Alright, let’s talk about Bart Starr football cards. I’ve been messing around with these for a while now, and it’s kinda fun to see what they’re worth. So, I started digging into this whole thing, and here’s what I found out.
Getting Started
First off, I had to figure out which Bart Starr cards are even out there. Turns out, the guy’s got cards in at least 12 different sets. That’s a lot! I started by just looking around online, you know, checking out some websites and stuff. I found out that his cards from 1957 and 1961 are the ones that have been changing in price the most lately. That got me curious, so I kept going.
Figuring Out the Prices
Next, I wanted to know what these cards are actually worth. I used this app called CollX – you just snap a picture of the card, and it tells you the price. Pretty neat, right? I also saw that some websites list prices based on how good the card looks, like if it’s in perfect shape or kinda beat up. They use words like “NM” (near mint) and “VG” (very good). I’m still learning all those terms, but it’s interesting.
Checking Out Auctions
Then I got into looking at where these cards are sold. A lot of them go through auctions, like on eBay. I saw that a really nice Bart Starr card from 1970 (it was graded PSA 9, which is apparently super good) sold recently. I tried to find more info on that sale, but that’s all the detail I could get.
Why Some Cards Are Worth More
I also learned that some cards are worth more than others. It’s not just about how old they are. Some things that make a card valuable are if the corners are sharp, if there are no creases, and if the picture is still bright and not scratched. Plus, some cards are just rarer or more popular. Like, rookie cards (the first card made for a player) are usually a big deal.
My Takeaway
So, yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to with these Bart Starr football cards. It’s been a fun little project, and I’m still learning a lot. I discovered that checking prices and the overall value of the card collection is actually doable. Also, finding out which card is more popular and rare is not that hard. It’s cool to see how much these cards can be worth and how the prices change over time. I might even start collecting them for real. Who knows?
