Curious
Yesterday, between checking updates on the National I was perusing vintage cards on ebay. I noticed that the majority of cards had an asking price well north of the price listed in the SMR. I was not that surprised that prices were higher than book value (even commons). What did surprise me were that some cards (usually commons) were half of SMR. I almost pulled the trigger on a bunch of half price graded (PSA 5) cards! Have you saw a card and thought "this is a deal" and purchased a card even though you don't collect that particular set? It made me wonder if the seller was discounting the commons to get me on the hook, and once hooked I would have to come back and buy the boat (stars)!
