I actually asked this question of a dealer at a show once...what he would want for his whole table. Not a serious offer, we were just chatting about the possibility after I had made an offer on a whole box I was looking through. He gave a serious answer though..."$100,000". I almost fell on the floor considering most of his table was $1 and $5 boxes of jersey cards and Bowman Chrome "rookies" of players that have yet to make the bigs.
But he was serious in believing that was the amount he had into it. I would guess that he had, realistically, $8K - $10K worth of cards.
(Obviously there are many reasonable sellers out there and I'm not extrapolating...just sharing this interesting exchange.)
