It sounds like you have several T-206 cards. They always have demand - Hall of Famers, semi-stars, and even common players in great shape or commons in poor shape if the card has a rare back.

Leon L., our fearless leader, allows front page auctions. You may consider contacting him and discussing what you have to see if you can create a front page auction lot or two. This would allow you to sell several cards at once, which reduces time, shipping, etc.

It would also save you from meticulously researching each card’s potential value and setting a price. The auction market would tell you the price. From my observations, the front page auction hammer prices are fair for both parties.

Just a thought. Welcome to the forum, and good luck.

I would take your cards to a show and meet with a reputable auction house, not to consign necessarily, but just for them to give you advice on the value of your cards, which ones to get graded, etc,... beer chug.gif

Just research some and you should be fine. There are good suggestions in this thread. Good luck!
