Selling My Collection Questions - sdm19 - 12-05-2023

First, I am new to most of this, so please forgive me.

I am 63 years old and have two adults sons.  I have been collecting since I was 11.  My sons have no interest in my cards do I am in the process of liquidating my collection.  I have a mostly football and baseball and probably have half million cards, some figurines and memorabilia   My plan is to try to sell what I can on Ebay, then give away the rest to a non-profit such as Goodwill or St Jude's for the tax deduction.  I welcome any comments

What do you have for sale? I might be interested in buying some of your stuff.

Good luck....not knowing what you have....depends on what you want to do. and how hard you want to work for it.

Here would be my starting point - .5 million cards @ 1/2 cent per card = $2,500 - go from there. Again, how hard do you want to work and "squeeze" $ out of your cards. Remember, 5K boxes of cards can be had for $10 or less depending.

Think about COMC for your cards that can sell fairly quickly (months not years). IMO cards with an actual worth (not bs "book value") greater than $3 -and have small COMC populations......send them in and let them do all the work.

Again, good luck......
