That's not really what turbotax stated when I entered my question in. Besides I did not ask for the value of my baseball card collection. I have a pretty good idea of what it's worth. I asked a tax question on how I personally can determine the cost basis for my collection when it was gifted to me since I need to know that compared to what I sell it for. If I can just claim $0 as a cost basis, even though that would raise the tax burden, that would be useful information to me...
