Default I had to sell my '53 Bowman set; dropping out of Mastro--bright side

Posted By: Julie Vognar

and am finally getting around to replacing my favorites. A Mantle and a Musial so far. The Mantle is GAI 6--Wayne Varner (Shoebox--Pennsylvania) says it's the nicest "6" he's ever seen. Anxious to get it.

Iwas bidding on the mastro Van Oeyen Jackson photo yersterday, but fell by the wayside, and ditto the ten little diecuts today. ONE REASON: You don't have to WIN to keep getting the catelogues, just BID. hey, that's easy, and later I'll have more money so I'm not bidding on something I just sort of want.

but damn, Mastro prices are out of this world tonight. Even low grade vintage cards are bringing record prices. Great for Mastro and the consignees, not so great for the "good old boys."

Seriously, we determined a long time ago that active bidding makes us as much money as winning bids.

I am floored by the results of the auction....look at some of the vintage cards like the Baltimore News of Wagner; SF Hess of Mutrie, etc...

We were talking about it and have come to the conclusion that even when the economy is weak folks like to put their money into something tangible.

even if it is a tiny, sometimes mangled scrap of cardboard with a faded picture of a baseball player on it.

1) When money is soft (is ut?), people buy gold, baseball cards, houses, etc.

2) When people are poor, they don't buy much of anythung.

3) When the baseball card market is soft (but ,look at Mastro!) good cards go into hiding untill the market perks up again.
