In a previous post, I showed you the most valuable baseball cards actually sold on eBay for early May, 2009. Let’s continue looking at the most valuable baseball cards that sold on eBay from the date of that post through today.
1. 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, Yankees, Card #311, Graded PSA 4. This card sold for $11,000 on May 22nd. What some might consider a slight difference in grade, can have a big impact on card value as this sale proves. In the last post, we saw this same card, graded PSA 7, go for almost three times as much money ($32,500).
2. 2008 SP Legendary Cuts Babe Ruth Auto, Yankees, Card #BHC-BR, Number 10 of 10. This card went for a mere $7,000 with a Best Offer. Actually, $7K is a nice realization for a 10 of 10 card for the seller, even if it is the Sultan of Swat.
3. 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, Yankees, Card #311, Graded PSA 2. Our favorite card went for $6,500 with this card grade on May 18.
4. 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth, Yankees, Card #52, Graded PSA 5. This card sold for $4,950 on May 24. One of the most iconic baseball cards, this would be a sweet card to add to any baseball card collection. Incidentally, this card was bought from a seller with less than 97% feedback rating. That takes some guts (or a whole lotta money in the bank) to make a big purchase like that.
I think I see a theme developing here with these valuable cards……………..
5. 1953 Topps Mickey Mantle, Yankees, Card #82, Ungraded (yes, ungraded). The buyer paid $4,157.06 (why not .07??) for this baseball card on May 26. The seller had 100% feedback and backed up the quality of this card, which was deemed to be in Nr Mt. to Mt. condition. Nice pick up for the winning bidder……at a very odd price.

i have hundreds of thouslands baseball,basketball,football,nascar,golf,tennis, hockey and more cards.i not sure how or who too see about selling these.i saw your site and thought you might be looking for more or could derect me which way to go.
Joe, first thing you might want to do is to get yourself a price guide from Beckett or Tuff Stuff and take a look to see if you have any very valuable cards in your lot. If you have thousands of cards, you’ll most likely need to go through the cards yourself first to pick out the ones that might be valuable. Then you could take the cards to at least two local sports card dealers to gauge their interest and see what the cards might be worth. If you want to sell the large lots of your cards, eBay always has listings for large lots.
