I want to preserve these in some sort of scrapbook form, with the emphasis on preservation rather than scrapbooking cuteness, but accessible and respectful nonetheless. What site should I visit for advice, guidance and inspiration?

During my childhood and early adolescence, I collected sport trading cards and memorabilia from the 1990’s. A lot of it. During my teenage years, I lost my love for professional sports and now I’m willing to part with all of my memorabilia. What resources (online or in person) would you recommend to contact or pursue to sell my collection or parts of it ? Have any Mefi’s went through with this and offer any advice on their experience ?

I hate to seem like a crass opportunist, but would anyone have an idea what an unused ticket to the March 6 1973 taping of The Tonight Show would be worth? It's in good condition.

As a 10 year, I was denied admission (nobody under 18) during a family trip to California.

Help me figure out this auction marketing thing.

I'm thinking about selling some items from a defunct tv show. Since the current market for the show appears slow on eBay, and its fanbase seems to be pretty scattered. Fanfic, episodes guides, FAQs, etc. but not much in the way of communities. So I'm not confident an auction would be noticed by interested collectors without spreading word of mouth. Is that how this works? And if so, are there generally-accepted ground rules for (tasteful, non-spammy ways of) putting the word out?
