Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

I realize that the pricing here is pretty unrealistic but I'd like to do my part as much as possible to help make it more accurate. Often when picking up minor league or food/police/store issued cards I get them as sets, not individual cards. Minor league cards even as old as 20 years after they were originally issued are sold in the stadiums and by many sellers as sets, not individual cards. Is it possible to enter a price by the set or could that feature be added? 

Under Set Links --> Pricing, I see the option to enter a set price at the top. 

Thank you! I missed that when I looked.

Someone is going to be disappointed. I just received a bunch of 10-20 year old minor league baseball sets direct from ballpark gift shops for $1 to $3 a set. Someone within the last three years had loaded a number of them at $10 a set. I guess it might be possible they got gouged but I really doubt they paid that much for them. It sounds more like they were inflating prices for trade or sale purposes.

Depends when they bought them. I know if you purchase the sets as they are released, the ones released in the last 15 - 20 years are around $10 - $15. I know the sets I've bought new have been around those prices. I have been able to pick up "left overs" for $3 - $5. Love doing that!

These are mostly sets from the late 1990s to 2010 that had prices put on them in 2015. I understand newer sets being $10-15 but not sets that old without any major big league players in them.

For sports cards, I mostly focus on minor league sets, for both my locol AHL franchise, and for ALL of the Boston Red Sox farm teams. You're quite right that having a future major leaguer in a set increases a sets value, but it's not the only factor. Some sets are produced in greater or lesser quantities than others, some manufacturers are more desireable than others, some sets were available for purchase from team gift shops while others were only available as giveaways or through local businesses (the Pawtucket Red Sox Dunkin' Donuts sets, for example), etc. And of course, the ultimate factor as with all card sets - whether anyone actually wanted it at the time it was released, which determines it's future scarcity. For example, I have well over half of all the Pawtucket Red Sox sets ever made, but there are a few that I've never seen or even met anyone who actually has, like the TCMA 1977 set, despite the teams sustained popularity.
