Im trying to sell baseball cards and some basketball and football cards as well?

Question

I have about 1000-1500 baseball cards a lot of which are late 70's and 80's. I have Bo Jackson, Nolan Ryan(rookie card as well) Barry Bonds, Mark Mcguire, Ozzie Smith, etc.

Answer 1

I have over 15,000 in old shoe boxes :)

There really isn't a strong market anymore for sports cards. Five years ago, you could have gotten some serious money for the Bonds, Big Mac rookies. Don't know how much they run for these days, but it's not close as to what they were going 5 years ago,

Overall the market for sports cards is weak. Regardless you sell them online, at a shop, or whom ever. If you sell them in shop, you will get no more than 50% of what the card is worth. The only way you will sell those cards, that's if some one is willing to buy them. They will control the buying power as well. Being that it's a weak market, you don't have much options. If one person is willing to pay so much for something, another person might not be willing to nothing period.

I would recommend selling them in Ebay. Don't try ripping people off. Most people who buy cards through Ebay know what they are doing. Be very blunt about the product description and don't charge 30.00 dollars for shipping and handling,

Answer 2

How much do you want for them? I may be interested depending upon your asking price.
