1996 Leaf Signature Set Bronze...help needed!

PROMETHIUS88

Ok guys, a friend of mine has given me a 1996 Leaf Signature Series Bronze set to sell for him on Ebay. This set is complete including the Otis Nixon which was really hard to find. As I'm researching online, I see that a Jeter sold for $400 ungraded and it gets me to thinking....what do you think would be the best way to sell it? The cards are all really sharp but I honestly think he is wanting too much for the set at $1800. Maybe I am wrong so I was hoping to get some opionions from some of you guys who may be more familiar with this set than I am. Does PSA grade the bronze as all I see on the pop report is some silver and golds. Any thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated. Just don't know if maybe grading it would bring more money?!?!?

Thanks!

You're looking at $400 for Jeter, maybe $200-$300 in other stars, $200 in commons and whatever the Nixon is worth. I'm thinking $1000-$1200 is realistic and he should be ecstatic with $1500. Nixon could actually be a huge card but I'm not sure since there are no sales in the past year.

PSA grades these. The ones that don't say Silver/Gold in the pop report are Bronze, Jeter is a pop 5. I would at least get the Nixon, Jeter, Rivera, Thomas and Arod graded if they are potentially 9 or better.

What was deal on Nixon. How many of those have you seen come up for sale?

Lee:

I think for PSA to grade them, you have to pay both the PSA and the PSA/DNA fee.

Good call, Marc. So maybe only do the Thomas, Arod and Rivera if they have a shot at a 10.

whole sets are a drag ... send me the AROD

Nice though to have it all together

Nixon didn't return his cards, thus they were not packed out. They rarely come up for sale, and must be ones he gave out or who knows what happened to them (postal theft?). I've only seen a couple ever listed, and they do tend to go for some good coin.

Thanks for the responses guys. Looking at the keys in the set, I'm guessing that other than the Jeter that might go 9, the others would be 8's and possibly even 7's when I got the loupe out to look close. It is an interesting set with an interesting history, that is for sure and I know the guy put a lot of time and money putting it together...why he would have stored it in a book in 9-pockets is beyond me, but oh well. I agree with the $1200 value but I guess he doesn't want less than $1800 and doesn't want to split it up or have any cards graded. Thinking I will be giving it back to him in about 7 days!! Thanks again for all the input... always appreciate the info and opinions!

H&S sold a set last year for $1,400, which means consignor probably got closer to $1,200

anyone have pictures of the Nixon card.

i thought story the cards were stolen from his car or something? so he just never returned them and only signed a few.
