Well, it's been nearly seven years since I shared my thoughts on what was going on with the Negro League Baseball collectibles market back in 2011.
Fast forwarding to today, would anyone on the board like to share their thoughts on the current state of key Negro League material?

First I cannot believe that this conversation was seven years ago. Second I feel like the market is a bit stagnant. The really great stuff never comes on the market (look how little is in REA for example ) and the second tier stuff is listed forever at ridiculous levels on eBay. I bet there are a number of items that have been listed since this conversation. It's terrible when 150 items never move because against all evidence someone thinks it worth 750

Soft
I think that the market is a bit soft right now, and frankly I believe that it is a good time to buy. The scarcity continues in good material. The HOF will look at players again soon which should drudge up some interest and there has not been appreciation in the market similar to many other cards in the hobby. Unfortunately, I am a bit tapped out in funds or would be going in super deep.... plus, I have most of the cards that I want...

ok... fair enough
but what about the TERRIBLE Torriente Billiken that went for $4k at HA over the weekend? That may be one of the worst Billikens that I have ever seen. Does that mean that there is some interest in the space?

 Seriously though, as a HOF collector, you gotta buy them when you see them -- which is not too often for Torriente. It might be a few years until I get a shot at another card that I need. Scott Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
