RE: Getting out of the hobby
Sell as many as you can individually then take the rest to a shop. They'll give you about 10-15% of BV. You'd be better off to give them to goodwill and take the write off.
I like cards serial numbered 34/xx

+1 yea sell as many of the bigger BV individually as you can and then you might try player/team lots and maybe auto/gu lots or something like that. Sorry to hear your getting out , good luck to you.
You might also wanna try COMC if you dont need money super fast. Also it might be worth checking out one of those places that says they will sell your stuff for you online...there is one in my area but never tried it.

Sorry to hear this. At least you have your priorities straight...cardboard last!
Also, if you are looking to sell I would be interested in ALL low end rookies, and maybe even base.
Please PM me what you have (if you are interested), and how much you are looking to get.
Thank you, and best of luck!

RE: Getting out of the hobby
Always hate to see someone leave the Hobby. I have slowed quite a bit b/c i changed my focus and have contimplated leaving quite a few times.
Hope things turn around for you and you find a job and are able to get back in the hobby i'm sure you still love.
