I bought a near set of these from Lew Lipset about a year and a half ago. All were ungraded, and yet, seemed rather pricey.
Must have been the competition.

It's all about the images. You can get real live pictures of players and baseball events versus some cards that just have etchings of the players. I've always liked Zeenuts because the images are real versus some cards are cartoons of players.

A relatively inexpensive way to get a Ruth and a Gehrig (among others). I think this was from one of Barry's auctions.

for me...its become an extension of my type card collecting...the exhibits got the ball rolling...the real photos and action shots..all play a part.

You're right Alan, I recognize that one. I think I sold it on ebay.
And I agree that postcards have for a long time been underappreciated. Some of them are gorgeous, and quite rare, and deserve their place alongside more traditional baseball cards. Last edited by barrysloate; 09-21-2010 at 05:53 AM. |

My bidding strategy has always been to make sure my final bid is higher than anyone else's.

Just went on E Bay for a bit over $3000, there were six bidders
at the $1000+ level and three at the $2000+ level Wonder if the buyer (who has 1400+) E Bay purchases is a dealer who will grade and resell- or a major post card/and of Buffalo collector. Some Buffalo items- i.e. Federal League Pennant (last REA auction) exceed every estimate by a factor of 3-5 Bruce Dorskind America's Toughest Want List bdorskind@dorskindgroup.com |

Apparently, Barry, you and I have oversimplified the process.

My bidding strategy is to bid what I think items are worth, plus a level or two to account for auction craziness. As a result, my lifetime winning percentage is probably about .100.
