Sorry for interrupting the daily talks about basketball, but I need some help.
As a kid I used to collect cards and wasn't in it for anything really just liked having them. Now as a college student I want to get back into it to make money and to get prize pieces that may be worth a lot of money some day. My hard earn money that I have been saving in the bank hasn't been accuring enough interest for my liking, so I was looking into the 2012-13 Sp Authentic Basketball Card 6 Box case for $645 and plan to only keep the big hits that come out of it as an investment and selling the rest on ebay to break about even. I did the math and if I kept all of the big hits that came out of this which would be 18 cards (hypothetically speaking all the 18 autograph cards were all big hits) I would still be selling off all the cards at a minimum of 92 cents to break even. I plan to first try to sell them for $2 each to see if I can double my money. Then go to $0.99 starting bid. My question is does it sound like a good idea? I am just looking for an opinion because I don't know the card world that well. The only thing I'm afraid of is that they won't sell. My whole plan is to use the money I make to keep buying more and more hobby boxes down the road.
