First, I wanted to make sure this is allowed. Will remove immediately if not, but couldn't find anything in rules against it.


UPDATE: Sent it to auction:

1959 Topps Complete Set PSA 6+

I have a complete set of 1959 Topps Baseball that I'm considering selling, and thought a fun way to do it might be to do a group break, selling the 572 cards each as an $18 spot (to include all postage/supplies) and "randomizing" the list once filled. Obviously, that's a lot of spots to fill, so maybe there's not enough interest, but I thought I'd open up the idea here to see how many people would have interest.


Breakdowns of grades is as follows:

6 270

6.5 19

7 160

7.5 2

8 1

8st 3

8oc 85

8mk 1

8pd 6

8mc 7

9st 0

9oc 17

9mk 0

9pd 1

9mc 0

    So we would buy a spot for $18 and could get a mantle or a common correct?

    Yes, that's absolutely correct. I figured upside is pretty high and downside is limited, as the least you walk away with is a common PSA 6 1959 Topps, which I think SMR is around $8-$10. Most of the stars/HOFers are all 6s, Koufax is an 8oc as is the Gibson, which is a truly beautiful card. Can post scans of the biggies if people think there'd be enough interest.

    I've always had a taste for gambling and you are right that the downside is not so bad. I would be interested in a slot or a few but I don't think you will have enough takers on this forum.

    You will probably be better off consigning them or, if you have the time (and it will take a lot of time), selling the cards individually on eBay. Selling yourself would also require buying over 500 mailers and having to deal with a lot of customers. If it were me, I'd either consign the set or maybe sell it over the course of a year.

    Daniel - Thanks for your input. I decided to go ahead and put it up for auction. I have a PSA 7+ of this set, so can afford to let this beauty go. Here's the link for those that are interested:

    The Mantle looks good. What will hurt the sale of the set is the fact that all but a couple of the cards that grade above a 7 have qualifiers. Good luch with the auction.

    I guess we'll see, but I don't think that's necessarily true. My research and experience indicate that an 8 w/ a qualifier typically sells for the same or more than a non-qualifier 6. Maybe I misread though, and you weren't saying that it will sell lower than an "all 6" non qualified set.

    Couple of hours left on this one, and at an ABSOLUTE STEAL of a price right now..........
