Good to see nobody will be bidding in the upcoming major auctions. Should be interesting to see all the no bid lots. Should be pretty remarkable.
Next week we may even see another 3 or 4 board members throw in the towel and get out of collecting all together ( . . . but not really go anywhere). Last edited by Snapolit1; 02-18-2017 at 06:45 AM. |

I agree with your thoughts but imagine many of those being hyper critical will still be bidding as per usual.

Yes, the 4 guys on this board not bidding on high end cards are going to change the waters. I predict record prices going forward, damn the torpedos.... (I am talking auctions, not BINs)

I sadly agree because most sellers are dishonest in some way and most buyers are sheeple that only care about getting the card. This get proven on a daily basis. Still honestly can't figure out why so few people care.

Unfortunate but true. Will be interesting to stay tuned. I don't think there is a better barometer of the hobby (pre-war that is) than this board. And the barometer has turned very cynical very fast. Battlefield, PWCC, Probstein, etc etc. lots of cynicism. Will wait and see I guess. I still absolutely love collecting. I think I still will for a long time. And I truly enjoy this board. Many many many great people. Thankful for the relationships I have developed. Thanks Leon for your tireless efforts to make this place what it is.

I spent a good part of the day reading that PWCC thread and felt like I needed a shower afterward. I have a few expensive cards but those are mostly low grade examples of iconic cards, so I am not really in the big leagues (call me a $50 collector) but that conversation was like a glass of cold water in the face. I love my collection and have invested quite a bit of money in it, and if nothing else that thread showed me that I should just spend more time enjoying what I have and spend a little less time on the hunt for bigger and better.

I'm confused, can someone feel me in on the lack of optimism? What PWCC thread?

I think at least at the high end the future will continue to be a happy alliance of card doctors, TPGs, high rolling flip buyers, and sellers with soft ethics.
