Frequently Asked Questions
Base cards are ideal for collectors completing team or season sets. They're widely available and usually inexpensive, making them great for hobbyists. However, they hold limited investment value—even graded base cards rarely command high prices. For higher returns, focus on autographed cards, rookie cards, and memorabilia cards.
A football card’s value depends on demand and condition. High-profile players, card rarity, and print volume influence demand. Condition is graded by organizations like PSA; the closer a card is to a Gem Mint 10 rating, the higher its market value.
You can sell football cards through forums, marketplaces like eBay, or a trading card shop. For the best value, get your card graded and evaluated at a trusted dealer like Bleecker Trading. Expert evaluation helps establish an accurate market value, ensures authenticity, and boosts buyer confidence.
Selling through a card shop connects you with serious collectors and investors—people who know what they’re looking for and are willing to pay more for quality cards. In-person sales offer a major advantage: buyers can inspect the card firsthand, reducing hesitation and increasing the chance of a strong offer.
