marshall barkmanBruce....i am trying to figure out if you are related to Bruce Pardo. All joking aside i recently sent cards to auction and they blew out like a Nolan Ryan fastball. People were able to make alot of money from 2002 -2006 and got spoiled with a very positive and credit-cash flowing economic upswing. I think things are just leveling off and prices of all antiques not just cards are going to go with the flow of the economic wave. I can honestly say the current recession has not affected me at all in a negative fashion, possibly you should do some research into Warren Buffet's thoughts and why he is investing mad cash when everyone else is reaching for the panic button. There is a reason why the rich keep getting richer and it is not luck or good fortune. A friend of mine bought a piece of real estate for 290,000 in 2001 and flipped in 2005 for 540,000 and now the property is on the market for 320,000. Things are never as good as it seems when you are rolling and also never that bad when you are down. I like your posts though because it makes things easier for guys like me to buy espensive cards. I'm quite sure though that anyone wanting to have a auction is not going to like the post. I think you have been hanging out with Randolph Duke to much "Sell Mortimor Sell" MB
