Worth the money?

I was browsing ebay recently and came across this....

It's a signed NFL football card of Reggie White. Who played for the Eagles and Packers. I am not too sure about these sorts of things value wise when it comes to memorabilia, but it certainly looks authentic. My question is...if I purchase it for the $70 price, think I could resell it for 2 times as much elsewhere?

 

It is possible if a lot of people will bid on it if you want to auction it. You can also hang out in sports forums and see if they have a buy and sell section over there.

 

I think it is possible to sell this on for more, but I would look to see what other similar signed cards like this are going for before making a decision.

 

I checked ebay and signed Reggie White items are going for as much as $1,000 plus. Only saw one card, and it is going for $24.99 in a bid. But e-bayers don't really bid on items anymore so I am not sure of that particular cards value in a flat price scenario. But his signed stuff is up for high sale prices. I probably won't buy it now though because it's a novelty item and I have more important things to do with my money at this time. I was trying to just gauge how much it could possibly be worth at resale is all. When I see stuff like this, I always think what if it is that one item that could set me for at least 5 years financially.

 

Anyway, ensure the real value of the card you are going to buy. Ask a card expert.

 

I hovered over the photos and I see the slightly bent corners but there's no stain. Some trading cards have that plastic like covering or film that protects the paper part? That seems to be eroding a bit, hence it shows as a stain. I'd imagine the card is in decent condition for something the seller has had for 8 years. But yes that would hurt the value. I guess that's why it's only listed for $70 instead of maybe $700.

 

The listing says it's a ROOX card. I guess that's the brand?

 

I checked the listing again, and it's only $49 now. How about you wait until the last 12 hours before deciding whether you should buy it or not? The seller might still lower the price you know?
