My name is Walt Case I own Card Traders of Austin in Austin Texas. We've been in business
for about sixteen years and sell a variety of sports cards. One of the questions that's
frequently asked is how do I buy baseball cards. You can buy baseball cards in any number
of ways. You can certainly buy them from a hobby shop like mine. Where you have a chance
to come in and look at the cards, see what the cards look like. Determine if it's a card
that you would like to collect based on the price of the card. And based on the design
of the card. You can also buy cards through the internet. There are a number of internet
sites that allow you to do that. There are also card shows that are held nationally all
over the country where dealers set up and you can buy cards. You can also buy cards
from individuals. So there are any number of ways to purchase your baseball cards. The
things I think you need to lookout for is always buy cards from someone you can trust.
Whether it be your local hobby store, or someone that you developed a relationship with online.
Or through a card show. Also the trust factor becomes very critical if you are buying expensive
cards to make sure you are not buying a counterfeit card. There are a number of ways to check
on a card to see if it's counterfeit probably the best way is to take it to your local hobby
shop and let the owner who is very experienced in determining counterfeit cards determine
if what you are about to buy is a real card or if it's a fake card. Many people get burned
in this industry by buying counterfeit cards. So always be on your toes, buy what you like,
buy what you enjoy, and visit your local hobby shop to get the best value available.
