LARGE signed card collection ALL sports. 1953,1955,1956 Partial SETS ADDED

vintageinvestments

I am looking for feedback to start off here. I am trying to find the most economical and less intense way to sell off the balance (30,000-50,000) cards of the find I purchased 2+ years ago. These would be mostly all commons from every sport. I am thinking perhaps offering team lots, year, or brand lots here first? Any input from the auto experts would be greatly appreciated. All HOFers, most deceased, and most stars have already been pulled and put into eBay store. There will be more home town heroes and semi-stars etc. in the large mass for sure, but for now just assume all commons. Most years/brands have little to no duplication which will make it nice. Here is what I am thinking as far as breaking them down:

Minor league baseball
Major league baseball 1950s-1990
Major League baseball 1991+
Basketball pro
Basketball college
Football NFL
Football college
Football european or CFL
Hockey pro

Certified from packs:
Hockey
Football
Baseball
Basketball

Should I just mix in the certified cards with the hand signed cards? Also would it be best or more profitable to offer everything in just teams?

Any input greatly appreciated.

Teams is the way to go!

SHould I make large team lots or smaller ones? How much could I expect per card in team lots? I know obviously the 70s and early mid 80s would do better than say 1990s and newer.

Thanks

Sometimes just switching two letters around in one word can DRASTICALLY affect the meaning of your sentence.

Looking like Topps years, then teams are the way to go. Need more input.

OK I have worked this week and separated all super nice (8-10) quality signed cards to start in group offerings. These remaining large groups will be autos that may be personalized, smudged slightly, beaded up, faded, or in ink, etc.....basically lower quality. Most have issues but some have nice bold autos. The minor league cards, however, are mostly nicer because nothing was pulled out. The basketball lot is for everything in basketball so you get the higher quality with the lower quality. I want to first see what interest I would have for the big bulk part of the collection.

Lot #1: First I have around 15,000 or more minor league issues along with major league rookies and minor league rookies. Additionally there will be approximately 8,000+ major league cards all the way from 1951 and newer. Most of these are Bowman, Topps, Donruss, Fleer from 1950-1989. I will get more exact counts later if we have interest. There are plenty of star power and HOFers in here ($5-10 and up to $30 each per me ebay sales)......1 thousand+ of those. An example would be 1950-1959 96 better autos (stars, HOFers, deceased), 1960s stars,deceased, HOFers (61)..... Again I will get more detail soon. I am looking for a buyout price of $16,000 for this lot.

Lot #2: I have more detail on this one. Basektball 1670+ cards.....everything: collecge certified autos (90), College (217), WNBA (64), NBA/Pro (1308)
1970s commons (71), 1970s Stars and HOFers (53), 1980s commons (90), Stars (31), 1989-91 Hoops commons (95), 1989-91 Hoops stars and HOFer (43), 1990s+ Commons (643), 1990s+ Stars/HOF (228)
Looking for $3,200 OBO on this one.

Lot #3 Football: Looking at 8,000 +/- with 600-700 of premium players, HOF, etc. Everything from 1990 and on is all in the lot. The 1989 and earlier will be alot of lower end autos, ink, light.etc, personalized, etc. Looking at $7,500 OBO on this lot.

Before I get blasted with IMO's, I plan on uploading pics sometime this weekend if I draw any interest on a lot this big.

I will be putting the premium (8-10) quality autos in smaller groups by teams/years etc. in the near future. These will average $2-5 each in groups depending on years and how many premium players are in each lot.

Thanks

Had to edit. Some of the football boxes has some baseball mixed in so I had to reorganize and count. Prices updated with photos to come today. I will post lists of name of the premium playes from all 3 groups later. Taking alot of time organizing. Thanks for any interest.
