I have the box of twenty year aged ball trade cards which I wish to sell. I’m not certain about their value though I have cards similar to Barry Bonds as well as Mark Mcgwire.(from the late 1980’s) what could they be value as well as how do I sell them upon ebay? Is there the improved place to sell them than Ebay?

Ebay fees are getting higher all the time, so make sure that they’re worthwhile before going there. Check completed auctions (use advanced search on the main page) to see what your type of cards sell for.
Ask specific questions on the Sports board on ebay:

There are many sports groups out there just join one and tell people what you have someone will make you an offer. Check either a Beckett or a Tuff Stuff Magazine to find there worth
Agree to check Beckett for value but realize you will probably never get full book value. May want check outlets that will do all the work and sell for you on Ebay, but will cut into your return. Also can check with a large sports collectable store in your area, but again will be less than full value, but a least you would unload them for something if that is what you are after.
You may be sad when you see the actual value of the cards. I can’t give away cards from the 1980-2000. I set up an ebay store that lowered the cost of listing the cards… even at that you pay about $15.00 per month + .06 each to list the cards + 10% when they sell + paypal fees… Hard to make any money on $5.00 cards.
