It's officially time to start buying pre-war cards again
Ramly 40s for $135, nice D311s for $200, it looks like it is definitely time to start buying pre-war cards. I don't know if collectors are having fire sales or if the economy is to blame, but prices on a lot of really nice cards are almost half what they were selling (and being purchased) for about a year, year and a half ago. If you can sort through the reprints and junk on ebay there are a lot of great deals out there.
Just my 2 cents. |

Bob, I was the underbidder on the Ramly last night with a $133 bid, and when I saw it only went for $135, I was kicking myself for my low bid. Who knows how much higher the winner was ready to go, but I was mad for not trying harder!

Bad economy, plus ebay is also to blame, their format makes browsing for cards a true beating.

scott...i feel your pain as I was the underbidder on the d311...by 2.50 as well...definitely deals to be had...I picked up a tango eggs common for a little over $100 recently and as was said...lots of tougher issues are selling for 1/2 what they were a few years ago...it IS a good time to buy!

I've noticed hockey cards are going for good $ lately. I would regularly pick up 1963 Parkhurst commons in PSA 8 last year for $25-$35. Recently I've lost out on commons bid up to the $50-$75 range. I used to pick up the stars for that price!

This may even have a snowball effect, as sellers that want to list items at auction are now forced to do BIN listings. |
