On my travels i have come across some Football (translation for those in the US Soccer) trading cards and stickers plus some bp and esso world cup collectors cards now are these of any value and is it worth opening another store to sell them in? or if they are worth anything is it best to sell the in lots or inderviduals?????

Not sure if this helps, but a few years ago on another site, I sold some old silk embroidered cigarette cards. I'd done a bit of research into their value and found some to be of high value, collectable and very sought after, whilst others were of some value, but not very sought after.

As I wanted to be rid of them all, I divided them into lots by size and sold them that way. (They were a mix of cards from packets of 10's, some 20's and the others were larger still so they could have been cigars). Because each lot had the sought after ones in, they reached quite a high figure - well, higher than I had originally expected - so I was pleased at a) the amount they sold for, and b) getting them out of the way

I'd sell them as singles myself some people will pay good money for the right one, I recently paid £10 for an old Millwall trading card,and that was a bargain

Very smart, that it is old auction trick of mixing the so-so stuff with the really terrific stuff in lots/boxes. You sell everything and make a good profit that way as opposed to selling it piece by piece and having the so-so stuff sit forever. Sometimes creating or staging a listing (having big lot, etc) is just the push things need to sell.
