Mmehdy Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 My wife has given me the a choice, your comics or your cards must go before we get the car in . Some background on me, I have been a comic book collector for over 55 years, buying FF1 off the newsstand. As a young boy I also collected cards...the cool ones...Mars attacks, baseball etc and all my 1960's stuff never made it with me in a move around 1966. In the early 1980's I went back into baseball and all types of cards head first. From 1982 to say 1995 I was serious collector...over 100,000 cards. We then moved and the wife said, either no more comics or cards, you pick one, I continued to collect comic books. Now that we are buying a tesla....well I need the space to put a charger and car into the old garage. So, here lies the problem. I have not really paid any attention to the card market in the last 20 years or so. Should I sell the entire collection in one shot or possibly piece it out and where would be in your opinion the best way to go about this. If any board member would be interested please pm me.

shadroch Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I'd put the boxes in the trunk and backseat of the Tesla. bug33fouf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadroch Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Are your cards in top loaders? I have boxes that hold 3200 raw cards but only about 800 top loaders. I'm looking for bulk commons from 58-75 if you have a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Cards are cool, but comics are the bee's knees. I have other hobbies, including some cards (MtG), but I can't imagine life without comic books. bug33fouf and jimjum12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_signs Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I've been down this road. I had to present a third option; cards, comics, or wife. I still have all three and my collectibles were never spoken of again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Hageman Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Do some research on sold prices on eBay, I think you would get A LOT more if you pieced it out. It's going to be way more work, but I think it would be worth it. CHASEnBLUE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
