The best return would be selling them individually on eBay. It is a lot of work to do it yourself and if you have good feedback you should get good results. Or you could use a consignment service to list it on eBay for you. |

since all your cards are graded, you can do a little research on ebay and vintage card prices web site, you can check what similiar cards sold for,using that info you could list the common cards on the buy sell thread right here,with set prices you are comfortable with.probably with out scanning them. t205s and t206s are very popular w/collectors here. you can then auction the Hall of Famers/ southern leaguers / tough backs etc. on ebay or again sell here with set prices. this would save you time and put more $$ in your pocket. |

Dennis is correct. I hope you put some on the buy/sale/trade board here. I am always looking on that board for T206 cards. |

If you were to go the auction house route, I'm sure that nearly all of the big houses would be willing to cut you a decent break on their commission rate. It sounds like you have an impressive collection, and that should make them all clamour and drool! Just keep in mind that some prices will likely be down as the result of the economy. If I were in your position, and if I felt I could, I would hang on to EVERY card that I knew would fetch a better rate in a brighter economy. |

for the more common cards / variations / grades, I'd say eBay them. For the better cards, I'd go with REA if you can wait until their next auction, Mastro if you can't. |

I don't think a big auction house is the best way to go if you prefer to break it up, because the big houses will just regroup them. In that case, you might as well leave it intact. |

...but I see far too many 4's and 5's (and not nearly enough 1's and 2's) for my budget. |

Since they are graded, subscribe for a month to VCP, get an average of the last 3-4 sales of each card for the grade, and add them up. Take off 10% for recent economic conditions, and list on the B/S/T. |

I had all of mine graded by SGC -- at the end I paid $5 per card to get the last 200 or so graded. It was a $1,000 investment, but it was WELL worth it. |

Some good suggestions. But I believe the 100th anniversary will have absolutely no influence on prices. |

Ebay could be good, but you should consider how much your time is worth. Selling a few hundred cards individually on ebay is a big time commitment. I would consider consigning to one of the smaller auction houses like Barry's that will divide it up into multiple lots (perhaps organized by team or grade or whatever). One other suggestion that would probably sell a good chunk of them is to put a big list on the BST here. Be clear that prices are firm, include shipping in the US, and go on a first come first serve basis. You will probably sell a lot of them that way at the price you want and without consignment fees. Set the prices at fair levels. If you set them too high, you will just be wasting your time. Then consign the rest. |

Ted's advice is sound just do not name the set " My 206's for sale" |

I know little (or nothing) about registries, but wouldn't using the PSA site only work for cards that were PSA graded? Several of the cards George listed on the B/S/T are SGC. |

George. 2 years ago when graded cards where at they're highest I sold all my PSA graded t206's. I had a great set with about 400 cards with a bunch of 6's, 7's and some 8's. To avoid any fees at all, I e-mailed all the people in the registry stating that my set was for sale. Within 1 day half the cards were sold. A few of the big buyers paid by check so there were no fees at all. I'm talking $15,000 to $25,000 checks. |
