Another t206 question~ What's it worth?

[usernamealreadytaken]

I would suggest the following:

Sell Individually: HOF's, SLers, High(er) grade, Rare Backs, and any other premium cards (ex. Doyle, Titus, etc.)

Sell as lots in varying sizes: commons (I would suggest varying sizes because not everyone can bid on 50+ lots, but will bid hotly for 5-10-25 card lots -- this approach maximizes the bid pools).

I agree that often bidders on large lots/complete sets do so to profit on breaking up.

**Of course, big upside to selling as a set -- avoid hundreds of seperate payments, packages, trips to post office, etc.

What is the premium for Titus based on? the mustache subset?

Agree with the others that you could make more money doing them individually or in smaller lots, but it also takes a lot more time and effort. There is definitely a market for sets, you're probably just trimming some potential profit for yourself.

For what it's worth, I bought a "set" of 510 (with HOFers all graded) for a friend last year. We paid $19,500 for it and he is very happy. And there was a nice set of 520 in Bill Goodwin's June auction that went a little under $20K (with juice).

Titus is hot right now -- selling for a premium over other commons. I would also put Tenny, Taylor, and a couple others on that list.

I can understand the added premiums for Titus and Dummy Taylor etc. I had my T206 out over the week end. I happened to notice (I had completely forgot) that my Titus has a good chunk of scrapbook that needs to be soaked off. I recently practiced on a C046 with great success. Will his mustache survive a soaking?....
