How do I sell my baseball cards?

I have so many baseball, football, hockey, and basketball cards that I don't know how to sell. They are all mostly early 90's cards, mostly Upper Deck brand. I probably have somewhere between 40,000 and 100,000 cards. Many are factory sealed complete sets, some are unopened packs, some are in 800 or 3200 count shoe box style, those that were worth at least a quarter in 1996 are in card pages, those that were worth 3-4 dollars or more are in individual card holders. I have a 1984 Topps John Elway in near perfect condition, I have Barry Bonds rookies, I have so many more that I don't hardly know what I have. The problem I have is that I no longer am up on who are the sought after cards. All I want to do is get rid of them and will take half Beckett book value just to get rid of them. I just have no idea how to get rid of them but in a way that I can get at least 20-50% of their book values.





So, my question is what is the best way to sell and best way to list what I have?

How do I sell my baseball cards?
You have four main routes to sell your cards. Sell them yourself at trade shows. Sell them as one lot. Sell off your collection piecemeal. Consign your collection to a dealer who will attempt to sell it for you. In any event, a collection your size will take a bit of time to sort through and sell. Give up the hope you will get half Beckett for anything you have. The card market is much softer than it was a decade ago and if you truly wish to depart with your beloved collection, be prepared to humble yourself to the reality you may get 15 percent of what you feel its valued.

Reply:Keep em. The card market is as low as it's been in many years. I am holding all of mine for that reason.
Reply:ebay or off on the street dude Asses
Reply:ebay or pawn shop
Reply:I would try to find an appraisal shop and go that route first, or try a convention, put an ad in the paper, or a free ad on the radio, or try a sports store.
