Selling an entire collection logistics/payment question.

It could be happening. Possibly selling 30 years worth of cards for 1 large sum. If it does happen what are some tips on going about meeting in public and getting paid in a manor where you can't get scammed.

Go straight to your bank.

Wire at your bank.

Or meet at the National or Fanatics Fest and do a combination cash and PayPal gift payment right there?

For some reason, the idea of you selling all your cards bums me out.

Yeah bank for sure. You can’t trust people in this hobby. I’ve been selling off a lot too. Still grab a few new ones for small PC. But most of the good is gone except Brady.

I collect falcons. Right now Jalon Walker and Xavier Watts Topps chrome. Hoping to win some golds, camos and team logos currently.

I think getting an understanding of how many cards you are talking about would be helpful.

30 years of collecting could be a garage full of wax and 3000ct boxes or it could just mean a couple pelican cases worth of high end stuff.

If the person is gonna need a UHaul, not sure you're gonna get away from having it all picked up at your house. Have people there, record it.

Otherwise, meet at a solid public location (bank, police station) and swap it there.

Good luck!!!
