Look at Sold Listings for Your Card
A good idea to start with is to always check the expired listings, or rather, sold and completed listings for your card.
This way, you’ll be able to get a rough idea as to what price to use for your card.
You don’t want to set a price too low, but you also don’t want to go too high as that will easily turn away potential interested buyers. So you’ll want to find the sweet spot.
Usually, a good idea of how to do this is to see what has worked in the past for other sellers.
The way you do this is you’ll want to take a look at the sold listings on eBay for your specific card. So let’s say you’re selling a 1970 Topps Nolan Ryan card. Here are the steps to see sold items.
- Type your query into the search engine at the top. In this case, “1970 Topps Nolan Ryan”.
- On the left-hand side, you’ll be able to see filters. Scroll down to the “Show Only” filter and check “Completed Items” and “Sold Items”.
- Find deals that look similar to your card. This way, you’ll have a better idea of what prices to use.
