<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 985458, member: 24633"]Unfortunately, most of the medals produced and sold by the Franklin Mint were overpriced at the outset, and you may never recover the full cost that your grandfather invested in this set. Since you plan to sell them, I wouldn't put the time and effort into sorting through all of them to separate each individual medal from the packaging. At the same time, I don't see the point in putting the time and effort into trying to sell them separately on eBay. My suggestion would be to list the entire lot as one item on eBay taking only enough time to check your grandfather's records so you can list what each medal represents. Take a few photos of the entire lot and maybe some close-ups of a couple of the medals. Run the auction on eBay for about a week and let the chips fall where they may. After all, you don't have anything invested in it other than memories of your grandfather.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
