They had no interest in the set breaks that would be close to the opening bid for common cards and they basically told me to send in the cream of the crop only. I did not understand why they ask for set breaks, but then were only interested in key hall of famer cards and not the commons from the entire set. I would have felt differently if they had never sold these $1.00 cards before, but I've looked up many of the ones they signaled that they cannot sell and they have sold them before for other consignors so I am passing altogether.
I would have sent him quite a lot so I was disappointed in the questionable sales response...

I had a great experience with GM Cards about a year ago, by netting over 2K from a decent batch of '50s and '60s Topps & Bowman Hofer cards. But right now it's a different story. I got the go-ahead to send in a lot of well over 300 cards - what I think amounts to well over $3,000 in gross sales on eBay. Then I got a reply that the whole thing is being returned because some of the (28) Goudey cards are off-grade. They are not high-grade, but they're actually pretty nice in my opinion, including six HoFers such as Dean, Paul Waner, Frisch, and Bill Terry.
I too have to chalk the whole thing up to them being swamped and severely understaffed, but being turned down like that after being approved was unbelievable.
