Yea, but from a seller's point of view, the only .99 cent sellers who are successful are PWCC and Probstein. Whether legit or for nefarious reasons, that is what I have noticed (as a .99 seller NOT named PWCC/Probstein).

Depending on what you term successful, I use .99 starting bid with no BIN and, most of the time, I make money...I trust the market and wait for the feeding frenzy. I have a PSA-8 Mantle out there right now. Oh...and.... probstein is still dead to me.

There are certain cards that are exempt from that. Mantle being one of them. Try it with a high grade Gabby Hartnett and see if you get the same results.

A fair point, Robert, but I never purchase a high-grade unless I'm fairly certain I can resell it for at least what I paid...I've been caught by not sticking to that in the paste, so I usually stick in the EX-5 range for pre-war, 6 or 7 for post-war. IMO - I agree with the prior post in which it was state that you only held the card in question for two weeks and still made a little...that's almost day-trader planning. Again, IMO Baseball cards are like stocks in that you frequently have to hold until the time is just right. My issue is that I frequently buy Baseball cards emotionally, rather than rationally, which is when I get in trouble. All apologizes to Gabby Harnett fans out there. -Raymond

I think it is admirable that despite all these ongoing difficulties he changed his mind and has decided to stick it out in this frustrating hobby
