Notes from the National

[Cardboard Junkie]

Can someone explain, Why a dealer wouldn't have prices on his cards? If they were priced with what he wanted. They would just have to say "yes" and take the money or"no". Seems easy as pie. Am I missing something? Dave.

Laziness. It might take a little work on the dealer's part.

Two of the cards I picked up which weren't T210s.

They don't because the prices fluctuate per potential buyer. An uneducated buyer will get a ridiculous markup compared to a more educated one

I really appreciate you guys sharing your experiences. I wanted to make it so bad this year but it just wasn't in the "cards", excuse the pun. Hopefully next year will be the year I get to attend and finally meet some fellow Net54'ers.

Oh, wanted to ask if there many E93's, E101's, E102's and E92's being offered. Thanks again.

Hardly any 101s or 102s. A couple of dealers had 93s, graded and raw. Saw a nice Griffith, Jennings, Tinker, Donovan and a few others. Less E92s than in past years, I thought.

Thanks Bob, I appreciate it. And nice pick ups. That T213-2 Matty looks awesome. T213's do seem to be gaining some steam.

Not excuses....more like potential reasons. Another good reason... If you have the cards for a year do you want to update your price to a higher number In front of the customer if book value goes up as they are holding it?

Now I am aware you absolutely have something to fire back with after that last sentence but I will cut you off by saying...it's a business to some and others not so much. What's wrong with capitalizing on a cards appreciation. You adjust it while in hand you lose a customer on spite alone.

Not everyone has the means to run their life or business to the utmost perfection sometimes. Perhaps they would prefer to take their kids to the park on a Saturday rather than updat their cards prices they take to shows for fun every month.

I'm certain everyone's reAson is different but in all reality one guys rant does not undercut their profits much on what is likely most do for fun and hobby.

That being said. Most of the cards for sale are also online. They have websites phone numbers and email. Just ask from different methods of contact and see if you get a different answer. I do that regularly.

You should always do your homework. Ones that do that make it on your caution list.

My experience is I have not had that happen yet. So I don't mind asking and looking at what I am interested in.
