Seeking High Value Sports Consignments: Sold on eBay & Featured in Nationwide Media

[frankbmd]

After looking at parade.com for the first time, I'm not sure what aspect of high valued sports cards sales is enhanced by that exposure. We are pretty savvy here on Net54, and this pitch belongs in the questionable file, a round can next to my desk.

Nice Frank...and I agree...this is the same "parade" insert in some small market sunday newspapers I presume?

If so this is more a venue for our recipe's and kim K gossip...not high buck vintage collectibles.

The real question is whether or not the 'exposure' would end up like this baseball:

It's amazing that the genius IQ level columnist who writes for Parade is actually named Marilyn Vos Savant.

Tens of millions? And i thought this was the place to get exposure.

One of the best things about the Net54 board is our sense of humor. Thanks for the laughs. However, my post was serious. There will be some marketing behind this push.

Are you sure about this? I am wondering what other analytics went into thinking this was a good outlet for high grade cards to be pushed?

10,000,000 3rd graders, stay-at-home-moms or bridge-playing elderly widows wouldn't be the ideal target demographic.

To be clear, the cards will be sold on eBay exclusively

May we know your ID? (There is no sportsguy20, I thought of that.)

This thread is so confusing and definitely super vague in describing exactly what you are doing.

If this is a really serious thing I would really try to give more information on everything, if not it just becomes laughable.

Yeah, if this is legit, you need to start over and write a new post explaining who you are, why you would be a good place to consign, why you are trustworthy, etc. Right now it just reads like, "Hey bros, please send me some $5k cards, and I'll probably sell them on ebay, k thanks."

deep pocket collectors.

Back East we call that the circular file. Agree with you though, at least in the absence of any information at all about experience, track record, etc. If I were looking to move, say, a 52T Mantle, Parade Magazine wouldn't be the first place that came to mind.

Peter, you never fail to impress me with your breadth of knowledge, but in New Haven a round can is a circular file. What they call it in Kansas City is anybody's guess.

Perhaps the man at the bottom of the leaderboard can enlighten us.

Us Kansas folk just use trash eating cows.
