Questions for dealers

The majority of set builders are not building sets in vg -ex from the years you listed. I think you should bring them all to the local show and see what offers you get. Wish the best of luck with this lot.

There are not all commons there are semis and minors as previously stated and some high numbers. Not all are VG some are VG-ex to exmt just giving you an idea. Didn't want to over promise or overgrade. I understand where you guys are coming from though.

I do collect in that grade. You only need to find one sucker. I have been on both ends of such trades. I think you'll find this to be a rough deal to consummate, but you don't know until you try.

Stephen, go to a show and look around. You will see 1000's, or maybe 100's of 1000's of cards from the 60's and 70's. Many of these cards will be in the dime boxes and the quarter boxes. The supply is much greater than the demand. It doesn't really matter what the "book value" is, all that really matters is how much people are willing to pay for these cards. If you have 8300 cards, you will be lucky to get $1000 in trade or in cash.

Maybe you should set up at a card show and see what kind of luck you have.

Stephen - Sometimes you gotta say WTF and go for it. Best of luck at the show.

You can regularly purchase cards in similar condition as yours on ebay for around 50 cents a card for 60-65s, 33 cents a card for 66-69s and 20 cents a card for early 70s. If you sold them in lots yourself on ebay you would be lucky to clear $2000 BEFORE fees, etc. So for a dealer to purchase from you or trade with, you would be extremely lucky to get $1000, more likely than not, $700-800 would be generous.....most dealers would likely offer you less due to the time involved to resell(sorting) for a profit.


Having bought a number of accumulations such as yours to "resort" and then resell, the prices mentioned above would be my would be what I have experienced. You may want to consider selling in lots by year on ebay versus selling to a dealer as you will be better off price wise going that route.

SOLD. Met a great guy and dealer and got a 2000 World Series home plate signed by the Mets head grounds crew and a psa 3 1952 mays. Which I think was very fair.
