Posted by tradingcards in Hockey.1 comment so far
An interesting development in the sports trading card industry is the fact that the NHL offers the ability to auction for cards on their official website. At NHL.com, you can find cards up for auction and you can actually find good deals.
As it becomes more popular, I imagine that the prices will be driven up to the point that it won’t be a good place to shop. But for now, you can find great deals. Here are a few:
Current Bid: $17
Current Bid: $10
Current Bid: None

Beckett is perhaps the biggest name in the industry. Their grading service is superb and very reputable. If you have a card graded by them, you can have complete confidence that they will do a good job.
Card Trade readers have named Beckett Grading Service as the best in the industry for six years in a row.
The cost of their service runs from $6 to $25 per card. However, if you are part of their collector’s club, the price can be as low as $2 per card.

Classic Football Cards March 4, 2007

When you think of older sports trading cards, the first sport that comes to mind is baseball. However, football cards of the 1950′s are some of the highest quality cards ever produced. They are magnificent looking and are rising in value every year. Here are some of my favorites:
Doak Walker
This card was created in 1950 and is one of the earliest Doak Walker cards. It’s a great looking card and it’s value has risen almost to almost double of what it was only ten years ago.
Otto Graham
Graham is one of the best quarterbacks of all-time and this is one of his most valuable cards. It’s stunning colors have survived since it’s 1951 release. A mint condition card can fetch a very high asking price.
Norm Van Brocklin
This Van Brocklin card of him on the Los Angeles Rams was debuted in 1953. It’s a very popular card of the era and is looked upon as the best Van Brocklin card ever produced.
