There are Youtube videos out there as tutorials for working with Greg, it all seems pretty straightforward.

People used to say the same thing about PWCC.

I don't remember PWCC ever dealing pretty much exclusively in raw cards. GM gets the prices they do because they are one of the few large sellers whose raw grading is trusted.

Thanks to all who posted and the guys I spoke to. Much sage advice out there.

After much consideration I have opted to send my cards to Greg Morris. I will advise after it is done as to how it goes.

Thanks all, Bob

PWCC isn't Greg Morris.

Good luck to the seller and auction company.

I just completed a large sale of cards through Greg Morris. Took about three months and they pay in a decent amount of time.

Do not think you are going to get top dollar for each and every card. Many cards will surprise you for what they go for, both high and low.

Be prepared to have some cards come back that do not meet their minimum standards, and pay for that service. These standards differ by year and sport.

Overall I was happy, as the hassle of selling each card myself, packaging them up, and shipping them individually seemed daunting.

To summarize, if you want to move your cards quickly with little to no hassle, GM is a good way to do it. If you are trying to maximize each item, then do it yourself.

I favor a hybrid approach to maximize return.

I would get the star cards graded by PSA and sent to a major auction house, and send the commons to GM to be sold individually.

Umm you aren’t going to get much cheaper than probstein. But since they are raw I’d recommend Greg Morris.

I would have contacted some of the major houses. Completed raw sets from the 30s through the 70s in good condition would do well in any major auction. You probably could have consigned them with no fees.
