To steal a line from the Sy Syms
"An uneducated seller is our best customer."
We have made countless purchases from our advertising and aggressive networking.
We have found the best way to obtain the ultra high grade rare cards that we are looking
for is to educate the seller (if he/she needs it) about the items he has.
We have obtained 6 Boston Garters and a complete E 125 American Caramel set from
people living in the sticks. In each case, we paid above market at the time.
Those same people referred us to others.
Truly rare cards are extremely difficult to acquire cheaply. Sometimes the effort associated
with attempting to steal a card will cost one the opportunity.
In any case we are not investors. We only sold when a personal situation arose and/or when we trade
up, obtain duplicates or switch areas of focus. As a collector our focus is obtaining the best
card we can afford.....we are not investors.
