Gonna move inherited collection. Worth?

First of all, send the ones valued at $100+ in to either PSA or SGC for grading. You'll make back much more then the grading fees when you sell. As far as sales venue, it's dependent on how much effort you want to put into it - you can use the BST forum here which won't cost you anything but will be the most labor intensive. Then you have self service options like GrandSlamBids and eBay which automate an auction process for you, but take a percentage, or you can consign themn to an auction house and not have to worry about anything as far as listing and shipping, but they will take approximately 15-20%.

I think Matt gave you very good advice, and from the looks of it, everything you posted is worth at least $100. You may not have the money to get everything graded, in which case, you may want to only grade a handful at a time, figure out the value, and sell on the Buy/Sell/Trade section on this board. These should all sell quickly.

Contact Bill Goodwin. He'll get them graded for you, and get them in his auction. He'll make sure that collectors after those cards know about their availability. And he'll get you good prices for the cards, without you having to join something or mail anything or pay a bunch of fees.

I'm pretty sure Goodwin takes at least 17.5% in fees and you'll have to mail him the cards as well, unless your at a show he is attending, but you'd be able to hand deliver to PSA/SGC at a show as well.

Thanks for all the advice. Theres a few people I've been put in touch with already, so I'll get a feel. I counted 218 1933 Goudy's, 45 1934 Goudy's, 68 Batters Up cards and 15 Sport Kings. Also some Sky King cards with a couple Charles Lindbergh's.
Does anyone have an idea of the one oddball card with the gold and maroon trim?

Pretty sure it depicts Joe Cronin, what is on the back of that card?

I sell with Goodwin. You can contact him and haggle on the fees. If you have good stuff he'll cut you a break, I'd think. Tell him I sent you. Some naysayers here who've never sold anything with him think they know all about him. They should sell something with him, see how that goes, then offer an opinion. I've sold with several folks, including him several times. He's selling some cards for me right now. And that stuff about having to mail him the cards isn't true...

Looks like Joe Cronin. The era and team fit him too. Not sure on the issue. What does the back of the card have on it?

[fishinrob]

Nothing on back of the card, but it's a little thinner cardboard but more rigid.
