Hi Rob,
Here is the problem with trying to sell EX 1959 commons individually.

First of all, there are 27,000 active listings for 1959 Topps cards.

Secondly, if you look at the "sold" auctions, you will see many commons in VG/EX and EX that sold for anywhere from 99 cents to two bucks. Some sell for more, but there is a lot of competition out there.

Third, the fees for selling cards for two bucks will be high. Listing fee, final value fee, 35 cents per payment for PayPal, plus another 1.7% for paypal will put a big dent in your profits.

Fourth, it takes a lot of time to scan the front and the back of the card, create the listing, answer questions, package the items, and ship them. Do you want to do all of the for a buck or two per card?

I think RobertGT may have the best solution. BIN with best offer. Put the BIN 25% higher than you need to get out of the set so you have some wiggle room with offers.

I hope you purchased this for a really low price so you can make a few bucks from it.

Good luck! Rick
