Ever since I tossed the first pack of cards in a box at the bottom of the closet I have heard the term commons and the price of commons tossed around by local collectors. Not knowing exactly what those kids were talking about and being to old to want to reveal the fact that I was not really a knowledgeable collector like they were I never asked. Now my curiosity and age allow me to ask you guys just what is a common and how are they valued?
Is a common in NY also a common in California and is the value of a common in NY the same as a common in California? Is there a sort of standard or is it just what ever someone is willing to pay?
