Collecting quarantine

[Tyruscobb]

I hope everyone is safe and doing well. I’ve stayed and worked from home this past week. Although my social and work habits have changed, my baseball card thirst has not (probably should in this uncertainty environment). As usual, I’ve periodically checked my want list with eBay auction listings.

I was optimistic that I would find a few deals. Although the BIN listings are still plentiful, especially ones with absurd prices, has anyone else noticed that quality auction listings are essentially bare? It appears that individual sellers have stopped listing quality cards in fear that they will not reach the desired price.

The auction listings that do exist have absurd minimum bid requirements. I guess I can’t blame the sellers. With quality card listings down, Beckett and PSA closed, and the National up in the air, looks like collecting is being shutdown as well.

Godspeed.
