All of the free time I've had from not having to commute five days a week and not going out of the house very often made me go through all of my cards in the past few months.
An influx of money made me buy more cards than I normally do.
I finally ran out of money and cards in storage and decided to really look at what I wanted to keep and what I could move in some way.
Here is what I decided I don't need.
There are more boxes at the bottom of the stack. That stack of graded cards includes every graded card I have. They are pretty much crap as most of them are BCCG cards from repacks bought over the years.
The stack has many, many base cards of all sports but also includes some vintages cards, many Hall-of-Famers, and a bunch of memorabilia and autographed cards. Most of these are from 2011 and before.
If someone in the Atlanta area wants to take them off my hands and is willing to pick them up and carry them all down one flight we can negotiate.
At this point I'm not willing to go through them to looks for specific players or teams or to fill peoples base needs. I want to focus on other things.
Here is what I am keeping for my PC.
The big box is all of the singles from sports and non-sports, many of which have been featured in the last few posts. The rest of the big box and the 400 count box contain some complete non-sports sets.
The 2010 Babe Ruth "cereal" box contains some rookies and 1st Bowman's from this year and my Series 2 Topps 206 cards that I may or may not decide to keep.
Notice there are no binders or graded cards. All of the cards in soft sleeves because they are for me. I like thumbing through a stack of cards and flipping them over or sorting them how I want. Right now they are sorted into scanned and not-scanned cards.
I will be doing random posts on certain cards explaining why I am keeping them.
Hope you find people that will take you up on your offer. If I was anywhere near you, I'd definitely be there to help you out.
ReplyDeleteNow that's some serious consolidation. I'm sure you'll have no problem finding this collection a new home.
