Share your 2012 National photos!
The National starts today, and I will be attending for the first time tomorrow. There will be many on the board who won't be making it to Charm City, so let's give them the chance to see what this event is all about!

Black Swamp Find
After seeing the stacks and stacks of insanely high grade E98s from the Black Swamp find, I just wonder what is going to happen to the E98 market?? Is there enough demand to absorb all those high-grade cards?? Does the market for lower grade examples collapse? The whole E98 market?

Barry, was there a high grade e98 market before this find? I have seen much beyond EX ( other than that green set)

There really weren't many high grade cards known at all. Maybe a few 7's, but certainly no 9's or 10's. Now they are relatively common. That said, the whole group will still find their way into collections.

The guy gave me no hassle and the choice of partial or total refund on the hidden paper loss. He apologized and said he didn't realize it was under the sticker. Either way I got it at actual value now so I am happy. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1343934361.262755.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1343934384.444213.jpg

Hi Scott- Oops! I forgot about your set. Sorry.
But other than yours, weren't high grade E98's almost nonexistent (pre- Black Swamp, of course). |
#32
|
|||
|
|||
I'd look at the black swamp find as the only high grade e98 market. Before there was a mid grade market.
Lets say last year you could get a cobb in ex for around 6k, after the find, if you have 6k you're probably still going to compete for an ex example. |

Thanks to all who are posting photos from this years National on the thread. It is much appreciated since it looks like I'm not going to be able to make it down there this weekend. |

I enjoyed the video of the 1st day of the National but it looks like attendance is really down I know it is just the first day but it looked kind of sparse.
On the E98s, other than Scott's mind blowing set, I considered my E98 set of 5s a "high grade set." Now that is out the window with the Black Swamp Find. I still think low and mid grade E98s will continue to hold steady, just my 2 cents, regardless of how high or not so high the blazers from the Find go for. I do think the gap between E98s and E94s, however, will continue to escalate. The E94s have become very scarce, especially in nice condition.... |

Bob- E98's in a 5 are now scarcer than those graded 8 or 9. Kind of a bizarro world.

Here's a few I took today. Had a great time even though I only picked up four cards. Walked around with AG and Mike Healer for awhile. Met Chris buckler and pup6913. Also chatted with bowlingshoegiverouterguy and Leon. Looked through some of Dan McKee's cards (thanks Dan)! Spoke to zubes about the blue old mill. Also got to meet Brian Dwyer. Sent about three dozen texts to Chris Browne. Bought a card from Ted Z. Great day except that my Gilbert missing red ink still isn't slabbed
Here's earl writing me up to no avail ImageUploadedByTapatalk1343944924.470425.jpg Ty Cobb back ImageUploadedByTapatalk1343945020.098868.jpg Terrible picture of a t206 set ImageUploadedByTapatalk1343945049.499415.jpg A couple of low dollar cards ImageUploadedByTapatalk1343945097.890694.jpg My purchases (and a S350 Chase Blue) ImageUploadedByTapatalk1343945128.405175.jpg Last edited by t206hound; 08-02-2012 at 04:10 PM. |

State of the hobby could be in trouble with the attendance down year after year..
Seems that way at all card shows. Every year they are getting less traffic and smaller. |

Did he buy it or just get to hold it?

He got to hold it and a $250,000 Babe Ruth bat. Can't afford either, but it's fun to dream.

IMO this is not a good indicator of the state of the hobby. The way people do business has changed - the internet through its auctions and stores are the way now. Declining show attendance is a false indicator. (Similar to saying that the closure of 511 Borders stores shows people don't read anymore...nope...they just get their reading material from more modern sources, including the internet).

Oriole Park at Camden Yards....
Oriole Park at Camden Yards is just a stone's throw from the Convention Center in Baltimore where the National is being held. I walked over to the stadium this morning to look around. The stadium was empty and the sprinklers were going. A rare site indeed, so I snapped a picture. Gotta love it!

I picked up a couple of Hindu Southern Leaguers and passed on a few others. The E98s - Black Swamp Find - are simply gorgeous. Ran into fellow net54 member Larrie Dean and met Leon for the first time (thx for the shirt!). Heading back up tomorrow for the day and sticking around for the Net54 dinner - hope to meet as many of you as possible.
A couple pics from the show:
