NEED ADVISE ON MY COLLECTION

Hi everyone i was hoping someone could give me some advise. I have bags boxes and binders full of sports cards mostly commons and also plenty of inserts. In the binders there are a few I would say partial baseball sets from the mid to late 80's. I know I have a binder full of basketball cards with plenty of inserts. Except for these items I just have bags and bags full of mostly commons and I don't know the best way to try and sell them off. I would say there are thousands and thousands of cards in these bags. I thought about breaking it up into lots on ebay and filling them in priority mail boxes but i think the cards that I have in these bags might not be worth very much. I am looking for any suggestions. Thanks.

    I know it may not be the answer you're looking for, but you could consider donating them to a childrens hospital, school or some other charity or organization directed towards children. To be honest, most commons don't sell for squat on ebay unless you have a larger lot of a popular superstar, and still many of those don't sell for very much. I gave about 700,000 commons away some years ago to the childrens hospital, but they aren't accepting them here anymore so I need to find somewhere else to send them off to so I can have my office back image

    Give them away to the salvation army and deduct .02 apiece from your taxes. They will get them into the right hands, and that is more than you will get on ebay, plus it is little/no work. A penny saved is a penny earned.
