@jkfreedo_92,

I know several sellers who have been collecting sports cards since the 1950s, and I am sure there are many, many more who have been collectors for years. Many probably have been downsizing since sports cards suddenly became wildly popular once again during the Covid lockdowns.  The chances of you having a lock on the market of their rookie cards, for the players you named is nill, given the status of those players.  Unless the cards you owned were slabbed and had authentication numbers which you recorded, you have no way of PROVING any card listed on ebay is one of your collection. If you did have the proof, you would still need a Police report listing the stolen cards in order to get ebay to pull the listings.  eBay could run into serious legal problems by removing listings from sellers, just on a person's say so, without absolute proof of them being stolen cards.

Only about 1% of ebay members visit these boards at all. The percentage of people who read the  specialty boards is a tiny fraction of that 1%, and it is doubtful they will report the cards mentioned to you, since you cannot prove the cards listed on the site are/were yours.

You have posted the same topic on 3 boards, which violates ebay's board spamming policy.  You also double posted the topic twice on this board. You can go to the other one without replies, click on it and in the upper right you will see a circle with a down arrow in it. Click on that and scroll down to Report inappropriate content.  In the text box write, "I accidentally posted my topic twice, please remove this one".   A moderator will do that for you.

As for saving collections as a way to pay for education or providing an inheritance for family. Do keep in mind that eventually they may lose value. It is true of comic books, sports cards, movie memorabilia, toys etc.. 

  If you do collect things that will hold value, you should insure them, which does involve providing purchase prices, and photographs of each item. That should be updated and provided to your home owner's insurance provider quarterly.  Then you would at least have some protection against theft or loss due to fire, or natural disaster.

I would never accuse anyone else of theft based on the internet claims of another.  Sports cards are mass produced and athletes have regular events where they provide autographs.  This was your hobby, something you enjoyed for 30 years, not a sacrifice like a second job shoveling coal.  Local police and insurance agents are equipped to handle this situation.  EBay sellers are not vigilante thugs working outside the law. 

By the way I have never even heard of Derrick White, Lonnie Walker or Mo Bamba...
