I'm thinking about selling off my BCA collection for a couple reasons. 1) They take up way too much room and I can't properly display them all. 2) I've got a couple other wrestling figure related projects I'd like to start and thought this way would give me a little extra money to get started with them. Now, with that being said, what do you guys think would be the best way to go about selling these? I know they are not worth a ton, but just about all of my collection is in mint or close to mint condition and with the large volume of figures that I have I think I could get a decent price for them. I'm thinking I'd like to get somewhere in the $300-350 range for the whole collection. I am almost positive if I sold them as a giant lot, I wouldn't get that for them. But I am thinking if I piece these out and sell some as singles, I have a better chance at getting that price for them. From my personal experience of selling off BCAs, the big lots didn't tend to work out so well for me. Selling them in smaller lots or just individually seemed to work better. That's not to say the big lot wouldn't go if you could find a hardcore collector though. If you do end up selling, I can already see a handful I'd be interested in if you go the individual route. Possibly more in that Steve Austin box!

I'm sorry to hear that you've come to this decision, but I understand that some sacrifices have to be made and collecting BCA figures is no exception. You certainly will not make back what you put into your collection, and even in mint loose condition these will not attract very many buyers in the $300-350 range. It will be closer to $100-150. I can't say for sure what you would make if you broke it off into smaller lots, but I would advice against one giant lot. Especially for the cost of shipping alone. I have to admit that I'd hope you would reconsider, but I'm sure someone out there will enjoy the figures when the time comes for you to part with them. Best of luck.

I have to admit that I'd hope you would reconsider, but I'm sure someone out there will enjoy the figures when the time comes for you to part with them. Best of luck. Still not positive if I am going to move them or not. I mean, the BCA collection has taken a back seat to several other collections that I am working on (WWE Mattel, WCW OSFTM, Packers autograph collection, and soon to be WWF LJN). So, they are like 5 or 6 on my collecting priorities at the moment. But, then again they still hold a soft spot in my heart from all the great memories I've had with them. I can tell you this though, that they definately will not be going anywhere unless I can get close to that $300-350 range. That's only about $1.50 per figure when you start breaking it down. I don't think that is an unreasonable asking price. I know for sure though that 1 large lot wouldn't work. If I am going to sell them, it would probably have to be here. Let some of the hardcore collectors cherry pick some of he harder to find pieces to fill holes in their collection and then whatever is left toss in a lot on ebay. Very curious to see what is in the BCA box Chicago. Looks to be an unpainted proto of some sort? ?

Some of my recent BCA pick ups that came in a few days ago. Getting ever so closer to completing my collection, which is kind of exciting!! I never had The Sultan and Bob Backlund when I was a teen and collecting the BCAs, so to finally get them now is pretty cool! Series 2 Warrior and Vader are a nice add to my collection, and the Droz figure is outstanding.

$30 for a Luna and Sable? That is a little high. Really the set wasn't that great. The Luna is pretty neat though the arm articulation sucks.

Sunny's skirt doesn't remove. Sable has arm articulation at shoulder cuts and a turning head only, until the thong and big boobs version was released, which has cut thighs, cut shoulders, and a turning head like all other BCAs
