1988 Topps Tom Glavine Rookie Bulk Lot Find
Hey guys,
I recently bought a relatively large vintage collection and as I was sorting through I came across a smaller box of about 350 1988 Topps Tom Glavine Rookie Cards all in EX-NMT (More Toward NMT), many in my opinion could get a PSA 10. Do you think I should sell them or wait until he is inducted into the HOF. I think right now I could probably get rid of them at around $0.50 a piece. Let me know what you guys think. -Nick

If you can sell them at 50 cents each right now
It's a slam dunk to do so. 1988 Topps is not ever going to have massive price increases and thus take your money and run. The HOF annoucement will have slim to none impact on any of the 1988 base card prices.

A quick check of ebay shows 9's and 10's not selling real well for $7 and up.
So, I don't think wasting grading fees on them is the way to go. Non graded are also not selling at $3 and up.... So I'd move the bulk lot if you can. |

Glavine rookie
Wasn't there a "glossy" version of this card that might be worth more?

Yea, here is what Im going off of. Recent ebay sale of 400 sold for $0.50 each. Im not in a hurry to sell them but I knew $40 was well worth it for the lot I picked up. PSA 10 Glavine's are harder to come by and usually draw like $17-$25. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-of-400-1...item2ecca01bba

I would sell them to the first person that will buy them. They made enough of that card to sink a boat and usually right around induction time there is a small increase in sales that stops as quick as it starts. There is a nice post on ebay's forum about this subject.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/150-1988-TOP...item58a8476904 Even at that price, you still double your money though. I would try a BIN and see how it goes. Another consideration is that you say EXMT for some cards. Any card less than NMMT to MINT will be considered essentially worthless in this year and should be discarded from the lot, because there are 80 million Glavine RCs that are still MINT to this day. |

Wasn't through eBay. Bought it off a local card dealer. But, hopefully dealing them at the card show will pay off.

dime box
These go in my dime box at shows. I usually end up blowing them out in a bulk lot at around a nickel each. I tried them in the quarter box for several shows and they don't sell.
In reality they are commons. There are probably several million of them out there and the price will never increase. If you can get 40 cents right now take the money and run. Rick
