Problem: Article: Cities that have NBA teams tend to generate more interest in basketball cards, which means your cards will be worth more money. If you don't live in a city with an NBA team, see if you can find one nearby and go there to sell your cards. You can find a list of every NBA team and their home cities at http://www.nba.com/teams. If you don't live near a city with an NBA team, don't worry. You can still sell your basketball cards. You just might not get as much money. Your cards don't need to feature players on the NBA team from the city you're trying to sell them in. Sports card shops are a nice place to sell your basketball cards because all you need to do is bring in your collection of cards, have them appraised, and then accept whatever the shop offers. The downside to selling basketball cards to a sports card shop is that they may offer you less money than the cards are worth to make a profit. If you have a lot of lower-valued basketball cards, a sports card shop may be an easy way to quickly make some money off them. However, if you have high-valued basketball cards, you may want to hold onto them and sell them somewhere else for more money. Online marketplaces like eBay and Craigslist are both places you can sell your basketball cards. By selling your cards online, you get to decide how much you want to charge for them. Just make sure the price you're asking for is reasonable or you may not get any buyers. Do some research to see what other sellers are charging for the same basketball cards. Make individual listings for your basketball cards in case people are searching for one specific card. In the description for each listing, include the condition of the card, the year it was produced, the card brand, the featured player, and if it's autographed. Sometimes, card shops and collectors won't buy basketball cards that are particularly common or worthless. If you have a lot of low-valued cards you can't get rid of, try selling them in bulk at a garage sale or flea market. You may have an easier time finding buyers who are looking for cheap basketball cards. Sports card shows are traveling events that feature a variety of collectors who buy and sell sports cards. Search online for something like "Sports card shows coming to New York" to see if there are any shows that will be traveling through your area. Since you'll be dealing with serious collectors, sports card shows are a good place to sell valuable cards for a higher price. Depending on the show, you may need to call in advance and schedule an appointment to sell your cards. Some shows are more like conventions, where you'll need to pay a fee to attend and sell your cards.
