Just picked up 5,000 2008-10 unopened packs ... what would you do?

[mouschi]

So yeah - I picked up about 5,000 unopened packs of retail stuff from 2008-2010 (baseball, basketball & football mainly) from a collector for cheap. Stuff from Allen & Ginter, 206, Topps, Heritage, HIT, Upper Deck, Philadelphia, Mayo, Panini, Elite, Prestige, Chicle, etc. I am still tingling over it all :)

What would you do with all this goodness?

What would I do? I'd definitely give them all to a great member on this site. His username is andrewhoya, I'm sure he'd be interested.


I would split them into a few different groups.

Group 1: Keep for myself
Group 2: Keep for myself
Group 3: Donate to SCF to use for contests/giveaways
Group 4: Sell on eBay
Group 5: Keep for myself

Wow, you gotta feel like a kid in his own candy store, lol. Savor every moment! Since I'm a set collector, I'd just open up anything that gets me closer to my goal of completing sets and sell/donate the rest.

bust it all keep what you want, sell the rest

[deemurdock]

I wouldd sell a good amount, or take orders on players from various members and if/when you bust players make lots to sell for cheap, or sell a portion unopened.

Just as an 'FYI', selling packs on SCF is not allowed per SCF rules (unless you are a staff member or sponsor):

I Trading/Selling:

SCF prides itself on its daily traders and will continue to do so as we have certain expectations that keep our members coming back every day.

Members cannot trade/sell any of the following:

.
Packs/Boxes – No selling of packs or boxes of cards is permitted on SCF unless you are a staff member or sponsor. Factory sealed boxes of cards can be traded, but not packs.

Opening the packs and selling the cards may be best.

once you're done opening all the packs, just go somewhere where you can just throw your cards in the air and make it rain.

or put all the empty wrappers in a pile and jump into them.
