Our favorite example of a physics experiment gone wrong is once again
incorrect in stating that we were bragging about paying low ball prices.
We paid market prices (as we always do). We simply observed that the market
has gone south.
Our most recent acquisition was offered to us six months ago after the seller
won it on E Bay. We were the under-bidder. The card sold for $350 and the seller
offered it to us for $750. We went back and forth for months- finally, he put the
card back on E Bay and we were the high bidder at $260.00
The simple fact is, regardless of who wants to acknowledge reality, that the baseball
card market (with a few notable exceptions) has dropped precipitously during the
past six months.
One of kind items such as a Cracker Jack Poster or beautiful rare 19th baseball advertising
piece will continue to attract wealthy collectors...but the market for low grade, mid grade and
most high grade cards is off. End of story.
