A game of hot potato imo

A few random thoughts regarding modern and ultra-modern ...

Too many cards that aren't worth subbing are getting submitted. Even if the card gets a 10, it won't sell for the fee. Way too much crap out there.

People only want 10s on bigger card, like a Pujols/Ichiro RC ... get a PSA 9 and call it a day. It's the same friggin card and there is only a perceived difference in condition.

I set up on occasion at a small firehouse show. Buyers want to pay 50-80% of comps, but when they want to sell, they want full price.

Stick with vintage and raw modern
