Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>that you can now buy singles for less than lots on a per card basis when it comes to low grade cards? I used to buy small groups of cards because you could always get a price break per card. Lately though, small groups of cards (20-50 or so) are commanding higher per card prices than if you bought the cards one at a time. T206s are a perfect example. You can pick a single F-G t206 for $5-10, but put them in a small group and they will get a minimum of $10 per card. Same for Goudeys. I just watched a group of 50 1933 Goudeys close at $11 per card and you would be hard pressed to $6 or $7 out of most of them if you sold them individually. <br /><br />The only thing I can hope to do now is find sellers that are listing a lot of low grade singles and get a break on shipping.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>I've just reached Upper Lower Class.

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>It's been back and forth for me. I've been selling some pretty beat up T206 cards on ebay lately as singles and I'm getting some pretty unbelievable numbers. <br /><br />To get over $20 each for these cards....<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5182443791&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESO%3AIT&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5182443791&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESO%3AIT&rd=1</a><br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5182442991&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESO%3AIT&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5182442991&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESO%3AIT&rd=1</a><br /><br />...struck me as a bit odd, given they both have back damage (either paper loss or writing). Don't get me wrong, I was happy to get the money. But I'm certain I got these cards as part of large lots over the past year or so, where the going rate was somewhere in the $5-$7.50/card range.<br /><br />I will concede that it's been much harder to get G-VG condition T206 cards in a lot for under $10/card lately. But I don't see that translating into singles for under $10/card. Given the nice prices of the raw cards I've been selling, I have been turning to SGC 40's and 50's for value.<br />
