Russ BrightThere are always instances of buying something and losing money on it - there have been TONS of times i went to a store and found a great record/comic/card/game/whatever that i KNOW the book value is over 100 dollars and i only pay 10 for it -
then i turn around to sell it and find I can only get what i paid for it or less - I have hundreds of thousands of cards at home that i have been holding onto for years when they "go up" - Someday I'll just have to realize that my 250 1988 donruss Mark Grace rookies won't put my son through college -
buy a price guide - buy the BIG ONE (the SCD thing) and read as much as you can - over and over eventually the history will help sink in and hopefully it becomes second nature -
if nothing else you will know the differences between deals and ripoffs, and hopefully pick up some fair deals -
again, good luck!
