Default Net54 Auction House advertiser Review -

I, like many long time collectors often get to that stage of - Selling their stuff

Many threads have been posted about the " best way " -

Sell it yourself/ give it to a big name ebay guy to sell it for you/ sell it yourself on ebay/ Give it to the largest and biggest name AH, and so on...

and though some of us have had luck with selling on the Net 54 BST section( which I think is a great feature on the site ) , I think most guys will agree that the members on Net 54 are very savvy/ keenly aware of prices/ looking for a bargain/ and most often...looking for a low buy..to turn and flip it ( which I dont have any issues with ) . I think its safe to say very rarely will you get " top dollar " selling on BST

Anyway, I decided to go with Aquarian sport cards and Scott

I was extremely happy with the way everything went - communication/ fairness/ trust/ etc..

Was absolutely blown away by what he was able to " get " for my stuff

He may not be the biggest, but I think he's one of the best

I have also consigned with Scott and was also pleased with how everything went. His descriptions of one of my graded T210s is still the best description of a card I have ever read from an AH. I would highly recommend Scott.

Scott Russell and Jeff Gross are the beacons of our hobby when you’re looking to sell your cards. Tons of knowledge.

Agree about Scott. He's a great guy running an honest business. One of the good ones out there for sure in a world where the gold standard is "biggest" I think too many overlook "best" as a way better thing to strive for.

+1. Another positive shout out for Scott, who I have known for years- honest, smart, friendly, and most of all, he really cares and tries.

Another shout out for Scott. Nice guy, honest as the day is long, and understands the hobby inside and out. A great guy to deal with.

Scott's okay, but I hope he doesn't let all these accolades go to his head!

I've known Scott for years, and agree with the other positive comments already stated. He's great to deal with, and really respects both his customers and our hobby.

Having a bit of a Sally Fields moment here.

Seriously guys I really appreciate the sentiment. We take the hobby (but not ourselves) pretty seriously, and want to do our part to make it more enjoyable. Basically the concept of stewardship is important to us.

Making some money along the way would be cool too.
