Half of a 1958 Topps set. What to do with it? Help needed.

RonBurgundy

I acquired a decent size vintage collection recently, including about 269 different cards from the 1958 Topps set. I need some advice on what to do with it. The lot is about 45% EX, 35% EX-MT, and 20% NM. The stars in the lot are as follows: Koufax, Snider, Kaline, Spahn, several AS cards (but no Mantle, Mays, etc.). Some minor stars (Bunning, Aparicio) are there and team cards, etc.

I want to dispose of this set, but am unsure about the best way to do it. Ideally, I'd like to keep some of the NM commons in case I ever want to start the set, but I think there would be more allure in selling it as a half set rather than 43% of a set, which is what it amounts to without the NM commons Should I:


a) Sell it with the NM commons included? 269 cards, or 54 % of the set.

b) Sell without the NM commons. 216 cards, or 43% of the set.

c) Break it up some other way?


I don't want to keep it as I'm focusing on '57 Topps, which was also in the collection I bought. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.




Stay classy,

I would get as many as I could graded and flip them singly on ebay.

the rest I would sell in a few lots raw on the bay.

Good luck
