Help with pricing partial set - 1985 Topps Football

Southsider

Hey all, it's been a long time since I've sold off most of my collection. I still have a few odds and ends laying around and I think it's time to clear out the rest.

I'm considering selling my 1985 Topps Football set - https://www.psacard.com/psasetregistry/football/company-sets/1985-topps/publishedset/11563

I have no idea how to price this set, though. 274 graded cards, PSA 8, 8.5, 9 and a few 10s. I will also be including 3 MJ Roop boxes with the set.

Anyone have any recommendations? Definitely not interested in doing a set break on eBay. I would consider consigning, but I don't even know who to reach out to for consignments anymore. Things have changed in the past 8 years.

I appreciate any input.

Bulk lot the 8's & 9's in teams, sell the higher value 9's separately. PSA 10's definitely separately. Hampton is $. If you want to consign them, PC Sportscards in NY is a solid choice.

Southsider

Thanks, that's more work than I want to do with this set. I'd rather sell the whole thing in one shot. I'll check out PC Sportscards.

The Bears cards should all be in high demand especially with Dent, McMichael rcs and the Payton and Singletary both strong sellers in 9s and above

This set is now officially off the market

That will be my plan once I am in possession.

Well I just met @Southsider in person at the airport and picked up the set. I brought an empty suitcase and filled it with the boxes. I meant to take a pic before checking it. Sitting in the airport lounge waiting on my return flight to DFW now.

I was out of football by then but that’s one of the coolest sets of all-time. It’s so simple and so beautiful.

craig44

Wow, that will be fun to go through! I always liked the 85 set. so tough with those black borders

rexvos

Considering I was 12 when it came out and this was a set that was squarely in my wheelhouse so I could not pass up this opportunity

Congratulations. Very nice, underrated set. Purchased for the Bears Team set or attempting to complete as a whole?

One of the toughest condition sets post-1980. Great buy!

Work in progress. Started scanning and adding to registry last night. Will see what I can find and add / upgrade over time

The cards are absolutely beautiful

Southsider

Enjoy! Glad they went to a fellow collector.

Back to the Future year! And I think a case could be made that this is by far the most "radical" design of any of the big four major league sports in Topps' regular sets from the gray cardboard era, right? At least these black beauties are a LOT more affordable than 1971s!!
