How vintage? If it is truly older stuff you could call Louisiana's Double Play (225-296-5812). They may be interested or could refer you to someone that might. Ebay is always a good option too.

Selling something that will only increase in value over time for something that is guaranteed to decrease in value over time? Wise choice.

I have as much crack as you want to trade for them. You get the crack, become a crack dealer, and buy your wife a Ford Taurus when it's gone

There is two places on Sherwood that buys baseball cards one by New Orelans daiquiri and the other by the pool hall. Both are going towards Seigen on the right. Wish I knew the name sorry

How can you have such a nice collection and have no sources to deal them to? The OT Lounge isn't exactly the online version of the Antique Road Show.

Do you have any vintage Louisiana issues? I still collect those... Kotton, Coupon, Tango Eggs, Holsum Bread, Mothers Bread, Victory, H. Weil Baking?

Good luck unless you have some actual rare valuable appraised and slabbed cards, you are more or less selling $0.25/lb of cards

From what I have read, unless you have something truly rare then it is likely close to worthless. Wasn't there a bubble that burst on this sort of thing a while back?

Unless you have babe ruth's rookie in mint condition, you might not get very much. Seriously, when you say vintage you are talking about pre 1980s right?
