TOPPS 2007 ROOKIE CARDS

[bettimoor-0]

I acquired a lot of 14 NBA Topps rookie cards from 2007.

They are assorted players and assorted teams and they are each in their own plastic sleeve/protection.

This is my take on selling these:

I want to sell them as a lot, as is.

They have not been graded nor do I even want to go there. I looked them all up and 2 or 3 sold for a decent price and all are worth a few bucks each but I just want to flip them with no promises made and no returns or refunds expected afterward.

Do all cards have to be graded or is this something that I can just flip as a lot and basically be done with it?

They would be a good set for a young starter collector or who knows there may even be a gem in there.

I just do not know enough to even begin to put a true value on them. I don't want to deal with the grading and such because I understand you can really get burned, especially if you don't know much about the process/procedure. Just not my cup of tea.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Don't bother grading them if you don't want to. Look up past sales for each card and discount somewhat if you want someone to buy them all.

You will have to look up each card. Very easy and won't take long. Type 2007 topps rookie and include the name of the player. From there go to the left side of the screen and click "sold" listings.  Once you see the sold listings scroll down about half way through the list searching low to high. Add up all 14 cards and that is the approximate you should expect. Probably a little less as most collectors will already have half of those cards.

You might try listing them as a lot in auction format. From what I can tell in limited listing as "buy now" in thta price range, cards listed above $250 have to go into the eBay authentication process. Also, it seems like "buy now" listings are sitting much longer than auctions, so you could probably move them faster as an auction. Good luck with them.

Do keep in mind that there is no such thing as no refunds. If a buyer opens an Item Not As Described claim, you are still on the hook for a refund.

You only have 14 cards, here as though, as mentioned above, try to get an idea on what they've sold in the past as mentioned by @coolections then see if you divide your lot and mix /match some players within the lot. The idea is trying to get people bidding on the lots, instead of just one lot. Maybe you might get more $ overall. Also, list the lots a few minutes apart from each other. 

Just a suggestion. Take care and good luck.

Yes, I understand that about returns, I just don't want someone to think they have been graded or have high expectations of what they are.

I will take good clear pictures and my description will certainly state exactly what it is they are getting with the purchase. Like I said they may even come out a winner.

Thank You

As stated in my original post, I did look up each card and 2 or 3 had sold well and the rest just a couple of bucks each. I may just do the auction on them, I normally do Buy It Now, but maybe this is a different animal that needs a different approach.

Thank You

What you want to do is simply not how eBay works.

eBay requires you to accurate describe the item and then stand by that description.

[donsdetour]

selling as a lot you most likly will get a return as item not as described: then when you get em back, you will be missing some or junk added to removed items.

List em individually or in small lots of say four...

I understand how to sell on EBay, I currently have 500 listings.

What I don't want to have to do is spend the money to have these graded, I want to sell them just like they are for one low price.

Like I replied to the other post about this, I will accurately describe them and they will have very good photos.

I am just not a Trading Card Dealer and I don't want to be.

Someone will probably be getting a really good deal with these because I will be selling them at a really low price. 

Also I have had very few returns on my account, only a couple.

Thank You for your advice.
