Aren't you Invest in Baseball?

COMC is awesome for buying, no idea on selling.

COMC is great for selling, and great for flipping. Mailing 40,000 cards to 15,000 different addresses seems like a drag, personally.

Yes, I'm talking about doing 40,000 individual listings on ebay.

As for Invest In Baseball, thanks Sean, but as you may recall, we tried to do a deal a few years ago and it didn't work out too well.

If you work full time and as such have limited time don't list more than 10 items per day or you will be overwhelmed. It will take you years to get rid of them.

I was looking at on option for selling some bulk as well. The best consigners IMO would be PWCC or Probstein. Greg Morris is hit and miss and the newer guys that have come around in the last year or two have that capability but really crappy scans (crooked and in card savers etc.) Great scans with centering get premium prices and when they are poorly done it leaves money on the table. You will probably be better off listing yourself unless you want to leave 20-40% on the table due to poor scanning. If you list yourself make sure your cards are centered on a black background to show all edges. Good luck.

Would need a staff of people to move 40,000 items. Not sure you've thought this through. Shipping supplies along would be daunting. Not to mention time and effort to ship.

If one person could ship out (pull, package, print label, etc) an average of 100 cards/hour (including both single card orders and multi card orders) and worked 8 hours a day w/o a break, it would take TEN 5 day work weeks of time just to ship out the 40,000 cards.

In reality, with 40k FP listings on ebay, a seller may realistically expect to sell 200-300 cards a day. So figure on 2-3 hours each day for one person to ship all of the sold cards from the previous day.
