Suppose you had a high end set to dispose of. Do you get the most return (money vs. time spent)
by individual e-Bay auctions, one auction selling the whole set, or contacing an Auction House that
specializes in Sports cards?

1967and 1973 Topps baseball wantlists (any condition) welcome. Once had the #14 ATF 1967 set. Yet another collector like skylaneflyer, gimel1 who made it to the completion of 1967 only to need the money more than the company of 609 close friends.
Looking for oddball Norm Cash and Cleon Jones stuff, and 1956 team cards

    You will get the most money by selling the cards individually by private off ebay sales, but that is time consuming sometimes. Otherwise I would list them on Ebay one by one using Turbo Lister and a lot of copy and paste. It doesn't take that long once you get going.

    Do some key word searches in this forum. There are several threads discussing this very issue.

    As always, it depends on the issue.

    Figure out what your time is worth.

    You can consign hi dollar items to Mile High and he charges you less than ebay (and paypal) fees.

    Whatcha got fellow Tiger sufferer?

    1967 was a fine year
    Money is your ticket to freedom.

    Whoops I forgot another option: the major dealer (Kit Young, WV Shoebox, Kruk cards come to mind first,
    perhaps because I'm on their mailing list) that says BUYING! BUYING!

    I would forget this option, unless you like getting 5 cents on the dollar for your items. If its a high dollar set, and near complete, I would look into a major auction house. Anything of mid to low value can be sold best on Ebay by yourself, in most cases.
