I need some advice on some Barry Bonds PSA 10's

I have a 86 Topps Traded Bonds, 86 Fleer Update Bonds, and a 87 Donruss Bonds all PSA 10. I am going to try to time it just right and sell them on Ebay. I have a couple of questions.

When should I list them? I have several options since I could list a 1, 3, 5, or 7 day auction. I could list them tonight on a 7 day auction. I could list them when he is 1 HR away on a 3 or 5 day auction. I could wait until he ties the HR record and list them on a 1 day auction. What is my best chance to maximize in your opinion?

Also, should I feature the 2 86's for $19.95 since there will be loads of them on Ebay so that mine will get some recognition and not get lost in the crowd?

    Never list anything on a 1 day auction.

    Would you feature any of them to get some recognition?

    I do not think you need to spent the extra money....

  • But if you were going to spend extra money, I'd list them with a Buy-it-Now. Once he sets the record, there could be a buying frenzy like we saw with the Jeter/Mantle/Bush cards this spring.
  • list them now for 5 or 7 day auctions.
  • It'll be interesting to see if he breaks the record in the town where Aaron started and ended his career, against Selig's Brewers team.

    I've been contemplating that same strategy. I think waiting until he is at 754 and putting it on a 7 day is best - but the Giants schedule is also key - if he hits 754 tonight, he might sit out Sat and Sun, since he has a 7-game homestand to get 755 and 756.....it's tough to time it absolutely perfect.

    me too- its gonna be kinda tricky, they sure dont want him to break it away and get covered in trash,so they might sit him,or he just might want it over with, im sure with his big ego and head they will do whatever he wants,i figure its his last year anyway,20+ years now ,its getting close ,this or next, or he could get picked ofp as a dh and be around for the next 10!!i just want him to be done so a-rod can break it!

    Heh, the Bonds $$$ window opened and closed really quick.

    Raw nm/mt Bonds rookies were selling for as much as his PSA 9 material, at the same time. Go figure.
    My Giants collection want list

    Too much negativity, it will die off, just like the Ground Zero Coins!
