Good thread, Ed. I will admit to having thought about this, too. Now that he has mentioned it, I have found what Adam said to be true about buying after Christmas. It has seemed as though at least a few dealers have been a little more ready to push inventory out the door after Christmas and into the New Year. It could also be some collectors have sold some of their cards to pay for the holidays making those cards newly available. That being said, I can blow money on baseball cards anytime of year. Just ask my wife.
