Hey there everyone,

This is a tough post for me to write. I've been a baseball fan my whole life, it's peaceful for me and I love it. I've enjoyed meeting players and over the last few years have enjoyed building my collection of autographed baseballs, photos and (some signed) cards.

I've been going through some really tough times with my financial situation, it's been having an impact on my day-to-day and will be ok with parting with the things I have written down that I put together this evening.

My question is, would it be better to sell these items individually on eBay? Or is there a way to go to someone and say "hey, I have this list of signed things I am willing to part with and find a better home?" somewhere and ask them how much it's worth as a package deal? So far, my list consists of 30 signed items. One is a game used signed jersey from a current Mets player from their Double-A days. Others are signed baseballs from pretty high-end prospects, photos of pretty high-end prospects and a handful of signed cards I've gotten in-person.

My second question is, I do have a signed item (not baseball, another sport I love dearly) that is 100% worth thousands. (My baseball stuff isn't worth thousands individually, no way). But I will hold onto this one for dear life unless I absolutely have no choice but to part with that as well. What does someone do in a situation like that as well?

I genuinely appreciate any insight anyone has. The last thing I want to do is do this in the wrong way given the circumstance and how difficult this is for me to actually have to do.
