With all of the money, and people, coming into our vintage arena it has really driven up the prices of a lot of pre '33 cards. The supply just isn't there and the demand is high. Folks like myself just hang onto the really tough cards when we get them. Even though I am a type collector, and am going to be selling many items on ebay very soon, I still squirrel away the tough ones. I picked up a D303 Mothers Bread card (common) at the National and took it out last night to sit in my "sell" pile. After thinking about it a few minutes I put it back into my "squirrel away" pile. I now have 3 of them. I did the same thing with my Uncle Jack cards too (sorry about that Dan). The one really tough card I sold about 8 months ago was a Derby Cigar card. I still regret it...I feel the prices are still on the rise for the rare stuff....regards all
