After this - I'm out! So Need Help!

highlaem · 02-08-2010, 10:40 PM

Well, I have ordered potentially my last case of 09 SP Authentic. After this, I am going to focus on my 8X10 HOF HB Auto Collection (have a good start).

Long story short, I have 25,000+ Commons, 8,000+ Inserts, 12,000+ Rookies & 2,000+ Serial Numbered. Also, 275+ Jerseys and 70+ Autos. The years are mostly from 1997 - 2009.The question is, how do I get sell this collection the most easy and efficient way?

Is COMC the best way or throw it all on FeeBay? Also, how do you price something like this? I have started to sell huge lots of same year (just sold 2008 Chrome Lot) Thanks for any help!

I have had some good luck with commons. put them in team lots. put 25-50 in each lot and let them run from 99 cents for 7-10 days. i have sold alot for 3-4 dollars. times that by 500 lots it is a 1000 bucks.

lots of work

COMC is good - would do the higher dollar items on feebay (more people see your item). but anything under like $30-40 i would do COMC.

I dont know how much you make or how it would affect you, but I box up commons and donate them to a childrens hospital or the Ronald Mcdonald house.. if you call around you can find a charity that will give you a tax deduction for them that is sizable..

Got a question about that. Do you use "Book Value" when determining the tax write off? If that's the case I could see that working out.

Only if you want the IRS to come down on you.

Lots of plaes have stopped accepting cards anyway. Between 1995 and 2004 I donated over 1 million cards to Childrens Hospital in Boston, local Boys and Girls clubs and local churches.

I used a default value of $40 for every 5000 count box I donated.
