Default Rare High Grade Type Cards Hold Their Own

Posted By: leon

The D310's weren't leaked one at a time for the same reason (probably) that I put all 5 of my BigEaters in our auction at the same time. I think many of the big hitters will try to acquire groups of cards to get started on a set. I did the same thing on the few sets I am going for. The difference between what I did and what the ebayer did *(who is a board member) was to start them out at prices that, if they sell, won't have a huge downside to them. I have made plenty of errors when buying things so I can't say this seller is the lone ranger in that respect. In the long run flippers/dealers better do more good deals than poor ones or they won't be flipping for long. If you buy and sell a whole lot you will eventually lose a few bucks. Obviously the key is to minimize the losses and mazimize the wins. It's not as easy as many think it is.....

My best "investments" have been with the cards I collect (first) and then sell several years later. regards
