What is the best to move from modern into vintage?

Ever heard of COMC? Great place to send your $2 and up cards and sell them, then use the money to buy vintage cards on their site. They have thousands of sellers who run various sales all throughout the year. Biggest sales are during Thankgiving Week and "Spring Cleaning". You can choose to just sell on COMC or add Amazon and eBay cross-posting.

Yea I thought about Craigslist, but I hear too many stories of people being killed or hurt or robbed when they go to meet someone for a Craigslist deal. So that kind of turns me off of that idea.

Hope that helps.

I've thought about just boxing up everything and sending it to COMC. But trying to sell dime box base doesn't like it would be worth it to me. That's why I may just throw everything into team sets and try to get like $5 for every team. That way I'm at least getting something for them.

Yea, I think I've just decided to sell on BST. I'm going to break them down into team lots for like $5 or something. Surely someone would pay 10 cents apiece for cards of their favorite teams.

Try a good flea market in your town. You might get a dealer type offer you a couple hundred bucks for your stuff. I'm not sure team sets are a guarantee anymore just b/c sorted by team doesn't mean they will sell in $5 batches etc.

I just met the Craigslist person at a busy Wal-Mart parking lot during the day on my lunch break. No issues at all.

Just meet in front of the police station. A lot of stations have designated zones for that stuff these days.
