Default The Death of Direct Sales

Posted By: Bruce Dorskind

We never have a problem securing a reservation at any restaurant we want to visit/

As for rare cards- we think all but the most desperate sellers will think
twice before placing any significant piece on the market.

The hobby, particularly at the ultra high end, is addicted to auctions.
If one or two of the four whales pull back (for any reason) the ultra rare
high end card market could fall by 30-50%

Low priced cards (under $100) are not likely to be affected.

Middle priced, middle grade cards have already fallen significantly
and are likely to fall another 30%.

So many Board Members have longed for the day when collecting cards
was a hobby again -like it was in the early 1970's- thanks to a series
of "perfect storms" they are about to have their wish granted.
