Consign Raw cards?

handyman

Hey guys, Who do you use to sell a group of raw cards? Something like 3-4000 1968-1974 Baseball cards. Is there anyone who y'all use for something like this? I'm not asking for them to be individually listed but will also list them properly and get the best result. I tried probstein a year ago and after a few months I had to ask him to mail them back. So I'm looking for someone else other than him.
Any help would be appreciated.

Depends on whether you'd prefer to go individual cards sales vs. large lot. PWCC sells raw/ungraded lots and occasionally some higher profile raw singles, but if you're going all individual you could consider COMC.

If you can ship them to Probstein why can't you list them on Ebay and ship lots to the buyers. Your idea of listing them properly will likely not be the same as a consignment shop that will take that sort of lot. It will be a difficult consignment to handle incurring a large percentage of fees relative to the value. Sell it exactly how you want it to be sold yourself for the best result.

Yeah these are not my cards and someone is asking me for help on who to use. Yeah I think 1 -5 lots might be all needed for the group. Is pwcc fee for raw like 50 percent or something?

I inquired with Greg Morris earlier this year about a few thousand card lot of 60's baseball consignments , and they were mainly interested in complete/near sets. But said they did buy mid grade commons from those years.
Consignment Rates were generally $.25 plus 25% but negotiable. Never followed up for an offer

Thanks Ill look into greg as well.

What about someone who could just list it as just one lot and as a collection then?
Does anyone have a list of consignors?

You would probably be looking at 20% or less with PWCC, not 50%.

Why not just DIY it? It's been over a year now and it sounds like you're looking to move it all in one lot. Just spend an hour and list it yourself. Whatever you lack compared to how the "pros" would do it you'll surely make up for it in avoiding what sounds like an exorbitant consignment fee.

Because the cards are not mine. I also do not have the cards. The experience I was talking about with Prob did not involve these cards. A friend is looking for a consignment seller so he can send them to them.
