Need General advice about selling T206 Set

and that's what you asked for so.....

From your post it sounds like you really are ambivalent - as long as you are - I would put them away somewhere till you have greater clarity. Should that clarity lead to selling - I would be sure to grade the HOFers, rare backs and any if there are that are possible condition rarities. Anything currently ungraded that doesn't fall into that category, is probably not worth grading. Auctions houses are one and done - they do the work and take their commission (you should easily be able to negotiate no commission on your end - just the buyers premium on the other side. Depending on the value of your time and how much of it you are willing to spend - you could likely do a bit better through BST here and ebay. Most importantly - when in doubt - wait till you have clarity - you would hate to have that sick feeling of having sold something that you decide you really didn't want to after the fact.

Oh, I totally agree- if you don�t have to/want to sell, don�t. Keep the set. It will only go up in value. My response assumes that you were a seller.

Sell individually and groups on Net54. You�ll get great prices and not pay any fees except shipping. That�s what I did when I about 400 to sell a year or two ago.

Thanks for the responses. What I have always liked about this Group is the passion about collecting. I am at least a year away from making a decision but really appreciate the advice I have already received.
Any advice from you guys I consider good advice.
Thanks Again

.... And now the wet blanket Debbie Downer stuff....You might want to consider
speaking to your tax guy before selecting a time for dispersal of 400 T-206's.....selling them all in one year will more than likely put you into a hefty tax bracket , but if the sales are spread out over , for instance , from December of 2018 to Jan 2020 then your profits ( safe to assume profits?? ) can be spread out in your financial favor......just a thought...

I can't speak to this as I'm not a financial/tax guru. However, I was going to suggest looking at piecing it out - selling the commons first, and saving the big stuff for last - and if the above is true, then this would definitely be the way to go.

That is always an option but could an AH get more eyes on an item and therefore more money for the same items? Depending on how valuable one's time is, and all that entails selling, along with added eyeballs, going the AH consignment route isn't a bad one for a lot of collectors.
