2014 Topps Heritage Mini Set - Finish it, or Break it?

gameusedhoop · August 5, 2014 5:38AM

I am 6 cards away from finishing this set and have hit a roadblock. I've looked on ebay, comc, sportlots etc., and only one is available anywhere and way overpriced. What would you do?

Finish it? I don't know if I have the patience for this
Break it? I do have 20+ dups to sell, and am hesitant to do this as it seems like alot of work.

I'm guessing as more new stuff comes out I will see less and less become available, as less of this "older" stuff gets opened. So finding these 6 cards may take awhile, but as I've said, I am impatient by nature and want to finish this yesterday.

After all is done, the set will be for sale, and if it doesn't sell as a complete set (which would be a shame, it may be a 1/1), it will get broken up. I'd rather finish it, as selling as a set would be easier.

Any other insights or ideas? Or, better yet, do you have the missing 6?

If you need the money sell it as is 6 cards short. If you can wait, then keep working on it over time. Then again, if you are going to sell it anyhow your profit or gain will be roughly the same if you sell 94 cards, versus paying xxx for the 6 cards and getting xxx more for the set. In fact, one could argue that the market for such a set is so small, that its unlikely to sell very quickly anyhow, and even if it does, realizing your price may be tough to make it worthwhile to pickup the 6 cards.

most people who pickup the minis are going to be singles collectors looking for just a few cards, so your best realization is selling it piece by piece....although its the most hassle.

Just my .02

I guess if I had this near set, and was going to sell it once completed, then I would sell it now rather than complete it.

Selling it in pieces is the way to go, even though it's more work. Anybody know where I can find a checklist of the minis? I might be interested in buying a couple from you.
