If I can still see my cards 10 years from now I will be happy whatever the market may look like

I'm currently in the middle of watching the actual television broadcast of the 7th game of the 1952 World Series, with Mel Allen and Red Barber at the mic. Truly, that series was one of the greatest of all-time. I don't know why I waited so long to treat myself to this. By the way, the game is available anytime anyone wishes to see it on YOUTUBE. ---Brian Powell Last edited by brian1961; 03-07-2017 at 12:19 PM. |

As for cards, who knows what the market will be in 10 years. Hopefully good if I am selling and bad if I am buying.

Let me clarify slightly for the common man.
I had been buying lots of mid grade and up of commons and semi-stars (with an occasional star thrown in for the last few years. Two years or so ago I could buy a lot of cards from the early to mid 60s pretty commonly for about 40-50 cents or less per card. These are consistently going for 70 cents and up now. I have seen some 300 card lots go for $400. Essentially, I believe the market for vintage cards is more competitive than it was 3 or 4 years ago. I can't give a fair reason why, but it's becoming obvious that some of the common prices are rising. As well, cards in the mid 70s all the way up to the mid 80s are going for more as people are seeking cards in high grade to slab.

However, like many trends, the pendulum will likely swing back in the other direction and lot prices per card will no longer exceed pricing on singles. |

Recent sales with Greg Morris were quite surprising, and they were raw, too.

I used to win a high percent of GM's lots. That seemed to stop at about the same time he started sending out his daily 4 PM (est) emails to promote his offerings....and/or the same time the market for raw lots skyrocketed. |
