Serious (but naive) Questions from a New Member

[sbfinley]

1. If you want to sub them to a TPG for piece of mind and protection you can never go wrong, unless of course you receive bad news back from them. For the low low price of free, however, you can post clear front/back scans here of the bigger cards and the board can give their opinion. There is a wealth of knowledge here.

2. Was stated well enough is the first reply.

3. It helps having high feedback on eBay, but in my experience clear quality scans, a good title, and a legible detailed (and sane) description work just as well. Steals and under the radar items are few and far between on eBay these days. If you post legitimate items with clear scans and honest descriptions the buyers will come to you for the most part, especially when the names Ruth or Gehrig are involved. If you do decide to sell one day, but don't want to handle it yourself, there are (despite the recent apocalypse) plenty of reputable auction houses that would love to have your business. Shop around and see which will give you the best deal.

Good luck, welcome, and happy collecting.
