Consigned some cards to an auction ending mid week. Wondering now if this isn't lousy timing due to the election Tuesday. Lots of people on edge obviously and distracted. Even the NFL blaming the election distraction for slumping ratings. Who knows.

I'm trying to leave partisan politics aside, but this election could depress anyone. As for myself, I still hope to pick up a couple cards soon.

I have see some recent sales slip the last few weeks online - shows are still strong if you find the right buyer

I wouldn't use the NFL as a measuring stick, they are just grasping for excuses other than the obvious. I know a lot of people who quit watching this year and it had zero to do with the election. On the other hand, the World Series had their highest ratings in 25 years, so the election didn't hurt them one bit. If multiple people are looking for what you are selling, then there is never a bad time.

Part of the problem with the NFL is that yes, you have Green Bay and so forth, but it just doesn't have the "flavor" that college football does, and college football has lost a lot of that. In college, you have different offenses, Michigan has the big house, Florida has the swamp, Clemson has death valley, etc... The NFL is a faceless league and after a while it all looks the same. Granted if you are playing it is intense as all can be, but for a fan it can be boring. The key to the NFL's popularity is twofold. 1) Tremendous betting / fantasy 2) it is once a week, so somewhat of an event.

Well, as expected I was absolutely killed last night on my auctions. Who could have guessed that there would be little attention paid to Internet baseball card auctions ending at 11pm last night?
