What do you do with raw NM 1957-1963 BB Commons?

in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
I have a client who has about 1,000 commons (and a few minor stars) that would probably grade between 6.5 and 7.5.

I am worried that raw they will be very hard to sell. However, it's an expense to get them graded and processed.

Since I mostly do coins, I need to come up with a solution.

One thing we will do if we send them in is try real hard to cull the cards which will not "7."

Any thoughts,

Greg

    I will talk to my friend. He currently is looking for information, but I have a way of getting him a bit motivated to move stuff.

    Thanks,

    IMO, it isn't worth getting them graded. Sell them raw on eBay individually (in runs by year). If there are cards 8 or higher, I would grade those.

    How much do you want for them as is now?

    I think there's a lot of interest in mid-grade cards from those years. Single out the ones that you consider the best conditions and decide how many you can afford to get graded.

    Sell them in lots broken down by year. If any of them are closer to the vg-ex range than nm don't expect anything more than 50-cents per card. For 1 000 of them it's still a good bit of change

    I have a dad who has about 1,000 coins in his cash register and safe (and a few minor bills) that would probably grade between 6.5 and 7.5.

    OK - GAME ON!!!

    Get your paddles out!

    Nevermind what they cost, nevermind what they're worth...

    These cards have ONE owner - never been driven over 35 mph and ONLY to church on Sunday - they have been tucked away in a vault and have not seen daylite, moonlite, flashlite or Israelite!

    Let's start the bidding at 100 bucks!!!

    '57s in PSA 7 are worth grading. So are '59 high #s and '62 high #s. I'm not sure if any others are worth grading by series. Also, very low pop 8s will do all right as 7s (e.g., '62 George Witt).

    I think if you broke them down by year and put them on the b/s/t you would have no problem selling them. (Plus no ebay fees)

    I will give someone a run for their money on the 1960 Topps image

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)
