One other thing Kevin...I have been selling on eBay since the late 1990's and have watched the many changes. Many years ago, auctions on eBay were the way to maximize your sales. Not every auction was a winner but if you put up enough similar items a few great bidding wars could carry the whole group. NOT ANYMORE. I can tell you for certain that on the memorabilia side you will do much better with fixed price items. If you put a reasonable BIN price you can do much better than starting items at $9.99 at auction. The key is having patience and not putting unrealistic museum pricing on the cards. I don't know if this pertains to cards as much (maybe another experienced card dealer can jump in on this). Just my 2¢ and I hope that you wiggle out of this without too much loss. BTW it looks like there is quite a lot of material in this purchase and on the face looks like you might do OK (but I am not a card guy so what do I
know )?
