So, I've come across my boxes several sets.

Should I keep the sets as they are? Some of which have never been opened

Or, should I open the sets and put up the cards for individual sell?

Thanks for your guidance!

Depends on the sets. I'd check the completed listings on ebay to see what your sets are fetching, then take a look at the key cards in the set and see if you can make more by pulling those. The downside to that, of course, is that your stuck with a bunch of sets that no one will ever buy because they're missing the best cards.

I believe the unopened factory sets will usually be worth more than the key individual cards, which haven't been graded. Doing a search on completed auctions is a great suggestion. I don't know of a case where the individual cards would sell better, unless lots for that set sell really well. I once sold a 100 count lot of '90 Leaf commons on Ebay for $20.

I agree with jhyde about the unopened sets. List those & add in the listing or description the keys stars or rookies in the set & that should help fetch more looks & money. The opened sets cherry pick the key players & list individually or make team lots. Good luck!

It really depends on the set. There are plenty of sets that are worth more breaking them up then selling as a set. You can always donate the leftover commons, after breaking up a set, to a Children's hospital or Card4Kids or some other similar organization.
