After three weeks of sorting, counting and boxing up cards, the time has come for The Sale. True, I’ve been selling cards for the better part of the last three weeks, and I have done fairly little to promote this cause other than my cathartic writings telling myself it was OK to part with my precious cardboard.

But finally the time has come for the much-anticipated portion of the Purge — the sale of the team lots.

Heading into this process I had one major problem that I knew would be a little off-putting: the cost of shipping. Sending one or two cards is a fairly simple process. But sending lots of cards anywhere from 200 to 1,300 can be a tad expensive, and so I have decided to use flat rate priority shipping for any lots that have more than 700 cards. Don’t be scared away by the $10.70 shipping cost for most of these lots, that is indeed how much it will cost to be sent.

Anyhow, here are links to all of the team lots I have available. All auctions end on May 7, about 6 p.m. PACIFIC. If so inclined place a bid on your favorite team. If not, thanks for reading. I’ll be writing Part Four sometime in the next few days.
