1- be VERY careful, gentle with the cards. If you sell, condition will be a significant factor in what they'll bring.
2- move these cards to a safe place, a safety deposit box. Tomorrow, if you haven't done it today.
3- with patience, and clean hands, figure out what you have. Tin Tops are different from other Colgans. Folks on here know the difference, someone will help identify scans if you email them to us.
4- you could sell all, none, some, some now some later... lots of possibilities. The auction folks look at it as if they own part of your cards. Some folks on here would like to get a bargain dealing with you. I'd suggest you communicate with 2 or 3 auction folks, and maybe 2 or 3 of the guys on here, and then put together your own plan of action. Patience... the quick dollar will be the small dollar. And then you'll be bitter about it.
5- I do wish you well, and congratulations. It might be neat to keep a few cards to pass on down, keeping them in the family.
That's the best advice I've gotten yet....Thank you.
