Where can I sell a rare uncut 1999 Braves John Rocker set of 4 cards from the Boy Scouts of America Collector's Edition framed front and back?
Here is a picture of the framed set

Or a sports-collectible store, or a pawnshop. They won't give you as much money, but it'll be quicker, and it might be less of a hassle.
Or a baseball-card-collecting or Braves (or BSA, I suppose) forum. Again, though, you won't get as much money--those folks all know how much the stuff goes for on eBay, and they won't pay more.
And, as empath says, don't be surprised if this is worth a lot less than you think it is.

I've had it since 1999, I'm not a sports fan at all I just didn't know of any baseball or braves sports forums or websites where the set would seem more exclusive than just a chance encounter of somebody maybe seeing it on craigslist or ebay

Basically, you need to find a john rocker fanatic or a boy scout completist to find someone even mildly interested in this, and I would be surprised if you got more than a dollar for it even then. I would say not worth the effort to really try.

How much do you think are going to sell it for?
As a baseball card collector, I can tell you it is not worth very much. I bet the frame is almost as valuable as the cards.

I have no clue how much to sell it for... I have seen similar players online but the cards are singles not uncut like the ones i have. I really am just looking for a website or forum to post it in. thanks!

Beckett (the source for all things card-collection) has a Marketplace. That would be where I'd start trying to find someone who could tell you what it's worth (and maybe, a buyer).

There might be some people out there collecting boy scout sets, but most people want the regular cards.
