Gonna move inherited collection. Worth?

[fishinrob]

I've had these cards in a cigar box for the past 20 years and want to move them. They are legit, as when they were my mom's, I sold a few high end ones(3 Ruth's and a couple others) for her at a trade show in Michigan. Watching American pickers I realized someone who REALLY appreciates them should own them. I have about 100 1933 Goudy's in fairly good shape. 1934 Goudy's about 50 of just average players and 69 of the Batter Ups. Sport Kings I have about 10 more than the ones pictured. I'm also trying to figure out if the oddball card with the Washington Cap is anything?

What's the best way to go about selling them and how much are the higher end ones worth? I just don't wanna be ripped off, but don't overvalue either. The couple marks seen on the middle Ruth and on Gehrig are like pen indentations without ink.

First of all, send the ones valued at $100+ in to either PSA or SGC for grading. You'll make back much more then the grading fees when you sell. As far as sales venue, it's dependent on how much effort you want to put into it - you can use the BST forum here which won't cost you anything but will be the most labor intensive. Then you have self service options like GrandSlamBids and eBay which automate an auction process for you, but take a percentage, or you can consign themn to an auction house and not have to worry about anything as far as listing and shipping, but they will take approximately 15-20%.

I think Matt gave you very good advice, and from the looks of it, everything you posted is worth at least $100. You may not have the money to get everything graded, in which case, you may want to only grade a handful at a time, figure out the value, and sell on the Buy/Sell/Trade section on this board. These should all sell quickly.

Contact Bill Goodwin. He'll get them graded for you, and get them in his auction. He'll make sure that collectors after those cards know about their availability. And he'll get you good prices for the cards, without you having to join something or mail anything or pay a bunch of fees.

I'm pretty sure Goodwin takes at least 17.5% in fees and you'll have to mail him the cards as well, unless your at a show he is attending, but you'd be able to hand deliver to PSA/SGC at a show as well.

Thanks for all the advice. Theres a few people I've been put in touch with already, so I'll get a feel. I counted 218 1933 Goudy's, 45 1934 Goudy's, 68 Batters Up cards and 15 Sport Kings. Also some Sky King cards with a couple Charles Lindbergh's.
Does anyone have an idea of the one oddball card with the gold and maroon trim?
