Need advice on buying a collection

Post by Heath »

I've encountered a somewhat decent collection that someone is wanting to sell. There's a lot of silver age stuff. They've named a price and I'm thinking about it, but would really like some advice. I'd need to sell some of it myself to help recover my cost. To do that, some of it might need to be professionally graded and I have no experience with that.

Can someone with experience in this, who might be willing to help, shoot me a PM?
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

If you give us some more feedback we can help you. What books are they, and what are you looking to flip or hold? I'm sure you can get lots of good slabbing advice, but we would need to see some pictures (which I know you probably don't have).

P.S. Unless you think someone else is going to offer them to buy the lot, you might as well counter. Have you seen the lot yet?
