But I keep thinking is the 1200 dollars really going to help that much? I guess it will but that isn't a ton of money in today's economy.

To most people on this board that spend hundreds and thousands on individual cards it isn't much. To those that are working multiple part time jobs or making minimum wage it will make a huge difference for them.

I live in a small town out in the middle of nowhere that has been hit hard by the virus. There are a ton of people out of work that can really use that cash. I am far from rich but have everything I need. The wife and I are trying to figure out the best way to use our check when we get it to help those in town that need it.

Stay safe everyone.

I have gotten some really good deals (as buyer) lately. I like 'best offer' lately. BIN is almost a waste of time to look at cause prices are so high. I do feel people are holding back selling and buying right now.

I have friends and family in industries shut down right now. The extra 600 per week from federal unemployment will help a lot more.

As for how this affects the hobby remains to be seen. I doubt it has much of an impact on big name prewar cards.

I think the lack of auctions may have to do with the 100,000 free fixed priced listings being given by eBay though March/April. I normally run auctions (modern though) but rather save $0.25/card!

Make sure you cancel them all before they automatically renew...
