ty_cobbThis year supply of vintage baseball cards is at
its lowest ebb ever. Book price is meaningless
for E card issues, and the tougher T card issues
like T213 abd T215. I thought the guys who picked
up the T215s for essentially double book value
(I think from TBob) got hosed at the time, but
when you look at availability you've got to say to
yourself 'how many years do I want to spend trying
to find it? Maybe they got a deal.
I'm getting to the point where I think the high prices
are justified. Especially on Ebay, when you bid on a card
someone has 'grubstaked' if you want to snipe it, the
current high bidder will make sure you have to shell out
at least an extra $100 to top him. I don't blame people
for wanting high prices.
If someone wants to cost me an extra $50 to $100
to 'win' an eBay card, thay can be damn sure I'll be tacking on the same amount when I sell it. Why not?
