Another t206 question~ What's it worth?

I sold virtually all of my set of 520 a few years ago. The entire thing was graded by SGC. I broke it into different groups and singles by grade, scarcity, HOF, SL, toughies, backs, etc. I was rather pleased with how it turned out.

You will get people who will pay a premium for bulks of T206 cards -- you know, a big lot of 75 or so to get someone well on their way to a complete set.

The bigger the group, however, the smaller the market for the cards. The trick is to maximize price and market by pulling in collectors and dealers from as many interest points as possible.

There's definitely a premium to be paid on a slabbed set over a raw set. Just look at the Legendary results. The difference in cards between these two lots are: Cobb/Green, Crawford/Bat,Elberfeld/Wash.Port

Mostly raw "set" of 516 (Grades 53% VG to VG/EX (with a few nicer)) sold for $27,500:

All graded "set" of 519 (averaging 4.23, VG/EX-VG/EX+) sold for $65,700:
