What is the best way to sell unopened cases from 1970-1980?

Hi,
I have been selling cases of baseball cards that my late husband left behind but it is becoming very tiring to deal with all of the phone calls and visits from collectors.
I have spent time researching and there are many auction houses out there. There is also Steve Hart which many of you have suggested contacting.
At first I wanted to try and handle this all myself since that is how my husband liked to sell things (though he usually was just buying) but it is simply more than I can handle at my age.
After clearing through and organizing much of the collection I still have 20-30 cases (wax, rack pack, cellophane and vending) from most years in the 1970s.
If you have any suggestions please message me, I can schedule a phone call or visit if I feel comfortable with you or whomever you suggest working with. I'd prefer a company that has been around for many years.
I am based in Philly and make frequent trips to New York City.
God bless.

Let's see some pictures!
You came to the right place! Lots of buyers here!
Yes, pictures!
Cash.
Im surprised that quality collection hasn't sold yet. Welcome back and please post pics. That will help sell them fast with minimal effort. Pics!
With that kind of inventory and high value Heritage Auction house will send a representative. Thats a lot to trust a stranger to visit your house. Depends who you trust though??? Its what Im asking myself now.
I love Jenny

Is that Jenny Finch?
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Like the 75 Topps case that she had!!
I see banned members are back under the new platform.
Jenny, with the new forum software it's so easy now to post a photo. You sales would go easier if you posted a photo of either the wax cases or of a Sasquatch/Yeti. God bless!
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
After you buy all of Jenny's 1970s cases, save some money so you can buy the 1986 Fleer basketball wax cases that she has in her spare bedroom.

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 understand being leery of people. You should just sell to those who already have bought some of your cases. Im sure they got great prices on rare quality cases so would like to buy more. Did you limit how many they could buy?
Please PM me.
I am in agreement with this.
And where's your grandson anyways? On his way to the Cayman Islands?
The lights a little bad but they're separated by sport, then by year, then alphabetically by cello, rack, vending, wax.
I think everyone would agree that we should be trusting and give people the benefit of the doubt. I also think that with the number of posts concerning this "stash" and requests for help from the board I would think that a show of good faith is in order by the potential seller. Several people have asked for photos of these claims, and like the earlier poster stated with the new software a photo request should take 20 seconds. I think at this point a photo should be posted on this site to show this is legit.

Jenny asked me to post this for her:

That is beyond funny
Oh my. I blew a snot bubble funny.
No pictures = Full of.....................baloney
love the bigfoot photo
This is all I want to discuss here. I have a discussion in the selling area where you can ask other specific questions if you would like.
I'm trying to be very careful here as these cases have proven to be much more valuable than I originally thought. I'm sorry if I don't understand everything you ask or speak of but I appreciate all of your patience.
Thanks for all the prayers, advice and well wishes.
God bless.
Prayers? Umm.... okay.
Good luck with your sales.

Ok, well I'm not religious or anything like that, but I did pray that Jenny's GoogleMaps app would malfunction and send her here. I promise not to run her off like the Jehovah's Witnesses or the local home realtors if she does make it out this way.
You ask " What is the best way to sell unopened cases from 1970-1980? ".
STEP 1. Actually prove you have a item for sale ( for example a PICTURE)
STEP 2. Without Step 1, there is no Step 2
Nothing more than a farce thread from someone with too much time on their hands.
I'm sorry if I don't understand everything you ask or speak of but I appreciate all of your patience.
I'm sorry Im but a caveman and new to the ways of your cardboard world. A strange world with little men living inside these pieces of cardboard. Then you imprison them in a world of plastic with strange numbers. I have boxes of imprisoned little men and would like to sell them to a good soul who will release them from their prison.
Just joking. If you don't understand what "please post a picture" means. Then look up photo, camera, or picture.
Strange that you can use the internet, start a thread, post a reply but don't understand what post a picture means.
Why won't you sell to those who you have already sold to and trusted? Again, please PM me.
Oh, I just ripped a 1952 wax pack and found a Mantle. Im willing to trade to avoid the hassle of cash.
I would contact Baseball Card Exchange.
Here's a LINK to the exchange (PRESS link - it's live).

IMF, thank you for your kind response to JennyF. Many prayers to you, and God Bless.
Auction house for what?................You have nothing to sell.
Perhaps Jenny could learn a thing or two from Smitty's, who enjoys posting photos incessantly. Quite the antithesis we got going on here.

Listen, you have been given great advice time and time again. If you still have no idea which auction house or which vendors to contact...then we can not help you any further. You are not the victim here, so quit playing that card. You are obviously not 100% clueless since you found this message forum. Call Steve @ BBCE. He will help you out either through his services or he will point you in the right direction. He is a stand up guy and runs the largest and most respected unopened sports card outfit around. People on the forum trust him (hence why he's been referred to you about a dozen times).
If you continue to play the clueless widow, no one will believe a word you say. Either you are completely dense or this is a fairly decent attempt at trolling.
Now excuse me while I get into my Lamborghini to go get some coffee (just saying it makes it true....right?)
Grim - are you driving the red one or the black one today. Always get mixed up which one is your weekend car
Prayers......
Kiss me twice.....let's party.
1. Passive aggressive way of saying GFYourself.
2. Or they tend to leave out the last part of the sentence "...your upcoming PayPal case."
Personally, I would open the cases. You never know when you'll find a Roberto Clemente rookie in a pack where it doesn't belong. It'll be the last card if you post it to share for more excitement.
