Interesting comment on Net54 types
Runscott and I were at probably the biggest and highest quality antique store in downtown Seattle on Friday. Scott was chatting to the owner about major auctions, and I brought up collectors who worry about placing ceiling bids and such issues at big auction houses. The owner chuckled to himself and said, "Ah, the conspiracy theorists."
Just thought if funny. Though, interestingly, he also said that with live in-person auctions, he usually stays around if he has placed bids to make sure nothing funny happens. Last edited by drc; 12-18-2011 at 12:38 PM. |

This, to me, speaks volumes of how messed up the world is today (as far as the internet and cell phones go). The guy seems fine with trusting a bid made over the internet or by phone yet stays around at local auctions to make sure nothing funny goes on.

I am personally glad that there are people who spend a lot of time keeping the auction houses honest - if it weren't for such people, the fraud would be even more rampant.

Not to derail the thread, but I will be in Seattle shortly. Any card shops or antique markets that are worth hitting?

The antique store I mentioned is about a 5-10 minute walk from the store you mentioned, go towards Puget Sound. It's on the road parallel to the water and under the deafening viaduct. It's worth visiting. Big and lots of stuff. Though not a place for baseball cards. Scott got a quality 1930s football jersey there once.

PM me and I'll give you my phone number so we can get together next time you're in town. Regarding card shops, I haven't been in a single one in almost ten years. At that time, cards were marked up even more than at the card shows.
