Possible Sale - Pricing Opinions? Lots of Photos

[justinhamlin]

I think this might be the best place, but if a Mod feels otherwise, please move it.

I have been doing some research on what I think I should charge for a lot like this, however, would love to get some additional feedback on what everyone thinks I could sell this for.

I am not listing this here, per se, however, if someone wants to PM me an offer or email me an offer, please feel free to get in contact with me.

This is my entire collection, I am holding nothing back, actually, tossing a few more things in. Would prefer to sell locally as shipping would be a pain. I am located in Southern California

Think I could get $100-150 for it? Less? More?

Here is my list of what I have, includes baseball, basketball, hockey and football, as well as miscellaneous items such as magazines, beckett guides, mini baseball bats, etc:

realistically, besides the 89 UD griffey, most of the rest of the stuff isnt in demand- i think youd spend as much shipping the lot as you would actually get for it- most people have no need for late 80s-early 90s stuff any more...

That is basically my thought, hence why I would want to sell it local, preferably through Craigslist or a forum such as this with local members. I know that the era in which I collected was the mass-production era, just wondering if doing anything with this is possible.

What would other sale options be, do you think?

Or at this point, would I be better off donating 90% of it and selling the 10% worth anything>

[palantri]

you can try selling a couple decent cards on ebay- the griffey ud for example- but id try local sales, most people who buy online dont really have interest in the mass produced stuff. good luck though

Thanks for the feedbck

Any thoughts on value/price if I were to list it on CL? Or also an opinion if there are any So Cal members here who actively buy lots?

[justinhamlin]

anyone? bueller? just looking for a gauge from people who are more involved in this hobby than I am....

Card shops that I have worked for as well as myself generally pay $1 a thousand cards for the late 80's early 90's some of the singles you have might increase that a little bit not a ton

PM me a list of the decent stuff please...

PM me a list of the decent stuff please...

Check the first post. I have not gone through everything, hell, I havent gone through 10% of it. All the cards in the photos are the ones I had in plastic sleeves from 20 years ago.
