An LGS typically gives around 50% if you want to just be done. There are some FB groups that might do closer to 60-70% if you have a high enough density of value cards. Selling them yourself on Ebay or TCGPlayer is closer to 85%, but you gotta do the work and would only be recommended for the value cards.

I’d buy the basketball ones

Are you selling them to make money or are you selling them to downsize your collection and the money is a nice side benefit? If it is the latter, just bring them to any card shop a negotiate a bulk deal for the whole lot. My friend had WAY too many MTG commons and a shop gave him like $50 for the whole box. He didn't care if it was a good deal, he just wanted them gone.

Thanks! I have a couple cards worth some money that I dont want to get completely screwed selling. The commons and uncommons ill probably take your suggestion.

The more expensive cards might be worth putting up on card kingdom

If you’re near rochester, take them to jet pack comics. (Or maybe collectiques across the street)

I think they still take bulk and will price out the more valuable cards and give you an estimate on how much they’re worth
