I was wondering what is the best way to start selling my cards. My plan was to start auctioning them on ebay with a "Buy Now" option and start the auction at a high enough price that I wouldn't just be basically giving the cards away.

Does anyone have any advise for me as to the best way of going about selling my cards?

I was also wondering what is the best way to determine the value of cards that Beckett doesn't give pricing for (basically #'d to 10 and less) I just pulled a Crown Royale Wayne Chrebet Living Legend Auto 1/10 yesterday and am just curious. I also have a printing plate which is of course 1/1, and a Daniel Thomas Rising Rookies NFL Shield Auto/Red Parallel 5/5.

Any help is very much appreciated.

As for selling, I sell most of mine over there on fleabay. People on beckett will not part with their money. I've tried listing star JSY and insert cards at 20% and they want to haggle me down from that. When I tell them I'm not interested in going any lower, they'll say something like they were looking to buy for around 10%. WTH is that about?

So, it's tough to sell on here. I just bought some cards on the old Naxcom site (not sure of what it is now) so you may try there. There's other sites as well besides fleabay. Good luck.

That said, if you really want to sell the card you have to compete with the other people selling the same card on ebay...regardless of what the Beckett listing says...cause that's not reality anymore.

There are a lot of good members here and have tons of stuff to offer. Would be a great chance at getting some other cards you want. Especially if you're a player or team collector.
