Your best bet is to just sell them in large lots by years and take what you can get. I would be amazed if you could get a $500 card in trade for that many low end commons. Would you even consider trading a $1K card of yours for that pile of low end commons?

I'm not a dealer so prob not. If I was and I had slow moving inventory and the clients that want to set build it would be a no brainer. If I knew I could get .75 a card on average in person it's worth it to me. I just don't have the client base.

I'd prob do 3k trade as a dealer if I knew over 2-3 years I'd triple up in exchange for a card I've been sitting on anyways

If it took 2-3 years, once you factor in your time - assuming you value that...
A dealer wouldn't triple his money... He'd barely break even.

I have them in binders and pages. All they'd have to do is take them and put them on their tables. Nothing to waste time on. They are ready to sell and organized by year.

Look, it's your transaction. Make an offer to a dealer and see. You're getting a lot of responses saying it won't go. You don't need to convince anyone here it will work.

Hey I'm not trying to convince anyone. Just making sure I give all the facts.

How I couldn't get 1000 for 20k in book value does seem off to me though. But hey it's a conversation and opinions and I value everyones

How are you seriously getting 20K in book value for a bunch of 60's and 70's commons in VG condition? Go to eBay and look at what large lots of low end cards really sell for because I think you will be in for a huge surprise.

Let's look at it this way.

If you prepay for cremation with a Cobb in your pocket and promise to show up on the day with the same Cobb, you would probably get comped.

On the other hand if you showed up with 8300 cards in binders, there would likely be a surcharge.

Okay, don't look at it this way.
