That's $13.46 per card. At the minimum $20 that I was calculating, that's a $170 profit. If we raised it to $25 per card, that's a $300 profit. I'll let you decide if that's enough profit for you, but I'd take that on strictly the more common cards. There's also a lot meat on the bone for the 7 higher end cards - you could profit big time with those. At $850, that's $25 per card, which is the average price of a common, and you have 7 HoFers in pretty good condition. If you resold each HoFer at what you paid for them ($25 each), that's $175. But I calculated their resale value to be $500 in total. So that's another $300+. All in all, you have room to profit $550+.

Sorry if my explanation is confusing at all.

No I truly appreciate the information. He is mulling over the offer. He said it's fair but wants to think about it.

One thing I will say is be prepared to sit on them, or get creative with how to sell them (lots, singles, different outlets, etc.).

If I just put each one up for auction starting at 9.99 would that work?

I have learned - by experience - if you have a minimum you want to get for an item, set the starting bid at that minimum. If you wanted to do a quick sell, you'll minimize your profits, but reduce the time you'll be sitting on your money. I'd look to start the auctions at $15 for the most part. Do research on each individual card. Check sold listings, and sort by Lowest Price + Shipping. Always base your potential profits off of minimums.

If you are looking for the a quicker turnaround, the 26 individual cards won't reap you much of a profit. Like Bruinsfan said, you'll want to maximize your profits with the HoFers and Lundgren.

Thanks guys! I hope to get them!

I pretty much agree on the prices. I think you really have to make sure you make as much money as you can on the hall of famers and the Lundgrenn. The two browns are key cards here. The end panel is pretty worthless, and I think all the t205's would probably go in the $15 range on ebay. The common t206's should sell 15-30$ if you take your time, but commons can go pretty cheap on ebay and most places. I think you are very safe at 850 because of the HOFERS.

I'd still consider getting the HOFers graded. The 2 M.Brown cards could bring in $500 alone. They look like they'd grade at least VG (3).
