What are the most liquid graded cards?

As a longtime acquaintance once told me, and I believe it's true, everything will sell for a price. If it doesn't then the price just needs to be lower.

Looking on ebay and buying a few here and there, I tend to agree. However, what others would be included in that? 33 Goudey maybe?

My criteria would be:

1) stars AND commons
2) graded by PSA, SGC or BVG
3) within say 10% of recent sales
4) most "reasonable" grades grades for the time - say ANY grade for pre-war, but 5 or above post war, 7 or above "vintage" (pre 1980)

I mostly look for T206 and late 70's, and can at least say, it better be a 9 or 10 to easily sell a 1978 Topps. 8 or below are tough, even for a couple dollars. Obviously something like the Murray rookie can sell fairly easily, Ken Brett, well...

Thoughts?

I understand the concept of a buyer’s market and a seller’s market, but in reality for each transaction there has to be one of each.

Cracker jacks seem to sell pretty quick

And a a low enough price there WILL be a buyer, is all I was saying. It had to do with restaurants I owned and how to sell more chicken.

When I first saw the word "liquid" I was thinking T206 Red Cobb. Those seem to have fairly stable prices, in the short term, in certain conditions and eye appeal.

I think the focus on set doesn't really answer the question. If you need money like right now a T206 Cobb will sell immediately at a reasonable price. And SGC 40 Frank Chance yellow portrait may take some time, and a somewhat lower than market price.

Leon, chances are you would have sold more chicken if was served with corn on the Cobb.

Am I the only one thinking of finding a print on demand like Zazzle that does corn plates and having a few made with a Cobb Printed on them?

Sorry, patent pending. For 25% of the proceeds I'm in though.

I actually thought the same thing. Always going to be a buyer at a reasonable price, and possibly even at a less-than-reasonable price for a nice-for-the-grade example, etc.

any desirable graded card is very liquid.
