is ebay killing high grade 50's-60's market?
does anyone else feel that ebay is killing the high grade 1950's and 1960's baseball card market. by high grade i mean (psa 8 ,psa 9, sgc 88 and higher). cards consistently sell for 50% of smr or lower. i know that the buyers (myself included) enjoy getting good deals, but it just a matter of time before the price guides start reflecting these prices. as far as trying to sell these cards to dealers, dealers now run to ebay to check prices, they don't care what the smr lists card at, they pay you by what card last sold for on ebay.
here are some examples of cards that i have won on ebay in the last 4 months
1950 bowman bobby layne sgc 88 (my winning bid-102.00) (smr -465)
1957 duke snider sgc 88 170.00 smr -350
1957 don larsen sgc 88 62.00 smr - 120
1964 casey stengel psa 9 73.00 smr -200
even though i enjoy getting deals i don't feel this is good for the future of the hobby
