Description

One of questions I recently received was “How do you go about sorting these large collections you buy?”
The answer really depends on a couple things.  First of all, what is your end goal?  How you sort is dependent on how you collect or how you sell.  Do you sell on COMC, eBay Sportlots?  Do you sell singles or primarily put together sets and player/team lots?  Those are the types of things you need to be thinking about when coming up with a sorting strategy.
For me, I sort into 6 main categories.
1) COMC - Cards estimated to sell for $1 -$20
2) eBay - Memorabilia, complete sets, and single cards $20 and up
3) Sportlots - base and inserts
4) Card Show - junk wax stars, local team players, hot stars
5) Personal Collection - What cards or sets do I want to set aside to keep for my own collection
6) Bulk - everything else goes into a big lot to sell on Facebook Marketplace
Buy your boxes, toploaders, and other sorting supplies from a local LCS or pick them up on eBay or Amazon using these links if you’d like to help support the show!
Take a listen and let me know what you think!
