selling bulk autographed cards

[swarmee]

Agreed; if I had a collection like that I wanted to sell, I would group them by set and then sell them on eBay as lots. I saw that someone on blowoutcards forums was working on a 1990 Topps set completely signed and I remembered getting Tim Crews at Spring Training a couple of years before his boating accident/death. Since someone wanted to put together that set and that card would be near impossible to get, I listed it for him to find on eBay. I think that's a good solution to selling a card; seeing it go to someone who will treasure it as the rarity it is.

Similar sets and years work well and Team lots always work great too. I love to find Dodger lots, so I can get a good variety and hopefully a good deal in bulk as well, since I will take just about any Dodger card signed I don't already have and sometimes dupes.

I have a large collection that I am going to need to unload some day; lots of HOF'ers as well as commons.

Most of the cards are from the 80's with a handful of 60's, 70's & 90's.

Question: Is there a big difference in value/desirability if they are signed in ballpoint pen vs sharpie?

Personally as long as the signature is authentic and bold it doesn't matter to me. I do know that some collectors prefer ballpoint especially if it is a vintage signature
