Gary B.Pretty much all baseball card shops or online sellers (not auctions) tend to be so highly priced to begin with, but when you take into consideration that if they say excellent you have to assume it's very good, and if they say very good you have to consider it's good, then it just becomes a waste of time for me. At least on ebay you can usually see a scan, and even if there are slight imprefections that the scan doesn't catch and the description doesn't mention, I've rarely been dissapointed, especially considering what I'm paying. Card shows are of course great in that you get to see the card in person, but good deals there can often be hard to come by, but the good news is you can often haggle for a reasonable price. I sure wish I could buy cards at bb card shops or through online vendors, but it's the VERY rare exception that I see a desired item at anything close to what I consider to be a reasonable price - sorry!
