Questions for dealers

Oh it would all sell. Everything sells for a price. .....it's just that the price could be cards for literally a few cents (or less) each.

And to be honest, even at that rate I think most dealers would decline.
The space needed, time and work involved, and once the best of the best was gone... there would be a lot of valueless "residue" left over that would never sell.

Uhh I don't know Leon.... Low grade 1970s commons? I think you might have trouble giving those away.
And even if they did sell, how long would it take to reap in those pennies per card?

I only buy cards to 1969 so you are probably right. I understand some later years go for 10 for a penny and less. I never said I would do this, btw.
I have 6000 or more decent commons, hof'ers and stars from the 50s-60s I have been selling at shows for the last year. I am not buying many more of those right now and I have reverted to going back to more pre-war buying and selling .

The 70's are in VG-ex to ex.

The 69's are the same

Every thing in the 60's is VG some better some worse

50's is good some better some worse

That's pretty much what I meant Stephen...

1970s commons in VG-EX are low grade.
As are 1960s commons in only VG or worse...

I honestly think most dealers wouldn't touch it...
but if that's the route you try and go, I wish you the best of luck.
