Need some advice from the eBay experts on selling a partial set.

Howdy folks! I have not posted on here in quite sometime, but I'm looking for some advice!

I've decided to sell my almost complete hand signed 2014 Topps Heritage Minor League Base Set. The 4 missing cards are Carlos Correa, Javier Baez, Oscar Taveras, and Eduardo Rodriguez. Should I sell the whole set as one, split some individuals up, groups, etc. Then would I do better with an auction or fixed price? I would greatly appreciate some insight! I've attached some pictures of the cards. Thank you everyone!

Just curious if there's anyone that can give me some advice.

No advice for you, but just want to say that's really cool! Lots of stars in there. I can't imagine there's much of a precedent for selling something like this. Just out of curiosity, what's a ballpark price you'd be happy to get for the whole thing?

I have no idea to tell the truth.

Break this up to maximize profit. However, baseball season just ended so you need to decide if you can wait until Spring 2023. Right now, list the Judge.

I agree with gododgers. I would wait until next baseball season and sell individually to maximize profit.
I would also send some of the key cards in the set to PSA to authenticate
Either way, good luck.

Perfect! I can definitely wait until Spring Training. I just wanted to be sure though. Thank you all!

List the Judge now.

I’m guessing do an auction because I don’t know a buy it now price.

I see a bunch have sold, asking price on a lot of them $300-500.00. All the ones I saw were best offers accepted.

I don't know how to find out what the sale price was, but there's a way to find out.

Maybe someone here could find out for you.

Good luck with your sales!

Thanks! I'll look around and see how I can find the accepted price!

How much have they been going for?

giantsfan20 · October 9, 2022 6:32PM

Nice.

Did you obtain them in person or through the mail?

Graded ones have been going for about $300-$450.

I obtained all of them through the mail. Took a long time too!

I just got back my PSA/DNA QuickOpinion™ Results for the Aaron Judge autograph, Likely Not Genuine. So I took the listing down until I can send it in for 100% Authentication.

If it was done TTM, were the cards protected in a card saver or sent raw. I have not submitted cards TTM, but some stated not to use a card saver as the autograph might just go over the card saver itself. However, it does leave the card vulnerable. How has your experience been?

About 95% of the cards were done through TTM. Purchased the other ones. Whenever I send a TTM, I never use a penny sleeve, card saver, or anything. They are sent raw. I've had very few of my cards come back damaged. Luckily the person usually wraps the card in paper or in the letter I wrote.
