So I have roughly 90-100 NIB Kenner Starting Lineups from 1988-1996. I have no idea what to do with these or how to get rid of them. They are taking up so much space.



I see the PSA graded cards (granted they get a 10) selling fairly well on eBay. Do I hold onto these? Do I break them all out of the boxes, send the cards in and hope for 10s on some of the better ones?



I don't really want to send them each in for AFA grading at $20 a pop.



HELP.
Nate

    Send a PM to Curch (Joe). He is one of the largest SLU collectors in the country. I am sure he will be able to give you some good advice.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    I would list them is the BST board. Try as individuals then maybe as lots sorted by year, player, team.........10 hockey for $xx.xx or even pick ten from this list for $xx.xx. I bought about 100 from a friend at $1.00 each and sold some in groups. I have about 50 left and into them at zero now.

    Good Luck.

    The tax deduction thing is kind of interesting.



    Every year we give away something like 500 to 1000 bucks to Good Will.



    I donate to my college scholarship fund.



    And still, my CPA - last year - told me I didn't even make it over the "standard deduction."



    So, didn't need to itemize and I own a home.

    Hiya Nate.



    I'd get a 10X loupe out and check the cards in their blisters before breaking out.



    You should be able to see if they're worth ripping.



    I'm with those that think you should got to the BST and see if there's any interest.



    I too have a boatload of them from the "glory" days.



    Not sure what I'll do with them?

    BTW Nate - are any of them Bkb Jordans?



    The 1988 SLU Jordan is a bit more hot right now.



    Tho, if any one is willing to sell one cheap? I'm sure they've looked carefully and know they have a crap card inside.



    The 1988 SLU Jordan PSA 10 card has been gaining ground.



    Last year it was an under 200 buck card, the last one just sold for almost 800 bucks.

    I would be interested for the right price. Mostly just a buyer of the older stuff, but if the price is right, I always buy!
    Always looking for vintage wax boxes!
