Considering an AH, the bidders have to factor in the 15% or 20% juice they are paying so even if the auction house gives you full hammer, you are still possibly losing money you could get from a private sale.

Great collection...but I got to admit the dumbbells look rather random.

Shop auction houses. Take your time, there will be offers. Some better than others. Make phone calls and find someone you feel you can trust, that offers reasonable fees (juice), and will get your items the most/best exposure. When I liquidated I had about 10 auction houses that I quickly narrowed to five. Had long phone conversations with three, and very longtime conversations with two before I decided.

As a fellow low-grade collector, I loved seeing the photos of your cards. I particularly look forward to the 34 Goudeys hitting the market. Good luck with your sale.

I completely agree with Sean here. If he is indeed offering you $24K for this collection take it. My guess is he will act sincere and then disappear like he usually does because he is busy. If he can pay the $24K I would take it. As far as AH route I would agree with exploring that avenue IF the collection was mid grade or better. Low grade sets and collections do not fair well in AH settings. You would get roasted and a buyer will always consider the 20% commission in his/her bid. Sean…..what no midgets in chi-town? I had a couple of dealer friends who were sad you didn't show, but I know you are busy. Sold the autos, but kept about 6 boxes of the premium stuff. When you are serious enough to answer emails after I spent a day and a half getting you your detailed list, let me know and maybe I can get you a deal done. Ralph, good luck on the sale and if I were you I would take Sean up.

Ralph, great collection. That being said based on what you said and shown, 24k seems pretty good. Have you done a cost analysis? I dont know if I could let go of the Ruth'\s and Gehrigs.

many of those ruths are only in the 1000-2000 range and would be required to get a big offer like seans..

I guess my 2% offer over Jason's turns out to be 0 since he offered 0....got to hand it to sean hes not all talk...
