Incredible PWCC prices tonight on t206

[Bobbycee]

It was shocking to see some of the prices common players sold for. Old Mills aside, the Polar Bear prices were unreal. $400+ not including the 20%. I had 23 bids in & won zip. Kind of glad I didn't over pay.

This auction was the last of the T206 off & rare backs though. PWCC probably can't & won't be able to keep up that pace.

yes, my original point was more the super high prices for the OM and PB commons, not HOFers

[Luke]

Yeah the print group 1 "commons" are extremely tough. They sell so rarely there's not usually a thread like this to talk about them, but with this auction, none were going to fall through the cracks.

I’m surprised people still even peruse the PWCC auctions. Maybe it’s just me, but those four letters used together make me vomit a little in my mouth every time.

For a short period of time between them getting kicked off EBay and through their first few auctions was a great time to get some legit deals in an otherwise insanely juiced market.

I picked up some stuff that would be considered good deals even before this recent crazy price spike era.

As a purposeful outsider, I've met some wonderful and absolutely sketchy people in this hobby since the early 1980s. I've been purposely lied to and ripped off as both a kid and adult. I've been gifted cards and knowledge without due cost as a kid and adult.

There's a give and take in this hobby because of the money that flows through it and we all lay our purity tests where we choose.

I still like the hobby and get more good out of it than bad. The bad tends to pop up and surprise rather than run in streaks.

I've made reasonable and safe purchases from "bad guys" in the hobby and sold other "bad guys" my cards.

It's technically not ethical, but I've learned to be very transactional with this hobby.

I try my best to be truthful to people I deal with on my end of any transaction and listen to others who want to tell me things about what I'm holding (everything from I'm pricing it too low to get another opinion on possible alteration).

I'm not.

I have learned over the years even if the devil had a t206 and it was priced fairly, someone would buy it from him.

LOL, not just one but a big line would form. They would also have no problem asking the Devil to cancel the prior sale price/bid and offer a slightly higher price to sell it to them.

Since their change of ownership I am willing to give them a chance, especially with some newer folks on their team. I haven't yet, but most likely will in the future.
The person I know over there isn't going to let fraud go on, knowingly.

As for the T206 prices, they are crazy but, we have seen this happen before. Wait until any of those winners try to sell or trade at those values. I think they might be disappointed.

More likely result would be the devil losing his T206 in a fiddle contest with Johnny.
