My Yard Sale
I had a yard sale over the weekend. I put out a table filled with boxes and boxes of new (1980-present) shiny baseball cards. I even had some 70's stuff and, for fun, a beat up 1940 Play Ball common. While my yard sale did rather well, I sold more beat up old comic books than baseball cards. But I did manage to sell a 1987 Donruss PSA 9 McGwire for $5.00; a 1996 Score Yankees Team Set for $5.00; and a 1994 Emotion Rookies ARod for $2.00. That was it -- $12.00 in baseball card sales in a Yard Sale that pulled in over $400 on a Saturday, so you know I had a lot of traffic. Even though I had a box of 3,000 commons priced for $15.00 -- nobody even made an offer on that. Anybody got any bright ideas of where to unload commons by the penny or even nano-penny?
I had a couple of T206 reprints on my table (Cobb Red Back and Young Throwing), which drew some eyes. One guy said he loved old tobacco cards, and so I showed him my autographed T201 Nap Rucker and T202 Davy Jones cards, which I had inside and easy to access (most of my "good stuff" resides in a safety deposit box). He was really impressed by those, but I ain't parting with them anytime soon -- let alone at a Yard Sale! I know sometimes people talk about great Yard Sale finds. Anyone ever have any luck (or fun) selling pre-war cards at a Yard Sale? I'm not talking about setting up at the local flea market or church attic sale. I'm talking about a solo table in front of your house. Anybody ever do that?
