What makes consigning tough these days is soaring card prices, including pre-War top shelf HOF'ers, so timing for consignment delivery becomes a factor. What I think I have learned is that when you decide to consign your precious cards, even those that sleep with under the pillow at night, just do it and the market be damned.

I have found from this time of year till spring training is slower for selling than the rest of the year.
If you see me selling it is to fund a new purchase. I can't remember the last time I paid out of pocket for cards/memorabilia and the reason my wife never says anything about my collecting.
