Pete Rose Basic

css23

I have been out of collecting for a few years. I'm starting to ease back into it as of late. I have to decided to put together a 1974 set since its my birth year. To offset some of the expense Ive decided to let go of some Pete cards but pricing and worth is a little hazy since I'm just getting back into it. I have a Topps run from 1971 - 1987 all in PSA 8.

Would I be better off selling those alltogether or breaking them up and selling individually?

Thanks in advance!

First off, welcome back to the hobby!!

My initial thought on reading your post was to sell them seperately, but I'm not not what would bring more. You would more than likely get more money on the '71-'79 run by selling seperately, but the '80-'87 run is not very valuable. If you sell those seperately, I imagine you're looking at 8 different listing fees, as well as additional time in scanning and listing, and they won't bring mucy individually.

If you do sell them together, you are more than likely to catch a bidding war between a couple of Rose fans looking for the entire run.

In short, I have no idea.

Best of luck on the '74 set.

You should definitely sell the ’71-’77 cards separately. I would only split the rest up if you are not concerned about the time to list and sell them.

Welcome to the boards CSS! I was born in 74 also and tried what you are doing. I mainly collect only pre-1970, but thought I would give the 74s a shot since it was my year of birth. The best advice I can give you is make sure you like that set. I only did it for my birth year and that reason only. I never really cared for the card design or the player content (besides the few old time HOFers). I became very bored with it. Thats just my personal feelings about the set. Now if thats what you like, you will be pleased with what you can buy singles and lots for. There are quite a few members here that sell 74s also. My problem is, I cannot stay focused on such a big set. Now I have a bunch of 74s taking up precious space in a roop box. I wouldnt mind putting together a raw set of 74s sometime. As for the Rose cards. I would do what others said, Ebay the 70s (keep the 74 obviously) and sell the 80s in a lot. Good Luck with your set, and let us know how you make out.

If you're interested I have a large stock of PSA 8 quality raw cards that I'm selling for $1 each. PM me if you'd like to pick some up.

Pete Rose is one of the better collected PSA players. Pete Rose is special in baseball, everyone loves him. The love to like him, or love to hate him. (Not that there is anything wrong with that, sorry, Seinfield fan).

I would list them individually on ebay at $0.99 each with very fair combined shipping rates. Several people will bid on more then one which will help the later cards.

Good luck on the sales.
