I'm looking for opinions/suggestions/expertise on this particular lot of 1956 Topps cards. I'm pretty green when it comes to dealing it vintage, and just want to ensure I don't get burned. So, just to clarify..this isn't a for sale thread, nor solicitation of these cards..but I'd really like opinions on what a real word value of this lot, in the current market is.
I typically hit up cards shows every few months, and find a dealer to thin out/dump some of my collection. The deal is typically in their favor obviously, because I'm selling in bulk but I'm comfortable doing so, because I know exactly what the market is on the "modern" stuff I'm selling/trading. Vintage...not so much. These are all duplicates from a family members collection, so I'm looking to sell the lot, to get funds to finish another set.
So, here's the info. 1956 Topps (100 Cards) All different, except for 2 or 3 doubles. They are all in VERY GOOD condition. Once again...I'm not familiar in any way with grading, but these cards have been in a box in an attic for 34 years, and haven't seen the light of day, since the early 80s. I've seen tons and tons of 56' Topps cards for sale over the years, and I'm pretty confident that these are in much better condition than most anything/everything I see non graded for sale at shows.
If looking to sell all of them together as a lot. Should I expect $2-$5 a card? $5-$7 a card? $7 -$10 per card? Once again, I understand that If I'm selling a lot of 100 cards, that are all commons..there needs to be an incentive/discount of sorts to the buyer..but just want to make sure that I don't sell to the first guy that offers, and then see the lot sold/passed around 3or 4 times within the next hour to different tables, at a profit every time.
I have included a few pics, to demonstrate overall condition. They are all in tremendous shape, with NO creases, or bends of any kind. There might be a few soft corners here or there, but Surface/Color/Centering is AWESOME on all of them. NO excuses to be made.
I'm open to any and all opinions and/or comments.
