I know this topic has been raised with baseball collections, and Leon, if you want to move this to Boxing section, please do. I know there are a lot of collectors who dabble in boxing cards, and I'd like some opinions.
Few points:
1 -- Bottom line, I need some cash. My hours got cut at work, and have some bills to pay (funny my mortgage company didn't cut my loan).
2 -- I did not find these cards in grandpa's attic, all were purchased by myself (and I realize I am going to take a hit, investment wise).
3 -- I am NOT here fishing for buyers (I've dealt with many of you), just want opinions.
I was going to go the old BST/ebay route, but after looking at the entire collection, I was wondering if I should go the auction house route. Either in one big lot or individually. There are some big auctions coming up in Nov./beginning of Dec. (but I kind of need money now).
This is what I've got:
E76 -- American Caramel -- Complete 20/20
E77 -- American Caramel -- Complete 24/24, plus 1 caption variation
E79 -- Phila. Caramel -- Near complete 18/21 (need Fitz, Jeffries, Johnson/Cole)
T218 -- Mecca/Hassan -- Complete 153/153 (condition all over the place)
T225-2 -- Khedivial -- Near complete 24/25 (missing Willetts)
Strips:
W512 -- Near complete "master" set -- 15/16 (missing Dempsey ex-champ)
W515-1 -- 7/10
W515-2 -- Complete 10/10
W551 -- Complete 10/10
W529-1 -- Complete 10/10
W529-3 -- Complete 10/10
W529-4 -- 8/10 (with Dempsey)
W529-7 -- 8/10 (with Dempsey)
W519/521 (rare) -- 19/20 (missing Kilbaine, plus 5 reverse poses)
1921 Exhibit Postcards -- Complete 58/58 (no wrestlers)
Both 1910 E-unc Jeffries and Johnson strips
Peter Jackson Newsboy
So nearly 400 cards total -- nothing rare and collector grade. But some value.
Opinions ???????????????
Thanks, Scott
