Baseball cards!
8 big boxes worth in my mother-inlaws attic. How the hell do I sell these?

1. I hate to tell you that baseball cards are sorta like Beanie Babies
They were hot, now they're not. Except for unusual and rare cards, they have lost value.
I hope someone here can tell you the best way to deal with a large bunch of them, currently.

2. They're a pain in the rear to deal with in large numbers (IMHO).
I would first try to get a sense of their age since older ones are usually worth more than newer ones. Then I'd separate out the rookie cards and the cards of well known players. Then I'd go on ebay with those cards and search completed auctions to get an idea if you have anything of value. After you have an idea of what you've got, I'd haul them to a sports card dealer and see if he wants to make an offer. If you stumble upon anything of value, you might want to send it away to be graded and put it in an auction. Personally, I hate the things but I always buy them when I see a bag or box for sale at a tag sale or thrift shop. Right now I've got a bag I bought for $2.50 that I'm procrastinating about sorting. Good luck. Hope you find a Honus Wagner.
