The economy has turned Ebay into a less enjoyable outlet for cards. A few years ago, there were tons of stuff to bid on. Now, the stuff I collect simply has inflated BIN prices with very few auctions. I don't blame sellers. I don't throw as much stuff on Ebay anymore either after getting burned on a few cards.

Vintage cards that are fantastic buys right now for me have been t202 triple folders. In auction settings, they can usually be bought for prices substantially lower than smr prices. I still don't understand why the smr prices on these cards have pretty much remained the same, and not gone down.

Another vintage set way off are 33 goudeys. I have never seen them so cheap as they are right now on ebay. There are some dealers selling psa 6's and 7's for really low prices. Sgc comparable grades are even less.

I think the vg-ex stuff is a harder "value" sell the the p-f-g stuff. I think it always has been. There are a lot of things out there with price tags on them that will never sell.

Great info folks - thanks. I never really explored the T202s. I love them, so thanks for pushing me towards them. I'll mess around on ebay to see what turns up.

Thanks!

Eric

From my perspective "they" is gone for good from this board. Don't need them, don't care for them and wish them all the best.

You're saying "they" are no longer able to communicate directly with the Board's posting mechanism? An era ends. There will never be another "them".

Prices seem to be down on less popular cards or cards that are out in large quantities(i.e. E90-1). However, some of the T206 prices seem to be about the same. HOF prices seem to be higher or even in most circumstances.

Some prices are diff to figure. The recent ebay E107 went for over $700 but a similar card went for under $500 in a recent auction.

Overall, agree with those who feel this is like the HOME market, for the buyer and not the seller.

I agree with vintagecpa a quick e-bay search for T206 produces:

5,816 items found for t206 in Baseball Cards: Pre-WWII (Pre-1942)- Buy It Now and Auctions
Only 637 items found for t206 in Baseball Cards: Pre-WWII (Pre-1942) Auctions Only - Which about 15% or 20% have unrealistic start bids anyway. Which I can't totally blame the sellers for by the time you add in e-bay and paypal fees...
