Okay, so today I’m diving into the world of baseball cards, specifically the Joe Mauer cards. I’ve been digging through my old collection, and it got me thinking about how to figure out what, if anything, they’re worth.
First, I grabbed all my Joe Mauer cards. I laid them out on the table, and Man, it’s kind of a trip down memory lane seeing these. Some are in pretty good shape, others… well, let’s just say they’ve been loved.
Figuring Out What I Have
- Different Years, Different Sets: I noticed right away that I’ve got cards from different years and different sets. Some are Topps, some are Upper Deck, some are Donruss… it’s a mixed bag. I realized I needed to organize them first.
- Sorting by Year and Brand:I created some simple Piles. sorted them by year first, and then by the brand. It seemed like the easiest way to start getting a handle on what I had.
Now, finding the values of these cards, that’s where it starts to get interesting, The next step, is to research, research, and research!
After organizing the cards, I found the one that might be worth something is 2001 Bowman Chrome Joe Mauer Rookie Card. It’s been kept in a protective sleeve since I got it, so it’s in great shape. Fingers crossed!
