I think we all at times overestimate the demand for certain cards. Yes, there are always people looking at Goudey Ruth, Jackie rookies, Paige Leaf, etc…. But for some scarcer, more obscure issues, a card may be “worth” 25,000, but there may be a total of 5 people who are potentially willing to pony up that kind of money for it. And if one of those guys just got one, and another is not buying right now, or a slightly nicer once is coming to Heritage next month ….. well that’s exactly how your auction underperforms.
