I'm Sad - have to say goodbye to my collection

rookiecrd1 · February 14, 2005 12:45AM

This really stinks. I've been collecting cards for the past 20 years, and now I have to sell them as I'm moving into a smaller apartment. I feel like someone has taken a dagger and shoved it through my heart. Has anyone else had these horrible feelings when they had to sell their collection? It sucks

Anyhow if you want to check out what I'm selling (maybe you even want to bid

it's on ebay at:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5165430834

It my entire complete set baseball card collection (over 148 complete sets)

how many different message boards are you going to spam with this junk?

mudflap02 · February 14, 2005 12:51AM

When I was reading your post, I felt sad, then happy, then sad again.

kingraider75 · February 14, 2005 12:55AM

some other membes slammed me spamming my own ebay auctions. Least mine was vintage, this seems to be all of the mass produced, over supplied late 80's to mid 90's cards. Might do better dumping that a show for a $2 a set or something.

larryallen73 · February 14, 2005 12:58AM

Not that I condone his obvious and blatant spam... in the guys defense it says he has been a member here on the boards since March 2001 which is longer than most of us.

mudflap02 · February 14, 2005 1:01AM

Yeah, but he's only averaging a little less than a post a year, less if you don't count the spam.

jwasserman · February 14, 2005 1:06AM

its not just the psa boards he's hit- ive seen this lot of junk posted on at least two other boards (mods have already removed one).

whats most amazing about this is how he managed to avoid buying the good sets for every year he collected while loading up on all the over-produced crap. id never take a stock tip from this loser

mudflap02 · February 14, 2005 1:06AM

And wow - most on here would say that I collect mainly junk cards, and I wouldn't even pay for the shipping on that lot. Good luck with it bud.

mudflap02 · February 14, 2005 1:09AM

I hope they leave it up. He honestly needs all the help he can get, and I wouldn't want to have to move that junk.

lostdart58 · February 14, 2005 1:46AM

It took 8 bids to get the bidding over $2.50!!!!!!!!

coachh · February 14, 2005 3:04AM

I would bid $20 but I am afraid I would win the auction.

RipublicaninMass · February 14, 2005 3:28AM

Anyone look at his past auctions. This auction 148 sets, previous auctions, 148 griffey cards, 148 thomas cards, 148 ripken cards, etc ect etc, HEH

pandrews · February 14, 2005 3:56AM

you guys might be WAY too hard on the poor guy.. maybe he's spammed it in wrong places/too many places, but damn..

wolfbear · February 14, 2005 3:59AM

Yeah, take it easy on him.

I remember when MY HUSBAND HAD A HEARTATTACK !!!!! and I had to sell all my prized cards.

Very sad day indeed.

come on, thats a bit of an exaggeration.. i see no connection between his past auctions and his current one.. except that he unfortunately enjoyed collecting cards during the wrong era?

When I was collecting with my son, I collected the usual suspects - the closet has 90, 91 and 92UD!!!
If anyone wants a factory 92UD set LMK, it's got the 'gold' hologram and very rare!LOL The shipping is probably more than the set is worth!

mudflap02 · February 14, 2005 4:17AM

Mike-

Rfeer to my post above about collecting junk cards. I would be more than happy to take the Ryans from the Gold set off your hands.

Chromaholic · February 14, 2005 4:38AM

lol nice collection! do you want my 1992 Fleer Ultra thrown in to sweeten the deal?!?

Axtell · February 14, 2005 4:47AM

Wow, way to pile on the guy.

Excuse him for not collecting the 'good' stuff, and pile on him for legitimately trying to sell off his collection.

Jaded a bit, are we?

mudflap02 · February 14, 2005 5:06AM

I would be willing to bet that he's being piled on becasue his only 4 posts are spamming his ebay auction. If it had been for a low pop 1959 common, I would bet that the reaction would be similar.

pandrews · February 14, 2005 7:27AM

<< I would be willing to bet that he's being piled on becasue his only 4 posts are spamming his ebay auction. >>

i agree, thats pretty lame.. dudes been a "member" since 2001, and has 4 posts..

kingraider75 · February 14, 2005 8:12AM

guess he only comes on here to peddle.

rookiecrd1 · February 15, 2005 11:05PM

Sorry guys. I didn't mean to spam. I thought I saw other people posting links to auctions as well, and didn't see anything that said this was not allowed. Is this not allowed?

As for my collection, I tended to try and get a bunch of sets with the rookies in it. There are some good rookies in these sets even though the rest of the cards are worthless commons. I'm sure I could probably get about $5-10 on average for a set if I sold them individually. Maybe even more since there are some modern bowman sets and sets such as 1985 Topps, 3 sets of 1987 Donruss, a bunch (I think 12) of 1987 Topps Traded with the maddux rookie, (2) 1993 Topps Traded with Helton's rookie, (2) 1995 topps Traded with Beltrans only rookie etc.

I've been trying to get rid of my collection for a while, but just haven't had the time. I'm just going to unload everything in a couple lots now. Next I will be selling my colletion of stars and inserts. I'll post it here if it's ok..... probably won't be for another week or so.

$535 for 148 sets? Glad I didn't go crazy collecting more "modern day" sets if that's all the interest in same is...
back to my 1967's...

kingraider75 · February 20, 2005 2:10PM

That's not too bad considering what he was selling. What % of book do you think that is?

Buccaneer · February 22, 2005 10:27AM

<< That's not too bad considering what he was selling. What % of book do you think that is? >>

Book is too high for those sets.

ctsoxfan · February 22, 2005 3:13PM

$535! Wow - take that and run!

I'm Sad - have to say goodbye to my collection
