certified baseball hof autos?

I have about 75 or so certified baseball cards of HOF players that I want to sell, is this a bad time because of the monthly special for may/june where people like me spent a lot on grading? I planned on listing them on ebay at $9.99/no reserve and let them go. I've had good luck before with low #d autos.

There's legendary cuts of guys like joe sewell, pee wee reese, joe cronin, edd roush, I think 16 or 17 of those, and a bunch of other ones, so they're mostly not the $20 wade boggs or whatever.

Also should I list them all at once or a little bit at a time. Don't need the $$ today but I'm trying to cut down a little bit.


Advice is greatly appreciated!

thanks in advance

    honestly I'd start them off at .99. It seems to me cards get more traffic and bids the lower they start, and with what your talking about there will be a lot of interest. I'd say list them all at once, that way the same bidders will go after multiple autos at the same time. Just my .02

    I totally agree with ToppsCo - on the 99 cents thing - Jay aka Qualitycards is a pro seller and he always starts his auctions there and he may have an items worth a grand.

    It just seems that people are real comfortable with that as a starting bid.

    How about a link?

    Good luck

    i agree.. but the items need to be strong.. you put out a bunch of weak items with a 99 cent starting bid, and that's a recipe for a pants-down spanking... just a word of caution.

    I think there's another hundred or so of old-timers who didn't make the HOF including some negro league stars. I'll probably start listing those next weekend.

    I'll get a link here as soon as they're listed, thanks for all the advice!
