Welcome to the baseball card price blog, in this blog I write mostly from my own experience as a sports/baseball card collector.  For the most comprehensive baseball card price list out there the best option for me has always been Beckett, although there are many options available to collectors everywhere to include eBay, but I prefer the Beckett family of collectible magazines as my number one resource.

The 1973 Topps Candy lids trading card prices vary in price mainly from player to player depending on the player and of course the grade. Pictured here is the NY Yankees Thurman Munson candy lid. Graded by PSA and issued a 6 as the overall grade, price for this card can vary from $60.00 to about $300.00 depending on the seller. To give you an idea, I purchased a PSA 5 last month for $54.00, so the prices are out there. The best way on eBay to try and analyze the Topps baseball cards price on these cards and any others cards that you are interested in collecting, is to check the eBay auction list.  The buy it now option will not give you a good gauge for the pricing, because someone may want to be fishing for someone to purchase a special card just because they want it, and that collector may be willing to go above the actual listing price just because they need the card asap, based on impulse.

The sellers that sell baseball cards for a living, or as another way to make money, usually will not place the cards like this Topps Candy lids in a buy it now option unless they believe that their price will beat the competitions price.  The key to collecting and being smart with your money is most certainly patience, there is always someone that will come along and sell the card you want at the right price.  I will check back and write about my next 1973 Topps Candy lids card, which will be the Nolan Ryan.  I am trying to complete the set of Topps Candy lids which is a 55 cards set.  The 1973 Nolan Ryan Topps Candy lids graded by PSA as a 5 or 6 will fetch in the $200.00 range, depending on the need for the card at the time of sale.  This card is most certainly the most sought after card.  I will report my sale back on these pages so, wish me luck!
