Seeking advice on selling a collection
Green
Posts: 2
Hello, I have a sports card collection that i would like to sell but im not sure how best to go about it.
About the collection:
It is 6 'shoe boxes' and 3 USPS 12x12x8 boxes. The cards from the 50s and earlier are lower grade players i dont recognize. The cards from the 60s-80s are all star cards, they look to be very high grade and 80%+ are in screw down cases and about 5% are graded by various grading companies. The cards from the 90s+ are mostly all insert cards in top loaders.
About me:
I collect comics and am a member on the collector society forums (same user name) which is the forums for CGC (the company that grades comics)
I buy and sell comics there occasionally and am a member in good standing and am familiar with dealing with a forum community.
I need advice on where to gain knowledge of current grading/pricing practices. Honestly if this place is as good a community as the CGC forum is, i would prefer to sell them here to collectors at good deals.
Is it acceptable to post scans of cards in the buy/sell/trade forum and field offers without a set BIN price?
Here are few sample scans of random cards. The collection isnt really in order and i havnt gone thru some of it. This box seemed really good.
(haha and just like a comic, that stain across the joe morgan i didnt catch in hand.)

Very acceptable and you'll find members here are easy to deal with.

Bundling your cards into lots would be a great way to sell them.
Do you happen to have any 1933 Goudey cards?

If you are looking to sell, breaking it down into lots by year is easiest way to sell. HOFs in VG condition are better packaged into lots than selling on their own unless its Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Clemente or Koufax. HOF RCs also hould be sold on their own.
