I have some old cards I will be looking to get rid of, and was wondering what the best ways are to do that these days. Card shops? ebay?

What do you consider old?

If you have a T206, I'll take it off your hands.

old cards
Define "old cards". Are you talking pre-1970 or shite from the 80's and 90's?

1958 Topps Willie Mays
1961 Topps Roger Maris
1959 Topps Hank Aaron

61 Maris is $200 because of 61.
The other two, are they rookies?
I just looked, they not rookies I would say $50 max each

If you don’t instantly know the rookie year of Mays or Aaron then you should not be claiming you have an idea of how much these cards go for. Without knowing the grade of the card, it is impossible to suggest a price.
The Aaron could be worth several hundred dollars depending on grade.
Admit it, you just made up random numbers and have no idea what the market it for these cards.

I would keep them.

How much does it cost to get a card graded? I’m assuming you have to send it somewhere to do that
Posted on 7/13/18 at 8:11 am to bee Rye
Try here. I think it’s like $5-$20 depending on shipping cost.
ANd the best way to figure how much your card could sell for is to check eBay for how much others are selling it for. To compare apples to apples, you need to compare with similarly graded cards. I don’t know anyone that will Buy cards on eBay with out it being graded.
And check a few different sellers. Some people set outrageous prices just to see if someone bites and is not the true market for you card

If you are in New Orleans bring it to Frank's Baseball Cards.

I may be interested. Got a couple questions:
(1) Does it come with the bubble gum?
(2) What flavor bubble gum??

I'm no expert, but I've heard the value of sports memorabilia has gone down significantly within the past decade or so. I was at a collector shop about a year ago and they were discounting all their sports related items.

Depends on condition.
The Mays in mint condition can go for about $200; in good condition about $70. The Maris will go for about $200 in mint, $80 for good. Aaron mint is about $120; in good about $45.
If you want to sell them, do it yourself on e-bay or something. If you try to sell to a dealer, you'll be lucky to get half. They gotta profit.

I'll give you $40 and a handshake for all three.

If you’re on Facebook, join a group page called Grand Slam Box Breaks. Guy who moderates the group is very knowledgeable about cards and their values.

He said a price.
That is the worth to him.
Just like any collectable
Only worth what someone ACTUALLY pays
