Fred- as a consignor in the upcoming REA auction I am going to be watching very carefully to see whether the economy has an effect on the selling prices for items. I have believed all along that the last year and a half has been the time to be buying, not selling, but I think the REA prices might give a clue as to how soft or how resilient the card market is. I do know that I took Rob's advice and all my cards in the auction are graded (SGC). I think buyers now more than ever feel more comfortable buying graded cards, even if those graded cards are graded lower (so what else is new) than the consignor anticipated.
