So, about a week ago, I was poking around eBay when a listing caught my eye:
"100 DIFF MINOR LEAGUE TEAM SETS 91-94 W/ STARS 3000+"
$34.95 plus $19.99 s/h. All-in cost was $58.74 or just under 59 cents per set.
At that price, I figured it was time to start a little project.
What am I going to do with 100 thirty year old minor league sets?
- Go through them looking for grading candidates and open those sets.
- Attempt to sell the other cards in the open sets as singles.
- Attempt to re-sell the other sets at a profit.
Will I get a few grading candidates out of the lot...I hope so. Will I make a little profit selling off the sets and singles. Will the profit be worth the time I'll invest sorting, listing, opening, and subbing? Probably not...but hey, it's a hobby, and this should be fun.
If this kind of silliness is amusing to you, feel free to follow along. If not, hope you don't mind ignoring this thread where I post about the process.
The sets...a whole medium flat rate box of them:
