Besides auctions? Try
www.naxcom.com. eBay is really your best bet, though. Older cards still sell well, but it depends which ones you have. If all you have are a bunch of late 80's/early 90's HOOPS cards, don't expect much at all.
Rookie cards sell the easiest (depending on the set; Topps usually has really cheap rookies, while SP Authentic and SPx rookies sell quite high), and then come autographs. Jersey cards don't pack much of a punch in price anymore due to overproduction, so you can easily get a Jordan jersey card for less than $100. Base cards? Well, unless it's part of a complete set, including rookies, don't even bother trying to sell them for much.
The #1 rule is this: If the player is popular (Michael Jordan, LeBron James), the card should sell well (excluding base cards). If the player is crap (Tony Delk, Robert Traylor), it won't sell at all unless you come across a set collector. If the player is semi-good (Michael Redd, Ray Allen), the people who usually buy them are player-collectors, but other than that, they're not really highly sought after.
