Although when most people think of collectible cards, they automatically think baseball, basketball cards are actually incredibly popular. There are thousands on the market and many of them depict some of the best players that ever hit the courts. If you are interested in basketball and looking for a valuable collectible, this may just be the perfect fit. Basketball card collecting is a great hobby for kids, and chances are, you may just enjoy them as well.
Let’s take a look at some of the most valuable kinds of collectible basketball cards that are currently on the market. While the most popular are undoubtedly the ones that feature star players, there are a few that may surprise you with their overall value. Once you know what to look for, you can start your search for basketball cards in your local area, at flea markets, and especially online. There are numerous online auction sites that offer collectible basketball cards, and you just never know which treasures you might uncover on any given day.
The first thing to think about when you are trying to find valuable basketball cards is the year that you are interested in. Whether you remember a favorite championship, or there was a big year for a certain team, these are usually the most valuable basketball cards that you can find. For example, the cards produced during the Laker’s domination of the NBA are very valuable, as are the cards that were produced when the association was first formed.
There are also many collectible basketball cards that are highly sought after due to their designs or for the events that they commemorate. As an example, the basketball cards that are produced for Olympic teams are incredibly popular, especially for years that the United States was victorious. Many of these cards will feature your favorite players over the years and this is a great way to add to your collection.
By far however, the most valuable basketball cards are the ones that are signed by the actual players. While there are some reprints on the market, they are not going to be as valuable as the ones that have authentic autographs. The overall sticker price and the value will be determined by the player that signed the card as well as the year that it was produced. It’s a good idea to start looking for your favorite players, but always keep an eye out for a rare card, especially if it is older. You may just stumble on a gold mine if you keep your eyes open.
Lastly, basketball cards that promote novelty teams, such as the Harlem Globetrotters are also surprisingly valuable. You can typically find these at garage sales, since the owners may not realize that there is a market for these types of cards. This is a great way to easily find very valuable cards and you’ll typically only have to pay pennies on the dollar when you shop garage sales or auction sites for these basketball cards.
