So bbcexchange is auction off an entire set of 1955 Topps All-American in PSA 8 card by card here. Now conventional wisdom is that there are very few, if any, sets that would sell higher if sold as a whole as opposed to individually. As such, Steve is doing the right thing ... not that he would ever, in a million years, need my advice. SMR for a PSA 8 set (as of April 2008) is $15,465.00. Any guess as to the final tally? Over or under?

    I may be wrong but I would think that would bring in much more than SMR if it was consigned to a major auction house, although I have no idea what kind of "juice" it would end up being but I would think that would still be the best bet.

    The 1955 set is one of the most collected football sets in the hobby. I am close to finishing a raw set with the starts in PSA 6-8. Bidding on common singles, especially raw, can be an adventure.

    You really can't go wrong selling cards from this set. You don't need an auction house to make out decent.

    With BBCEs reputation I am assuming Steve feels he will do just fine w/o an auction houses efforts.
    Currently completing the following registry sets: Cardinal HOF's, 1961 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, 1972 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, 1980 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, Bill Mazeroski Master & Basic Sets, Roberto Clemente Master & Basic Sets, Willie Stargell Master & Basic Sets and Terry Bradshaw Basic Set

    I can afford to buy a couple cards toward my set, so I'll be bidding on maybe 3 or 4 cards. I can't afford to buy the set.

    BBCE does have a great rep and following, I don't know or haven't heard of anybody afraid to buy from him, so ebay is probably an ok venue for him to sell them.

    Hopefully all the cards bring the right money except maybe the ones I want image

    Well, all the auctions have closed and the total bid price for all 100 cards in PSA 8 was $24,024.98. As noted above, SMR on a PSA 8 set is $15,465.00. Of course, it would have been less work, but do you think he would have topped the $24,024.98 if sold as a set? Below are the individual prices for each card.
