Need help selling my collection

[GrewUpWithJunkWax]

It's a part of the hobby that seems to not get much attention. I certainly haven't looked into it that much, but probably wise to keep an eye on that side of collecting.

Recommend probstein only if you have graded cards. Do not send raw.

I went from zero graded cards to a couple thousand within 2 years (2013 to 2015) I still love the feel of baseball cards in my hands. But without grading I know you will leave alot more than the 20% buyers premium on the table. Belive me I know the counter arguments but you are only going to sell these once. And the numbers don't lie. For expensive cards ( up to you to decide the number ) you are going to get more and sell quicker with graded cards vs Raw.
Talk with some of the Auction houses they are not all the same. Heritage and REA definitely know what they are doing. And for some high value cards they remove all seller fees and talk about some buyer premium going to you. But strictly business and not as flexible as smaller joints. Al from love of game is honest and helpful and that goes a long way. ( full disclosure Al is listed in my instructions to sell most of my memorabilia). I have used most of the major Auction houses over the past 9 years. I wanted to get real life experiance dealing with each of them and if you send me a pm I will discuss my experience not my opinions my experience. It hurts letting it go more than I thought, good luck to you.

I don't have a recommendation for how to sell your cards but...

You absolutely *MUST* get the higher dollar cards graded. Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, Koufax, Jackie, etc. Get them graded. You will get a lot more money than you would ungraded. Guaranteed.

I would go with a smaller auction house like some of the ones already mentioned here if you want really good service.

Most of the auction houses who have an in with the grading companies will get the better cards graded unless you tell them not to. They do that to generate the most money for you as well as for them.

The collection you described will definitely get you a very low or no seller cost if you shop it around. The problem with any of them is that they will grade the better cards and likely lot up the rest of each set in a single listing and you will not like what that part of your collection brings.

Also, the process is long from beginning to end with the big auction houses.

Greg Morris brings very good money for raw cards on Ebay and does a good job with pictures. They will list every card in a set break as far as I know and although there will always be cards that fall below the Mendoza line, overall they do very well. If you really don't want to grade cards, they are a viable option.

The auction houses will run your complete sets just as they are if you insist on not grading(which they will charge you for)but complete sets overall are weak at present.

Some of the sets you mentioned such as the '33 Goudey will bring good money even raw but other sets will fall through the crack.

Good luck with your liquidation.
