Does anyone here collect or know of a serious collector of sports cards? I need to sell a literal gem of a collection. The last collection that I sold anywhere near this one sold for $10,000. I will sell this one for less. I would truly like someone that I know or an acquaintance to get this, rather than a stranger from Ebay. The collection is fairly evenly distributed among the three big sports and includes not one, but two authenticated Michael Jordan autographs. That should give you just a taste of the magnitude of this collection.
I can send photo's and an overview to any serious candidates.
Blessings,
pa

No problem. Keep in mind that there are hundreds, even thousands of cards in this collection. There would be no way to describe or even picture all, but I will give you a random sampling. The picture links are a random overview of the collection. This is not all of the best cards pictured and the rest worthless, etc. My cards are in three locations so I honestly don't know what all I have.
All of my cards are certified collectibles by verified companies. There are literally hundreds of game used and autographs alone, at least 1,000 and probably more. I know there is a Dale Earnhardt autograph and many other nice cards not pictured. There is also several unopened boxes of Scoreboard Collection cards from Kobe Bryant's rookie year. Imagine the opportunity to open a pack fresh Kobe autograph?!
If you have questions about the pictures or other specific inquiries, please let me know.
Here is a link to my album with random pictures from the collection (note - any blurs or scratches are likely in the case or scan and not on the card):

Mac,
It could but I like to stay away from Ebay fees. This collection broken down would bring several thousand on Ebay. For times sake, the best way to sell this collection on Ebay would be to break it into 3 or 4 smaller lots.
As I stated before, I really want this collection to stay together to someone I know or an acquaintance if possible.

Rare cards
There are many rare cards in this collection also.
The Walter Payton is signed with "Sweetness" also. How many times do you find that? There are 1/1 press plates used in the making of cards. There are unique jersey and patch swatches, etc. Some of these cards don't book in the guides due to scarcity.
This is a really nice collection.

Okay. I must sell this collection to recoup some losses. I need much more, but will sell now for the SICK price of $4,000. I can't tell you what kind of steal value that is... One card alone cost me $800.
Again, I sold the last collection a few years back for $10K. This one is almost as nice as the first and I really need at least $7K. To offer for $4,000 is a huge sacrifice for me. Great investment for future or make money now on Ebay. (I don't sell on Ebay anymore for personal convictions or I would do it myself.)
PM me if you need more information.
God bless,
pa

That sounds like a crazy good deal.
It's a stinking shame that during tough times EVERYTHING gets devalued. Sounds like a person interested could instantly double the cash invested by investing and holding a few years.
Again, the widest exposure would be via Ebay. Sell the whole lot and include the ebay fees ONTOP of what you want. Make it clear in the auction.
Surely somebody will bite on this. As an example.. TONS of homes were purchased from foreclosure. A sign that people still buy great deals. This sure seems like one.
