Wow, fast! Thx... yeah, my stuff is like everyone else’s so probably not a very exciting fit here.

Thx

You should still do well in the BST.......take a look at some of the stuff there. Nothing that really knocks your socks off. The Munson card is something the guys would like....

I extremely disagree with Steve on regular stuff doesn't do well here. He personally might not buy it but there are a LOT of us that do.

Both would sell well on COMC. Although if the '76 Brett is NM+ or better, you might need to grade it for full value.

I agree! for example, there is a consistent supply of unopened baseball and basketball packs from the late 80s and early 90s. I'm not ashamed to admit that I have partaken on multiple occasions, can't get much more vanilla than that!

Deans card prices divided by 2 minus 10% = B/S/T price.

I would agree with this if it is priced right. Doesn't have to be given away, but if it is overpriced it likely won't move. Priced reasonable for what you have and you should be fine here.

Ok, willing to give it a try.... suggest auction or fixed price sale?

Since you are kinda new with not many posts I would try fixed price. Look at sold prices on eBay for cards in the same condition. Look to see the average price they sold for and drop 10 to 15 percent. Then list them at that price. That is what I do.

Ah, I've been slapped down again. Ha.

I agree lower priced stuff can sell here if priced well.

I've tried the auction format on BST a few times and it seemed to take much more time and effort than just a fairly priced straight sale. Could be fun if you want an auction. Be specific in ending time and time zone so there's no dispute as to who won. And shipping costs.

I have done well here with commons I wouldn't want to sell on Ebay. Nothing earth shattering, but I feel I did OK and I feel the buyer got a good deal too. Without the Ebay fees as well.

I would be interested in the Brett, if are selling it.
Thanks
