Hey I'm not trying to convince anyone. Just making sure I give all the facts.

How I couldn't get 1000 for 20k in book value does seem off to me though. But hey it's a conversation and opinions and I value everyones

How are you seriously getting 20K in book value for a bunch of 60's and 70's commons in VG condition? Go to eBay and look at what large lots of low end cards really sell for because I think you will be in for a huge surprise.

The majority of set builders are not building sets in vg -ex from the years you listed. I think you should bring them all to the local show and see what offers you get. Wish the best of luck with this lot.

There are not all commons there are semis and minors as previously stated and some high numbers. Not all are VG some are VG-ex to exmt just giving you an idea. Didn't want to over promise or overgrade. I understand where you guys are coming from though.

I do collect in that grade. You only need to find one sucker. I have been on both ends of such trades. I think you'll find this to be a rough deal to consummate, but you don't know until you try.

Stephen, go to a show and look around. You will see 1000's, or maybe 100's of 1000's of cards from the 60's and 70's. Many of these cards will be in the dime boxes and the quarter boxes. The supply is much greater than the demand. It doesn't really matter what the "book value" is, all that really matters is how much people are willing to pay for these cards. If you have 8300 cards, you will be lucky to get $1000 in trade or in cash.

Maybe you should set up at a card show and see what kind of luck you have.

Stephen - Sometimes you gotta say WTF and go for it. Best of luck at the show.

Let's look at it this way.

If you prepay for cremation with a Cobb in your pocket and promise to show up on the day with the same Cobb, you would probably get comped.

On the other hand if you showed up with 8300 cards in binders, there would likely be a surcharge.

Okay, don't look at it this way.
