Best way to sell vintage collection

[56Parkies]

Hey, fellow HI'ers

I've decided recently to part with my Edmonton Oilers OPC collection, and wanted to pick the brains of people who'd have more knowledge than I do with selling sets..

Right now I've got one of every OPC card featuring an Oiler player from the 1972 WHA OPC set through 1989-90, as well as some oddball items like the 1973-74 Quaker Oats cards (2 cards), the 73-74 OPC Posters (2 posters), the 1985-86 Topps Stickers and 1989-90 OPC Stickers.

There are a total of 300 cards in the collection, and I want to sell them to focus more on my other collections.

So.. the question is: How is the best way to sell it? Should I put it on eBay with a BIN? BIN/Best Offer? Put it at a buck to start an auction and let it ride? Have a more experienced eBay seller list it for a commission? Sell it on here/another board?

I sold the Gretzky rookie separately, however the remaining cards are all complete.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

I would piece out the better rookies and sell them individually (Messier, Fuhr, Moog, Kurri, etc.) and then maybe list some of the others in lots. Just my two cents.

Thanks for the feedback, Terry. I may pull the rookies and other higher end cards and sell those individually, and the parcel up the rest per season and see if I can do well that way...

I've been looking at closed prices on some of the key cards, and there seem to be wild differences on final prices for some cards..? I've seen a Messier OPC Rookie go from anywhere from $30 to $80, for cards in the same condition.

I've never sold cards on eBay -- how do you maximize your final prices as a seller? Any tips out there?
