Towards the end of selling off a my collection and have about a 1000 or so inserts, parallel, sp, and #'d lot I am going to sell eventually. Is it better to just sell the whole 1000 cards as a lot or break it into teams and then sell? Any help or other suggestions will be appreciated.

i'd say break down into player lots

I would say to break them into teams, but that's so time consuming and if you only get $1 or $2 for each team lot, it's not going to be worth it because you have to list each card individually in the description and that takes a long time.

I took about 150-200 that booked between 50 cents and $10 and sold them for $1 each. I listed each one individually on a thread on here and a bunch of them moved.

Again, that was very time consuming, but I moved a bunch of stuff and made a little money as well. Plus, right now, you don't have to go through the system to sell.

Just a thought.

Let me know what you decide because I'd be interested in all Texas Rangers cards.

1) Pull out the ones that book for $10 or more; sell those as singles.

2) Any player lots you can assemble that book for $10 or more collectively, sell as player lots.

3) Throw all the rest together. After subtracting out shipping, I don't think you'll net any more incrementally by making team lots.

JMO. That's how I'd do it.
