Default Considering Selling Off My Autos

Hey everyone. I've been toying with the idea for a while now, and I am thinking about selling off the large majority of my autos and going to the card side completely. All of the forgeries and my inability to become an expert has left me somewhat disillusioned. Has anyone here ever done this? Can you recommend an auction house that might come to me to get everything as I don't want to even think about shipping all of this stuff or doing this piecemeal. Not sure yet what I want to do, but your thoughts would be appreciated.

I think Heritage has an NYC office, Lelands is on L.I., and REA is in NJ, so you could start there. If there is enough value they will come to you.

Don't forget about the B/S/T section....most trusted individuals here can send payment via Paypal Gift and you get around all of the 18-20% fees you would pay with the big auction houses.

Thre are plenty of high rollers here ready to spend money on good autographs.

Thanks guys. All good suggestions. I think I have a number of nice pieces (feel free to browse in my flickr album), but I don't think I want to piecemeal stuff out if I decide to go this way. I'm certainly not sure I want to sell anything and may just stick with what I have (and probably keep adding if that's the case). I don't believe I've been burned, but I have been thinking about this for some time and appreciate your input.

if you go big auction house route, they'll probably single lots your nicer pieces (signed tobacco, young, greenberg, lajoie...) but group the smaller lots anyways.

were there alot of interest when you made the t205 walsh/t206 marquard available? probably best bet to big auction house them to get most eyes on them, that's why they charge 20%. if you list them on the board expect alot of back n forth and tire-kickers etc.

another suggestion would be consigning them to richard/jim for their client list but that will also require some work hammering out prices for each piece.

Those Christy Walsh releases are great. I picked up a Jim Jeffries and a Victor McLaglen when they were being sold off.

The best idea so far. Give the people here a chance and safe yourself 20 percent. Trust me if Jim and Richard see a good deal they will pounce on it.

Jim I left the door open go for it.

+!, especially if you have just the 50 listed on your site..I'm sure you would sell fast.

Last time I used the Paypal Gift option to send to a monetary "gift" to a fellow OC member, I got dinged for the 17.5% fee. If I recall correctly, I was presented with the option of paying the fee, or having it deducted from the "gifted" amount.

Has anyone used it within the past month that could chime in as to whether they had to pay a fee for sending a cash gift via Paypal, and if not, what was the monetary size of the gift ?

Not if you use your bank account. If you use a debit or credit card, you get the fee.

Thanks for all the responses. Let me address a few different issues:

1 - For everyone who sent me PMs/Emails about individual items, thank you for your interest. I am not looking to sell item by item, but if I change my mind, I will surely let you know and will do my best to try to keep track of what everyone wants. Niederman, I know what you are lusting after!

2 - To the auction house reps that emailed me, thank you. I appreciate the emails and I will be in touch if I decide to sell. I will obviously be looking for the lowest seller's fee and the highest circulation.

3 - To Jim, I am not really a salesman and have not sat down and worked out prices for each item, nor do I intend to. That is part of the reason I am looking to go the auction house route (along with getting as many eyes on the collection as possible). If you, or anyone else wants to shoot me an email with a ballpark for a total buyout, I'm certainly game.

4 - To those who sent me emails urging me not to sell out, thanks. I appreciate the encouragement, and I may just decide to put things away for a while rather than sell off. I got a stern talking to from my wife this evening along those lines, so that may rule the day. Regardless, its good to know what my options are, and that was the whole point of the thread.

Thanks to all, and to all a good night.

Greg, my thanks. That explains the solution I was seeking. I will not make that mistake again.

Thanks again.

Just to update this old thread, I've consigned the better part of my autograph and card collection with Love Of The Game Auctions -- including signed T206 (Wheat, Marquard) and T205 (Walsh) cards, two Cobb autographs, and a signed letter from Hugh Jennings to Hugh Duffy. Happy bidding folks!
