DJI remember 1987. There were many stores full of people. I flipped through a binder and saw a 1934 Goudey Hank Greenberg.
I asked the seller how much. He grabbed the "Beckett" (Number #9) and saw that it booked at $80 in "MINT" (amusing concept) and he looked the card over and then slid down to the VG-EX column which had it at $32. He said "How about $45" (because it was fairly graded at EX with corner wear and an ever so small stain on the back). I countered. "$40". We agreed at $42.
With the way things are (inconsistent pricing and the value of our cards increasing as we sleep), will the future be that dealers go directly to the "Registry" to get what they perceive is a fair price and is the entire concept and idea of the Price Guide dead now?
Just curious on your takes.
