Default Nationals Hot and Cold Cards

Thanks for the great update---Hard to believe that Ramlys and Old Judge cards are cold--I love the Ramlys---I sold a sgc 40 Walter Johnson Ramly for $8200 4 months ago---I hope the Turkey Reds are not cold--Beautiful cards--thanks, Don

What's Hot- HOFers in nice condition (regardless of grade) in certain caramel sets such as E93, E94 (almost non-existent though), E97, E98.
Zeenuts. The 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914 and 1918 cards have really dried up and any available sold in a heartbeat. Not many offered. They have become very popular.
T213-1s and T213-3s are on fire. If you can find any. T207 Cycle backs were also hot, I saw several sell for higher prices than I ever remember.
What's Not- T204 Ramlys. Several board members commented on the falling prices on Ramlys and the prices soft. This was evident at the Show.
D310s and D311s Pacific Coast Biscuits. I hate this because I have a number of D311s but they were not selling at the old prices and some sellers stubbornly were holding on to trying to get near the "old" prices and they were just sitting there, especially the D310s. One seller of D310s commented that they had plunged more than almost any set he had seen.
Old Judges. The tough ones did sell but the majority didn't. A previous thread noted prices on OJs on ebay have really fallen and they are readily available on ebay for much less than dealer prices at the Show and their sitting there in the showcases was evident.
E99s and E100s. Wow, these cards have really turned cold and I didn't see any selling at the Show. At one time these were really hot but not now.

Anyone else want to comment?

When certain sets go "cold" I think it's primarily the commons. I doubt if the WaJos, Mattys, Cobbs, etc. have slacked off.

I overheard a lot of dealers talking possible trades yesterday. It seemed to me that the dealers wanted Ruth's, Cobb's, and Gehrig's. That sounds right, but wonder what the input would be on this board.

Sure wish I could find some of those cheap Detroit Old Judge cards. I don't think so.

Hi Don,

I agree T3s are gorgeous, but I can definitely assure you that in multiple auctions at different houses over the last year the prices realized on T3s in general (and definitely incuding Hall-of-Famers) are way down from prior prices - in some cases thousands on a card. Check out auction results and you'll see. Even at the top grades for those cards (like PSA 5), prices are way down now.

There are multiple references to this in an earlier "not hot" thread from June:

Cheers,

Default Thoughts on the National

sales were solid....sold all my 33 Goudeys (about 8 hofers in grades 5-6.5 range)...I passed on a few I should have bought
...quality 50's hofers, and pre 1920 sold good also, people are looking for 8.5's big time in 50's hofers

I wish the lighting would be better for everyone in the Hall...some booths were very dark if they were unlucky to not be under an overhead light...we had carpet in our booth and it really helps on the feet after 6 days...I wish most if not all whole hall would be carpeted like the 1995 St Louis national...I would pay more for that upgrade

this security issue has to improve...I only saw one security officer with a gun walking around, but this was after all the thefts...Dealers have to be more diligent and careful with their material if not in a locked case..

I would say the crowd was good overall...I hope everyone did well but from the feedback I received, I know that is not the case

Prewar Exhibits were virtually non-existent at the show. I saw only a few dealers with them and only 1 place yielded any significant SPs or other rarities. Though I did knock one off my list for the PC back set and upgraded one other:
