What is a baseball card worth?

[NiceDocter]

I still get way more excitement out of paying a small amount for something weird and unusual baseball or other sports (and even occasionally non sports) that you just can’t find so easily. The fun to me of collecting is getting something most people don’t have not something that is expensive or popular. A lot of things I have collected over the years are like this…. Some have become expensive or popular over time .

agree with this...although my bargain finds tend to be in a totally different area of collecting. Most of my baseball additions are auction house purchasing exercises!!!!!! The thrill of the hunt is the best!

Found this hans coper pot for the cost of a combo meal at arbys last week!

Some of my absolute favorite cards I picked up for $25-$100. In most cases I didn’t even know said item existed, or have come across it so infrequently as to think I would never own it.

Don’t get me wrong, I still pursue bigger ticket items and buy what I like, but obtaining inexpensive yet obscure items has more significance to me.
