Default Have yall seen this listing.

I'm new on here but a long time collector. Has anyone seen this listing on ebay? http://http://www.ebay.com/itm/Breat...item3cbe8505e5. This listing seems legit. I have crunched numbers to around 7500 dollars in stuff all together. What do yall think. There is nothing super big in the set except maybe the 1968 Ryan graded an 8 but it all adds up nicely.

Hal Lewis likes this a lot too and urges everyone to bid strongly on it.

I take it the OP owns this lot and is plugging his own listing. Otherwise, he would have bought this lot himself by now.

Not at all, actually I sold the guy a couple of the cards he has in the lot. I'm just asking if everyone thinks its worth it before I spend that 5000+.

That's a lot of work for someone to tally up all those cards for you. Seems like an odd first post.

Now you have to buy them to prove you have nothing to do with the sale. Then consign them to an auction house whereby you then pump up the auction with posts like "hey, anyone seen that Ryan Rookie in Legendary?"


The reason we all seem so cynical... is because we are. At least I am.

I don't understand why, If I was trying to plug something dont you think it would go in the B/S/T. So much, for trying to find out what people think about an item. Besides people im in Texas and this guy is up north. Sorry for asking, I thought this place was for talking about the things we love, vintage cards.

That was the first thing I noticed too. Just ignore the naysayers. Welcome to the boards. I am very famaliar with El Campo. My fiancee lives in Richmond and we have friends, Chuck and Cathy, that live in El Campo.

As far as the lot goes, I think it would be worth the money if you were purhcasing it for yourself, but not to make money on.

Might sell at 3k but even that could be difficult probably better to start at 99 cents and let it ride.

That's a rather diverse lot of cards. There's absolutely NO break up value in that offering because those cards are fairly common and IF you were lucky enough to break it up and get full book on them you'd still be stuck with the hassle of shipping all of that stuff out.

Seb, if you were wondering if we'd advise buying this lot my guess is that everyone will tell you not to bother. Save your money and buy some cool quality stuff.

I love the following part of the item description: "I need to clear out some space quickly so I have priced this lot to move quickly." I don't think the seller has it priced to "move quickly". If they started the auction at $1K they might get a little action and find out just how much the bidding public really values this lot.

Silverdale, WA. That is my neck of the woods. I wonder if that person and I have crossed paths before at shop or show?

I always wondered about the pile o' cards scans though. Is this supposed to entice me to bid? The same cards scanned at different angles. 61 Topps Mays cards sitting exposed, carelessly spread out on a pile of cards. Why not just line them up and show everything?

I'm thinking lots like that have to be cheap to begin with (opening bid) because how often does the winning bidder want most or all of what is in a lot like that, enough to pay the full lot premium. Besides, everyone wants to think they'll get a steal and starting a lot like that at a buck will generate lots of bids and the end price will probably still be where it should be, given the content of the lot.

Default Welcome to the board

Hi Seb-
Welcome to the board (sorry for all the cynical posts you had to endure earlier, that's an unfortunate part of this forum sometimes).

At a quick glance, this lot doesn't seem to offer a lot of "stuff" for pre-war collectors. Maybe for someone working on sets from the 1960s (?). But, it's still pretty cool and would be great to have just to sort through it and have some fun. That said, the asking price is WAY TOO HIGH, in my opinion.

I've purchased a few similar lots over the year, but never at this price level. Also, I've never done it with the intention of re-selling them. I've always broken them down for sets I'm working or to assist friends with their sets, but I've never gone about it with the idea of turning them around for a profit.

It's interesting that the seller says they don't believe in "book value", but then later they say: "The FAIR MARKET VALUE of this lot is $6350.47." That's a very exact number from someone who says they don't use a book, but whatever.

That's my two cents. Maybe at $2500 or so it'd be worth it, but I'd stay away from it at the price they're asking. Good luck.
