I would appreciate the help of our group.  I would like to get an idea from everyone how much BV I would need to put up for sale in HOF Rookie cards from any sport to net $200.00 quickly. Or how many hof cards should I put together(from any sport) in  a lot to net the same $ amt? If anyone here is into Hockey or Basketball I am getting out of those sports and could put together a great deal for that person. Please LMK your thoughts. Thanks, Wayne !!!  (family1)

Wayne, it really depends on what brand(s) you have to offer.  Maybe create a list of what you have and maybe others gan give you a fair assessment.

However, to anser your question, pricing varies greatly.  My knee jerk reaction is you probably need $400 in BV.  One thing you can do it go to somewhere like ebay and see what the same cards are going for.

How are you defining BV? That probably needs to be answered first. If BV is the prices on this site you might need $2000 to get $200?

It might also depend on how and where you are selling. One $200 lot is easier to put together but there are probably more buyers that could afford a lot if you had 8 lots for $25 each to sell. If you are selling on here I would think a quick way would be to create say 8 lots for $25 that are first come first sold and then start adding some additional cards to the lots that aren't sold every day or every 4 hours until you sold all the lots? 

I'd say it mostly depends on the era of the cards. You'd need a bunch of them from the 80's and 90's to equal just a few vintage-era cards. If you mean by Beckett BV, you might need about double BV for vintage and triple or more for modern (1980+) cards. Most people that care about BV look to buy for 25-35% of Hi BV, but will spend more for vintage in better conditions.

I would agree with all the above points presented and even add that the determination of "worth" of each card would likely be the most difficult in ascertaining due to age, condition, etc. Smaller "lots" likely would be more successful in raising your target. Many factors to consider to what on the surface should be a fairly simple question. Good luck !
