I've been buying too much, especially on ebay, but have only sold one small group of cards, consigned at an auction.
I am trying to figure out the best way to get the most for these: 1961 Topps baseball. Over 1900 Cards. About 84 are graded.
There is at least one card of everybody, except 415 Aaron and Campanella. So there is a decent near set, and much more.
All conditions, a few poor, many average, many above average, some very nice. It seems like a lot of the auctions prefer graded cards. Any thoughts on what I should do with these ? thanks. Mark H.

    I'm talking out of my pop-tart here, but try Facebook buy/sell card groups (I just started with them and there is interest coming in). Ask around here for vintage baseball specific ones and I'm sure there will be some suggestions

    Can you post a few pictures of the raw cards? I don't think anyone here has any idea what you mean by average or above average, and may have serious differences of opinion as to what "very nice" means.

    I will try to figure out how to do that today. I have bought a lot of graded cards, but never have been one that can tell the difference in the raw cards too well. But they are definitely all conditions. I even had a couple of rack packs opened. I would say at least half are EX or Better, including high numbers.

    You might need to complete the set and sell as a set. The rest of the cards totally depends on condition....especially the commons. They may need to be in lots based on condition and series.
