Need advice on helping move a TON of overproduced sets.....

[chowell3fan]

If this comes across as spamming or such, please excuse me from the get go.
Here is the situation. My wife is the director of annual giving at a college here in CT, and a few months back, someone donated BOXES upon BOXES of complete sets/unopenned wax from 89-92. They are moving from the office where the cards have sat (my wife totally forgot about the donation) and she asked me to assess what they have. What I see is a bunch of unmovable stuff. HOWEVER, i turn to the hobby experts and ask for suggestions. Is there a way to move, lets say, 15 Factory Fleer 89 sets? or 40 boxes of 90 Donruss wax?

If they're sealed/unopened then they aren't totally worthless. You could sell them in lots, but expect $5ish each.

That is kind of what I was thinking, and the $$ aspect really doesnt matter too much, as it was a donation....i think at this point they just want everything gone so they dont have to take it along for the move.

well, UD 92 had the Williams auto that everyone tried to pull.. I have busted over 8 boxes but yet to see one. if you have unopened wax of that people should buy here.. I might.

Here is the kicker....NO upper deck to be found. Only Fleer Topps and Donruss. ::facepalm::

that would be a sick pull

Check with a company/store like dave and adam's if they will take them all off your hands in one fell swoop

might not add up to much $$$

but better then nothing

Thank you all for your advice! I appreciate it.

1990 donruss had the Elite Series. Now, these cards have possibly been searched with a metal detector, but...

1989 Fleer has some interesting rookies in it.

Putting each brand/year up in an eBay auction should garner something.

yeah, Ive opened hundreds upon hundreds of packs looking for that one card. theres a non-auto'd version, so every few packs I would pull it and start to freak out... . . . only to see it was one without the auto

boxes were around 7 at DA, but the cheap wax it cluttering my house so I cant try anymore.

dontate $100-$200 to the school for all of it and RIP AWAY. Then burn 99% of it.

Sent you a PM regarding donating the donated boxes...

There are no Elite inserts in 1990 Donruss. The first Elites were in 1991.
