Having thoughts of selling my collection that includes multiple Nolan Ryan cards

[bbcard1]

Piecing it out is time-consuming and requires and investment in time and money (selling fees or show set up). Your chances of finding a collector who will pay say 75% of the retail of the collection is next to none. Also, everyone always thinks their house is worth more than it is, their kids are prettier than they really are, and their cards have greater value than they do.

This is not to dissuade you from trying to sell your collection, but understand it is not easy. Selling my collection is likely to be my retirement job. I expect that with hard work I may get 50% of its value...better on key pieces, of course, but far less on others. I sold a collection for a friend who met an untimely death. I think I probably got 60% of the value out of it, but it took more than a year and I had a couple of buyers who were generous in light of the situation. The upside is I made some great friends along the way.

Good luck! Selling anything is work. That's why the people who do it make a profit.
