletic.

[@johannwilder1437]

golfmaniac007, what “weaker opponents” in the past are you referring to? Walter Johnson during the seasons when he had 1.50 ERA? Pitching, of all things, has not changed. It never was dependent on strength or training. Jim Kaat, an announcer who also played in the says of legends like Sandy Koufax, says that his curveball is STILL better than anyone even today.
