The easy answer is to search ebay for sales results for the cards listed in you posting,,,,,Joe McDonough
 

Complete sets, depending on years, about $40. The rest are most likely common cards and not much. I just sold 10,000 really cheap, just to get rid of them. Too much time and effort into ebay with cards.
 

If you want the most total for the collection I would search Ebay and sell anything with demand on there first or sell individually at your own yard/garage/flea market sale.

If you want to get rid of it all at once I would put in an auction. I would say a conservative auction estimate would be whole collection $250-$300. These all seem to be pretty common sets and baseball usually goes for $20 a set on high end and $5 on low end. This is based on what I have seen and sold at auction in Northern Illinois area. Another thing that hurts the value a little is these are not sealed factory sets. Those would get you a premium.

Good Luck!
 

sadly most of them are from the "mass" over marketed era ..when the baseball card makers flooded the market with way too many cards ..which kinda ruined things card collecting wise..
 

Search ebay completed listings click on completed listings, look at what sold not just listed. That will give you a good general idea. But I agree with AUCTIONADDICT83 , that sounds like a much better way to get the most money than to sell on ebay.
 

I was at a yard sale recently where the guy had Thousands of baseball cards, and he could not even give them away. Yup flooded market in recent decades. The older ones still have some values but not the newer ones.

I have been a baseball card collector for over 45 years. I have been buying and selling cards for the past 30 years. Unfortunately what you have are cards that are from the over production era. The complete sets you list you would be lucky , very lucky to get $7 to $10 each. With the exception of the 1981 fleet set , that might fetch $10 to $20 on a good day. Unfortunately about 70% of the cards from the past 30 years are worthless with some exceptions . The packs you list are better off being opened and pull out the superstars and inserts and sell them in lots on eBay. There might be some game used inserts or autographed cards in those packs that might bring you a few bucks. There is still a market for the classic pre 1975 cards. The players likeMantle , Clemente , Seaver , Snider , Mays , Ryan , Aaron etc etc will still bring in decent money for a decent card.
 

Since all your cards are 1990's plus about 1 cent a card if you are lucky... Nice gamble but you bet on something you know nothing about and lost....
