Need some advice, mes amis, from those experienced in sports cards and memorabilia.
Giving some thought to selling my collection of sports cards and sports memorabilia dating back to the 1970s, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Whether to sell it on Ebay, privately, etc... Any advice? You might want to PM me. One of the issues that I'm having is that some of my high end cards (e.g. Ken Dryden, OPC rookie card, and Wayne Gretzky OPC rookie card) have not been professionally graded. It ups the value considerably to have your cards professionally graded, but it costs approx. $100 per card to get sent away to be graded, and the length of time for it to be returned is one year! I have a number of valuable cards that are in excellent condition, sharp corners, centred, etc...but I don't want to take a hit on the selling price because they haven't been professionally graded.
What does this have to do with the London Knights? Glad you asked...
Included among those items are two game-worn Knights' jerseys (R. Rupert, Foudy), London Knights hockey cards (team sets), OHL (formerly OHA) programmes and year books dating back to the early 1980s, London Knights game schedules, 2005 Memorial Cup memorabilia, etc...
I suspect that my Gretzky rookie card, autographed stick, and first Gretzky Sports Illustrated (cover with no mailing label, near mint), and other non-Knights items will be of more value, but there's definitely things of interest for Knights/OHL fans. In any case, looking to sell, not sure the best way to go about it.
