I was thinking of the donation route, just never donated enough before to really be worth filling out a tax form before. I probably have close to six 5 thousand count boxes of baseball and football combined of the cards worth around 25 cents to $1 bv and then maybe two 3 thousand count boxes of 2 - 5 dollar bv cards. Donation might be the way to go. Not sure how I would get them to you though Rich? I'm in Omaha, NE area.
That's the biggest problem with cards from that era -- shipping is more than the frigging cards are worth. You can ship over time -- to reduce the one time outlay -- BUT the best part is that for tax purposes you can use (up to a certain dollar figure -- please check with your accountant or tax preparer) -- the full BV of the cards since it is a donation. Even if you use 5-10 cents each across the board that can give you a lot towards your potential refund.
If the PO still does -- if it fits, it ships boxes with the set prices you can neatly put a LOT of cards into those boxes and the price is the same no matter how many are in that box
I will PM you my address and we'll see what your best course is
Thanks!
