do partial sets sell??? three to ebay at reduced price

alnavman · August 11, 2011 10:01PM

I have a number of partial sets from the late 70's thru the 80's and also the junk early 90's. Some are missing only a few cards (1-10 or so) and some are missing less than 50 to make them complete. Question is do these type of sets sell at card shows at reduced prices??? thinking of setting up again after being away from shows for more than 4 years.....any thoughts?

thanks

There is some interest in them. Might not be worth lugging that many to a show and using table spade, but there is some interest in them.

thanks Mark, haven't done a show in awhile and not sure what the climate is like now a days.....I may just put an ad on Craigs list and in my local paper and have a garage sale and see what happens........if not I may just haul them to one show and see what happens. I used to do the monthly Canton show until my kids got older and go involved in sports and now I really don't have that much extra time to deal with the cards.....will have to try and do it this month or next before my son's high school basketball season starts.....

What sets? Are they mssing stars or rookies? What condition are the sets in?

alnavman · August 11, 2011 11:28PM

some of the sets are missing the key rookies but have many of the other stars in them. for example I have mutiples of 1983 which were made from packs and racks which are missing the three key rookies but have the other stars in them, the late 70's are probably ex to ex-mt with some of the cards better and like it is always said, some are lesser....the 80's for the most part are NM-MT.....I also have lots of many of the years.....thing to remember for these sets is that I cannot mail them.....the cost of mailing makes it not worthwhile. I'm located near Cleveland Ohio and if anyone wants to stop by and take a look that can be arranged.......I'm in the process of blowing out most of these to make room in my basement. I'll post a list later to give folks a better idea of what I mean by "partial sets". al.

Barry ... considering the OP stated "I have a number of partial sets from the late70's thru the 80's, my guess is nothing! LOL

alnavman · August 12, 2011 4:31AM

your both right, the "earlist" I have is 76, I am in the process of typing up my hand written lists which has the cards that are missing from each set....hopefully will be able to post something before the weekend is out. I'm done with the cards for today, need to eat and then get some sleep, I go in at midnight......al.

nendee · August 12, 2011 10:09PM

I'd be interested in the 76. I'll pay a card box shipping....

alnavman · August 12, 2011 11:57PM

scans sent to you from the 76's along with a list of cards missing......let me know. thanks al.

arex · August 13, 2011 1:19AM

I would be interested in scans of the 77s

alnavman · August 13, 2011 1:52AM

will try to get some scans of the 77's available later today.......I have two partial sets of these, don't remember which stars are missing but will try and get to them today al.

arex · August 13, 2011 1:54AM

Sounds good Al.

alnavman · August 13, 2011 2:33AM

here are some scans from the 1st 77 topps set. if interested PM and we can work on price...it will be low.....and hopefully make you

first scan is cards that are missing from the set....as I mentioned you won't be getting PSA 10's on these...and probably not any 7's or 8's but the price will be low

alnavman · August 13, 2011 2:51AM

found something weird when I started going thru the 2nd 1977 set......Thurman Munson numbered #2, see the scan. Does anyone know what this is really from??? I know it's not OPC, or at least I don't think it is.....thanks al. Have to run for awhile, have to go rebound for my kid......so will be away for about 1-2 hours.....but will check back later.

jeffcbay · August 13, 2011 3:50AM

here are some scans from the second set:

alnavman · August 13, 2011 5:35AM

if any interest in the two 1977 sets together in a deal, I can let you have them both for $40 delivered...now I know that they won't be producing any gem mint PSA 10's but you'll get two partial sets that may have some value to you for a low price....first to PM me can have the two sets, otherwise I'll be putting them out at my garage sale for $15 each..........thanks

THE TWO 1977 PARTIAL SETS HAVE SOLD AND SALE IS PENDING ON THE 1976 PARTIAL SET. THANKS EVERYONE WHO ASKED.......
