Well it's been a fun ride. I started consolidating my entire card collection in July 2018. Working from the bottom, "keeping my favorites", re-evaluating my favorites at several steps along the way. I've been at it steadily almost 3 years now. Pre-war thru modern, baseball, football, basketball, hockey. Very very very few found the trash can. Many many many went for a few cents a piece. It was great re-discovering my cards and I believe I truly enjoyed sending them to new homes as much as I enjoyed collecting them in the first place
I knew all along my raw 520 set in a binder would be the last of any value to be consolidated. Fall of 2020 I had met my goal of fitting my "surviving" cards into various vintage boxes, drawers, and cabinets around my home. The last major effort - selling my fairly extensive Barry Larkin collection - was starting to slow to a crawl, and I was down to relisting a few stragglers from the 90's over and over on eBay. In October Morrie Mullins posted a WTB on the BST for a PB Demmitt and O'Hara. Those were the last two cards I acquired for my 520 so it seemed fitting that they were the first two to go. I decided it was time. I reached out to Morrie and had a short pleasant PM conversation over 2 or 3 days. I learned the meaning of the word magnanimous, and at the end sent my Demmitt and O'Hara onto Morrie to keep for a while. It's been a steady five months..... My monster number is now 184 and I have 6 remaining of those I identified to sell. I love these little cards and am happy that most of my former 520 now resides in net54 collections. As I described in most of my eBay listings, I enjoyed these in my collection for a few years, and am passing them on for someone else to do the same.. Here are the remaining 6. Priced individually. Paypal preferred. add $3 shipping for any number of cards. $35 Camnitz (Hands above Head) $35 Smith F. (Chicago, F. Smith) Last edited by tonyo; 04-02-2021 at 10:22 AM. |
