Hello Everyone, recently my uncle passed and in doing so left a very large collection of magic cards and boxes with boosters behind. Most if not all come from before the Fallen Empire set. I am definitely looking to sell them but want to know what is the best way of doing either putting them on this site, getting some of them encased, or looking at another site. If some would like to see some of the cards i would be glad to email pictures or even insert the name of the cards I have
9 booster boxes of homelands untouched
4 booster boxes of Fallen Empires untouched
Thought Lance x 4
Blood Moon
Helm of Chatzuk
Reflecting mirror
Deathlace
Verduran enchantress
sedge troll
and many many more
Let me know what you would do in my situation
Thank you for your time
I also found some revised starter desks unopened

Honestly, I would do something like eBay then. Let the market work itself out while you sit back and collect some cash. Those unopened revised decks are 👌🏻

Is there any tips or trick that anyone has that i should take into account when I go to sell, Like where to get pricing for cards and how to let other know that i am not trying to scam them.

You can see on eBay what to expect for: Homelands Box - About $175 - $200 each
Fallen Empires Box - About $150 - $160 each
Revised starters, about: $300 each, sometimes more. The others - well, we need to know which set, if they're from Alpha they're worth A LOT more than if they're from... 4th edition. It all depends.

That's all i could find currently, that being said the way i judge them o be Alpha is by there color (normally able to find a 4th gen comparable) and the border which was cut a less of a 90 then the new versions. if any one has any idea on prices i would be most grateful.

Alpha cards are valued based strictly on condition. Even beat ones are worth something, but the difference between LP to NM to Mint is significant. I'm assuming these cards are black boarded (with rounded corners) and not revised or unlimited or beta?

If you want to quickly liquidate this collection I would suggest going to a local store or hitting up a large store like Starcity Games. The reason being is that while you could sell this over a longer period for more money individually, eBay is risky (lots of fraud, buyer always favoured when there are allegations) and requires "sweat equity" - as in, you'll have to send cards out individually. You do not necessarily get a good price on cards on eBay as well, because its an auction and everybody who buys there is cheap. If you have zero or very few positive feedback some people won't buy from you too.

I'd put any alpha rares and uncommons on ebay, even if you're feedback is poor. SCG pays out the least of any store, I wouldn't ever consider selling to them. They are just going to resell for double whatever they pay you.

If you are going to sell to a large online vendor in general (but not always) CardKingdom usually has good buyouts pricing.
