I had already mailed most of my PSA graded cards to COMC to sell myself on their site. Mailed three sets/lots to an auctionhouse where they didn't get the bids I was hoping for.
Will be selling the rest through COMC or the local antique mall I have a booth at. Probably will stay in the hobby, but not collect the same way.

John....if you don't mind me asking, what were the auction houses that you used that you weren't pleased with the prices on?

The new Vintage Nonsports Auctions from our sister Net54 Nonsports board. Cards were listed very fast with a good description, and the service was excellent. Just got lower bids than I expected. Was kind of hoping after a few days of no bids that they would not have gotten any bids at all... and then I could send them to COMC. I'm sure some sellers were very happy with the bids.

Have one more big complete set that would probably do better as a set break through Greg Morris (#1 PSA T51 Murad Colleges Master Set).

From my experience non sport buyers are extremely cheap. They take the top on cheapness on card collector......and non sport unfortunately is deader then a door nail.

Depends what you have. Vintage Breaks has brought a lot of people into collecting sets from the 60s again that they have stock in. But yes, it's a graying market where there are more sellers than buyers.
Mainly the super rare or super high quality is doing well in Nonsports.

And while some of my items were rare, they weren't in the best of the condition and found limited interest. Whoever bought them will have nice break-up value, though.

interesting topic; personally, I have been slowly going through my accumulations, {much to big to call it a collection after 20+ years of mostly buying & some selling} but I was thinking the same thing. There has got to be a better way to expedite this process. I mean selling 500-1000 cards/year on ebay, is not earth shattering.

Hmmm... You think there might be some correlation between these 2 statements?
