Questions on the demand of certain items

halfcentman

I have another question about demand of certain items:

The same source who I obtained the T206 Cy Young has a lot of cards that have been off of the market for quite some time.

He had A LOT of commons and minor stars from 1957-1958 Topps which I would classify as PSA 7's on average.

He also has a decent amount of 1952 Berk Ross commons and minor stars from a cache that had everything about 25 years ago which grade an overall solid PSA 6.

In today's marketplace, are the 1950's Topps Commons worth sending in or selling raw? If we get lucky, there may be an occassional 7.5 in there.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Greg

Hi, go to ebay and check completed auctions that should give you an idea
if what you have will sell and for what it will sell for.

It really all depends on what you have. I'm sure some stars would be worth grading I'm sure and some are probably just as profitable if selling raw.

7's aren't commanding too much relative to grading fees for 58/59's. Maybe send in the absolute cream of the crop to test the waters.

Crisp, but not razor sharp, cards still will sell well - need good scans like you had with the T206.

Thanks for the compliments on the scan. I sell a lot of coins on eBay, and I pride myself in taking solid pictures and scans.

This cache of material that I am looking into is very fresh as it has been off of the market for quite a while. The two of us are full-time coin dealers, but we have always have an eye for sports cards when they come up. My friend is going to be 50 in April, so I think he is thinking of liquidating some of it (not that 50 is old!) <vbg>

We have not looked at the stuff since PSA starting using half grades, so perhaps that's a New Year's resolution.
