Sports Fans Unite! Sports Card Wanted

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 02:10:37 +0000

Depending on the sport of your choice, sport cards can be valuable, but hard to find or they can be less valuable and nearly everywhere you turn. Perhaps it is a certain card that you want- a certain player’s rookie card maybe, but where can you find the card you are looking for?

If you are lucky enough to have a sports memorabilia shop close by, you can begin your search for your cards there. If the shop does not have the actual card you are looking for, you can more than likely post a “sports card wanted” ad listing exactly what or who you are looking for. Be careful about posting personal contact information, perhaps have people contact you at the shop itself. You may get quicker results if you have cards of your own to trade.

Another option for finding your wanted sports cards is online. Search either Ebay or Craigslist for sports card wanted- and see if you can trade or buy the cards that you are looking for. Again, be very careful with personal contact information and use your best judgment when buying things online.

If you are a student, you can possibly post a “sports card wanted” advertisement on the bulletin board or in the school paper. Be as specific as possible when posting your ad to avoid an onslaught of items that you do not need or want. If you find that you get a lot of response to an ad you might consider forming a club to further facilitate future trades of this kind- you will find the sports cards that you want, and have just made new friends and contacts in the bargain.

Sports cards can be a time consuming, but fascinating hobby. Some cards are very valuable- and can be more than worth the effort it takes to finding them. If you trade well, you could find yourself in possession of a collection that is more than double the value of what you started with. Of course, some people trade or sell cards only for the fun, or because they have an affection for a certain player. Some people only want the rarest of cards, some people will take whatever card comes their way. Depending on the sport, you may have more than you know what to do with, or you may find yourself searching and barely finding anything at all.

I collect hockey cards. Do I search for the ones that I would like to have? No, not really, but if I run across some, I consider it a good day. I am not dedicated to finding hockey cards- but hey, if someone has a Darius Kaspiritus card laying around, I will not turn my nose up at it!
