Looking up a Basketball Card’s Value
The search results will show basketball card prices, based on recently sold cards… hopefully just like yours. The “worth” that initially shows is the average price (including shipping) of the results showing on the page.
Use the Checkboxes
If you get a lot of results that don’t match your basketball card, try adding more details to your search. You can also use the checkboxes to get an average price. Pick a few comparable items (“comps”). This gives you a much more accurate estimate of what your basketball card is worth.
Graded Cards
To look up graded basketball cards, enter the grading company and grade, for example PSA 9 or BGS 9.
What to do Next
Once you’ve gone through and searched for the value of your basketball cards using our price guide, you have several different options:
If they’re valuable: You can either hold onto the cards, perhaps get them graded if not already, and see if they appreciate in value over time. Alternatively, you sell it to a local card shop, but keep in mind dealers pay wholesale prices… they have to make a profit after all, and selling a large collection takes a considerable amount of time and resources… so don’t expect to get eBay prices for your basketball cards when you sell to a dealer. If you have the time and patience, you can sell it yourself on eBay and get a competitive price. Read our guide to selling on eBay.
If not: Basketball cards don’t have to be worth money to be considered valuable. Card collecting has been a beloved hobby that has been passed through generations. Each card has sentimental value to someone: where they found it, how they traded for it, who gave it to them. If your cards aren’t worth money, they could be worth some memories to a relative or a stranger. Put them on Craigslist, take them to a card shop, donate them, or hold onto them to give to the next generation.

The most expensive basketball cards of November-December - Hobby: Collectible cards - Blogs
Hobby: Collectible cards
Blog
Hello everyone!
After a short break, the top most expensive basketball cards are back. Today we will capture 2 months - November and December.
In order for the cards of different periods to be presented in the top, I divided it into three parts: before the 90s, the 90s and the first half of the 00s and the last 10 years.
Let's go from new cards to old ones (most often this means an increase in cost).
So, the top 4 most expensive new cards.
4) In fourth place is a 1/1 LeBron James card from Flawless 2015-16 with the NBA logo. They paid $10,300 for it.
3) Next is newcomer Steph Curry from Topps Chrome 2009-10. The gold parallel in this collection has a circulation of 50 copies. Added to this is the almost perfect condition of the card, and the total price is $10,600.
2) And the same amount was paid for a Karl-Anthony Towns card with a mourning patch dedicated to Flip Saunders of Flawless 2015-16.
1) And in the first place, 2 league logos and two Golden State stars - the same Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. It's the same Flawless collection from last season. The price of this card is $12,000 without one dollar.
Further older cards. I will say in advance that all 4 are from the second half of the 90s
4-3) And open the top two cards of Michael Jordan with a jersey and an autograph. In the first case, the card in this form was inserted into the blocks of the Upper Deck 19 collection98-99 - a kind of parallel with the autograph with a circulation of 23 copies. $10,999 was paid for the card. And the second card in the collection of the previous season was a regular unnumbered jersey. For a re-release in 2013, an autograph was at stake in the Jordan collection. The resulting result was estimated at $15,000.
2) Next, another overlay of the top newcomer from Topps Chrome. This time it's Kobe Bryant and the 1995-96 collection. Plus, the card itself is in excellent condition. Price $17500.
1) And in the first place is the red parallel Metall Universe PMG by Michael Jordan with an edition of only 100 copies. In addition, the card number 23/100 is of additional interest. It should also be noted that the card was sent to the PSA for an authenticity check, but not for a condition assessment. The rating would not be high - edge damage (not rare for cards of this sub-series) is visible to the naked eye. As a result, the card was sold for $21453.
Well, the oldest top contains only the classic rookie cards of future NBA legends.
4) And this list opens with Wilt Chamberlain's map from the Fleer collection from 1961. The condition of the card is 9 points out of 10 possible, and the price is $32,211.
3-2) Next, two cards from rookie Michael Jordan. Moreover, for a rarer 9-point card from Star-85, they paid more ($40,207) than for a 10-point card from Fleer-86 ($35,999).
1) Well, absolutely out of competition is the triple card of Larry Bird, Julius Irving and Magic Johnson - the main newcomers of the 1979 season-80 from Topps. Three members of the Hall of Fame + the perfect condition of the card itself gave a total of $96423.
Thank you for your attention!

Vedomosti. Sports compare two North American leagues in terms of key financial indicators.
Club value
As of December last year, Forbes puts the total value of 31 NHL (National Hockey League) clubs at $19.555 billion. all 30 basketball clubs - $ 71.405 billion. Of the unpleasant for North American basketball - a giant lead gap: 26 clubs together cost only 2.4 times more than the main four. But 14 NBA franchises cross the $2 billion mark at once. In the NHL, only five organizations have reached the $1 billion mark.
The most expensive teams in both leagues are registered in New York, which is not surprising: the city has developed the world's largest market for entertainment, including sports. As a result, the hockey Rangers are listed at $1.65 billion, and the basketball Knicks are $5.8 billion. The Rangers won the last Stanley Cup more than a quarter of a century ago and have not made the playoffs in the previous three seasons. The Knicks, one of the basketball league's most hopeless underdogs, are doing even worse: they've been eliminated three times in the past decade, including two stumbles in the first round.
But the Knicks' cash run isn't stopped by the dismal results or the coronavirus. For the first pandemic, 2020, the cost of the franchise increased by 9%. The Rangers, by comparison, kept capital despite the epidemiological restrictions, but could not increase it. And in the last pre-pandemic, 2019, they rose only by 6%.
In addition to the Rangers, the top five most valuable clubs in the NHL are Toronto ($1.5 billion), Montreal ($1.34 billion), Chicago ($1.085 billion) and Boston ($1 billion). The Knicks compete with the Golden State Warriors ($5.6 billion), Los Angeles Lakers ($5.5 billion), Chicago Bulls ($3.65 billion), Boston Celtics ($3. 55 billion).
The three poorest NHL franchises are Columbus ($310 million), Florida ($295 million), and Arizona ($285 million). The cheapest NBA organizations rank among the top five most expensive in the NHL: Minnesota Timberwolves ($1.55 billion), New Orleans Pelicans ($1.525 billion), Memphis Grizzlies ($1.5 billion).

TV rights
Spectator interest determines the difference between the financial situation of basketball and hockey in North America. In 2019NBA TV ratings nearly hit historic bottom with 9.8 million viewers in Game 4 of the Finals. The NHL at the same time reached a record figure for 25 years, but it was lower: 8.33 million spectators watched the seventh game of the final between St. Louis and Boston. On average, just under 13 million watched all matches of the basketball final, and only 4.33 million watched the hockey final. 90,003 90,002 In 2011, the NHL entered into a 10-year contract with NBC - the company bought the television rights to show matches in the United States for $ 2 billion. In Canada, broadcasts in accordance with the 12-year contract concluded in 2013 are managed by Rogers Communications. Contract price — $4.95 billion
The NBA, under the current agreement with broadcasters, earns $2.4 billion in just one season. In the near future, the league's leadership must determine new conditions for its partners. Forbes claims that the bosses of the basketball association intend to receive a contract for nine years and $75 billion. The Rangers are selling seats in the stands for $58-$289. The Knicks are in the $40-$227 range. But Madison Square Garden, where both teams play, deploys 1,600 more seats for basketball players - in other arenas, ball tamers also have a numerical advantage, which means slightly higher profits.

Players
Both leagues have a tight salary cap, but the NBA has a 1.37 times higher salary cap . A huge increase in the cost of a TV contract, if it occurs, would give the Basketball Association the opportunity to increase the amount dramatically - from the current $ 112.4 million to $ 171 million by 2025.
The NHL is also discussing the possibility of increasing the ceiling, but we are talking about much more modest money. Now clubs cannot spend more than $81.5 million on hockey players’ salaries. It is expected that organizations will receive another $1 million from next season.
