Seeking High Value Sports Consignments: Sold on eBay & Featured in Nationwide Media

[autocentral]

This thread is so confusing and definitely super vague in describing exactly what you are doing.

If this is a really serious thing I would really try to give more information on everything, if not it just becomes laughable.

Yeah, if this is legit, you need to start over and write a new post explaining who you are, why you would be a good place to consign, why you are trustworthy, etc. Right now it just reads like, "Hey bros, please send me some $5k cards, and I'll probably sell them on ebay, k thanks."

From an article written by the OP (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michae...b_2670136.html):

Baseballs or baseballs?

Generally, autographs on baseballs, bats and jerseys are worth more than autographs on cards or baseballs.

How long is genuine length?

I measured every card from every year to make sure the cards were genuine.

WOW! They'll let anyone on the internet these days!

I found this quote quite interesting...

"e. Year of the card (most cards from 1970-present are virtually worthless)"


Yikes, please don't tell the guys paying serious bucks for those cards. They will be pissed.

C'mon guys! Lighten up. It's Monday!

Take the statement for what it is. A generalization. MOST cards from 1970-present ARE virtually worthless. Think of the millions and millions of cards from the '80s and all the beat-up '70s stuff out there and the statement isn't that unreasonable.

And look at it this way. He's actually providing a service, so that I won't expect to make a ton of money off all those '88 Donruss cards I have when I pull out my price guide.

I think he was being generous with the 70's date. I would say the 99% of all baseball cards ever printed are worthless or close to it. Take away the star players, the highly overpriced plastic holders, and the cards that are in amazing shape for their age and all that is left is a bunch of cheap junk. A person can go on ebay or our B/S/T section and buy 100 year old cards for $10 or less anytime.

Thanks guys for giving me a second go-round and making things a bit clearer.
My website is www.baseballintheattic.com
ebay user id is ASPORTSATTIC (100% positive)
I am based in Chicago

This is a genuine partnership between ebay and Parade. Both executive teams are aware and very supportive.

Cards will be sold on ebay exclusively. Links will be embed into ebay item description linking to a full article on Parade.com that I will write regarding the rarity or story behind the card(s).

As I write for different venues, I also have interviewed many owners and high ranking execs of professional sports franchises. These folks have money and are buying very specific items for their collections/museums. However, these folks aren't always on ebay.

Next month I will post my interview with Al Kaline. I know of a MLB exec looking for a 1954 Topps Al Kaline PSA 9. If somebody was to consign that card with me, i would sell it on ebay, write up a nice column for Parade to be included with my interview. Lastly, I would notify the potential interested parties of this item.

I am stepping out in a bit to watch the football game tonite, but always available to answer questions.

Thanks,
Michael
