I appreciate all the feedback! Learning a ton about how the industry has changed (for the better and worse!) since I got out of active collecting in the mid-80s. Enjoying it so much, I may come back in. Forgot how great it is!
I just wanted to clarify one thing--as I said in my initial post--I don't need the money. I would prefer to not sell the cards, preserve them in holders in my safe deposit box and give them to my kids someday (as I will my 70s and 80s collection). However, my grandmother gave very specific instructions that she wanted me to use the money from them to help send my oldest to college. Not to be sappy, but she couldn't afford to send her kids to college, and that's why I'm going to sell them. And you never crossed grandma!
It's just a matter of when over the next 15 years, which was the heart of my question to you guys, experts on this vintage. Obviously noone has a crystal ball as to values, but you are much more experienced than me.
Thanks again for any thoughts.
