At this point my appetite for high value cards is at an all time low. I really question whether I can trust anything in this hobby. It's not a new revelation, but such a bummer.

Don't fret, go after the low grade beauties!

I saw them yesterday but just looked again today and they all seem to be gone.

I feel your pain, my friend. I certainly have changed my buying in response to the infested waters.

Bins
I made an offer on one of his BINS and promptly received a very good counter offer, which I accepted.
I have some of his BIN's saved in my watch list, but they are not showing up in his store because he is gone through the 18th. The auctions are still running, and I'm guessing that his BIN's will be back up tomorrow. Rick

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)

Somehow a guy who is perceived to ask high prices and often won't come down much on his BINs has come to symbolize to many here everything that is wretched and horrible about the hobby. Maybe there is more history here that I'm missing.
I think Shake Shack sells overpriced burgers and I don't care to go there but they don't personify everything bad in the world. |

For those of us concerned and interested but not able to read through 40+ pages can someone summarize? Thank you
