How did you come up with $3500? SMR, etc. Moving to Sweden must be exciting.

handyman

I averaged each common at about 7.00 and then calculated what the star cards would go for on ebay then I rounded down. Its well below SMR.

handyman

what do yall think of the price? If it doesnt sell Ill just list them indv. and Im sure ill get at leaste 3500+
Thanks

I think you're going to have a difficult time getting someone to pay that much. You're in a difficult spot because you don't have a complete set. I'd bet you'd realize a premium if the set was complete and you consigned it to an auction house....even if you just threw in a bunch of ungraded exmt cards.

If you fire sale the lot, you'll probably do pretty well on the high grade hofers....but you'll likely get killed on the commons.

What you're doing now is probably your best option....go fishing and see if someone bites.

yea, I know if i sell it like it is 3500 will do me best, but if I break it up and spend the 7 hrs to list all 193 cards Id get more than 3500. So Ill see who wants to complete this set and wants to make a premium.
