Help with Best Way to Sell Complete Sets???
I have some sets I am looking to possibly put up for sale soon.
Have 2 types…
1). Complete PSA sets…
2). Partial PSA and raw ungraded sets.
….Question is…what is the best way to sell to maximize $$$$??
I see a lot of “set breaks” (many are not even close to complete sets, but don’t see as many complete sets being sold. Is the return not worth selling as a complete set?
..As anyone who has completed sets especially in specific grades, you know the long amount of time it can take to get certain cards….and I mean not the “stars” but hard to get commons….(example on my PSA 9 1968 set…#441 Johnson…only 4 have been sold based on PSA auction records)
……Anyway, just looking for feedback, I understand the common thought is that there are thousands of people trying to build sets, so doing a “set break” would appeal to many people, where as not many people have the $$$ to buy a complete set, so obviously less buyers , less bidders.
Sets are Topps baseball ranging from 1961 to 1968, with one 1955.
Some highlights of sets….
Full PSA…
1968…..520… PSA 9’s…78.. PSA 8’s… raw average…8.85…rank based on PSA registry about #17 or so.
1962 …..93 card “green tint” variation set….33 PSA 9’s….60 PSA 8’s…average…8.40…Rank would be #1 (my calculation) (hard to figure rank because you have to look at the 1962 “super sets” to see “green tints” in PSA registry)
1966……375 PSA 8’s…30 PSA 9’s….rest PSA 7’s…average7.75….rank about #18
1955….PSA 5’s, 6’s and 7’s….Average 6.0
1962….350 PSA 8’s rest PSA 7’s…average 7.65 (if I put the variation set in, it would rank # 3 on PSA for ’62 Super Set)
1964….455 PSA 8’s….30 PSA 9’s….rest PSA 7’s….average 7.87…rank about #18
Partial sets…1961 to 1968 would be roughly about 250 to 300 PSA’s (7’s 8’s) rest would be ungraded..
(except for 1968 which is 523 PSA 8’s and rest ungraded)…not all are full completed sets.
Thanks for any info from those that have sold sets and those that provide info.
