I'd sell '34 Goudey and the T202s.

Keep 1933 Goudey and the T205s.

Good luck with the down payment!

I'd sell the T205 s and the 1934 Goudeys. The T202 is cool and has multiple Cobbs. The 1933 set has multiple Ruths.

I would sell any cards that i could come up with a price that they would sell for at market or what i could send to an auction.

All too many times people ask about selling their cards, not saying that is happening here...and sort of want a 'make me sell' type of offer....and they dont list a price and just take offers...and ultimately dont sell any cards..

getting out of the hobby guys do this....or guys selling for a 'friend'.....

Only thing I would say is that I'd keep one set from each decade.

Thanks for the replies gents. Still debating on what to do but for sure will be getting rid of the 34 Goudey's. Still trying to decide between T202 and T205 for the other one.

You're going to wind up going with your gut as you start to move them out the door. That inner voice that moves you in one direction or other. If it was me, I'd go with the T202s, which I think are a lot more fun than the T205s.

If you talking about a down payment on a house I'd personally keep the 1933 Goudey's (one of my favorite sets) and sell all the rest for a bigger down payment and extra move in money. With the exception of 4-5 cards there's nothing in any of those sets that is really tough to obtain unless your cards are really high grade, so you can always start the sets again down the road.

There are a lot more than 4 or 5 tough cards in the t205 set. The short print cards are really tough in 5 or higher grades. There are many of them that I have had to settle for in lesser condition. I hope to upgrade later.

The only tough card in 33 Goudey is the Lajoie and #1 in higher grades. Never collected the others, so not sure. 34 highs? T202s?
