Bryce Harper Lot opinions

[jrodlc08]

I have a 120 card lot of Harpers (non autos), 5 BGS graded (1 of which is a 10)
5 - numbered colors from 2012, and another 100 card mix of chrome/paper/B.Best etc from 2011 and 2012...

here is my question...

Do you guys think I should list it all in one huge lot or should I break it a part

ex: - graded cards, 2011 lot, 2012 lot

etc...

Any opinions would be appreciated

My experience indicates you are better off breaking it apart in several mini lots, than sell as one big lot

takes more time to do so, but you will probably get a lot more when done


as a little silly example, say you had like 10, Bowman Chrome BCP1 cards of his. YOu list all 10 in one lot, you might get like $70-80 for them

But if you sold them as like 2 , separate 5 card lots, you are more likely to get closer to $10 for each, so you would get closer to $100 in return

if that helps

thanks ... I was thinking that as well... I have been collecting him for a while and figured it was about time to unload...

For Harper, I would sell singles if I was selling them all right now.

I would sell the graded cards one at a time. Another way to sell lots is to choose one of each card and make a lot of 5 different or more. Collectors just starting out are looking to get as many Harper's as they can.

And something I learned from Brentandbecca, don't compete with yourself. If you have 5 BGS 9's list one at time until sold and same with the lots. Spread your selling over a few weeks and maybe Harper will have multi HR game and you'll still have cards to cash in.

Good luck.

definitely break it apart. This isn't even a question. I listed a lot of 200 harpers that I did not have time to break apart and list, and I got about $500 less than I was expecting/would have got from breaking it up.

This is a great point but you dont need to spread it out so far. A better way to explain this is dont list your 5 graded ones to all end on Sunday within the same hour. You would certainly be competing with yourself at that point. I find just having them every other day helps.
