At auction, big headline stuff sells but lots underperform. A few recent auction I was counting all the lots they didn’t meet reserve. I’ve seen it both as a seller (even here) and a buyer. Hope there is some healthy adjustment or readjustment coming.

Reminds me of that old song, “there ain’t no good guy …. There ain’t no bad guy …. There’s just you and me and we just disagree ….”
I bet if Dave Mason was a card collector, he'd have said something different:
“there ain’t no good schmucks …. there ain't no bad schmucks …. There’s only you and me and we just disagree ….”

Yup, hoping for a healthy readjustment and hope it's coming soon.

Lousy time to be a flipper, eh...
