only 1 Steve Trout card? tough sell

I'm not sure if you are looking for any particular input but my first impression is that your asking prices seem pretty high. I might be missing something because I'm not a collector of those teams but it seems like I have seen team lots on ebay that sounded similar for way cheaper prices. I just throw that out there and maybe others can offer some guidance on whether your prices seem good or not? Maybe I'm off base on the sale price of these lots?

I think it depends on how you try and shop. $26.99 for 550 cards, and $24.99 for 500 cards works out to roughly $0.05 a card, so not a totally unreasonable cost (in my opinion) for what's being offered if you're a collector of the team. 

But then, if you have a massive Red Sox collection and you only end up needing, say, six cards total, your price point jumps to almost $5 a card, not counting shipping.

I think it's all a matter of perspective - when a Reds lot appears, I may have to buy myself a Christmas present if it's something that appears to fit my collection. 

Maybe my questioning is because I'm not familiar enough with those teams to see if there are a number of decently valued cards included in the lot? Maybe a better suggestion would be to highlight more the best cards in the lot and instead of listing names included list player card year brand etc. to morre highlight the better cards? I'm not trying to pick on the seller but offer some suggestions on helping to highlight the lot better to increase interest. 

Maybe try the Sox lot at $20 and naturally buyer would have to pay S&H, might be a bit  more attractive but I see there's some what is known as "junk wax" in the mix. I find the BV is much better for Red Sox cards from this century so 2000 onwards, then 90 or 80's, vintage stuff probably has a better BV depending on condition. Chrome cards are also valuled a bit higher too.
