UGGGGG - - no wonder sellers don't run auctions anymore, and BIN's outnumber them 10-1....I am SOOOO sick of giving stuff away!! I do hope ya'll were able to steal something from me....at least I will feel better if someone from the boards won something and not a reseller.....

...for $15 worth of cards based their plastic casing, I'm not really sure what you are complaining about.

sounds like you did pretty well for commons.... if you don't like sell prices, you have three options, put a reserve on them, have your starting price as your reserve or don't sell them!

while there is a demand for higher graded cards, in turn, they were commons.... and if you got 275$ for 15$ in cards, that is 18X guide, you did well.( i didnt look up the numbers, im going by Doug's post.) i'd be happy with 2X guide.

well put Fubar......I guess I was basing my expectations on past sales and VCP averages...when you see one card sell for $60 and the other one sell for $30 within a month of each other, and they are exactly the same, it makes me wonder "what is wrong with mine"......

Doug's post is incorrect.....it makes me think he is just flying off at the mouth and is really unsure of the value of high grade cards in the 1959 set.

Excuse me? Giving stuff away?? Hello! You just bagged $100 over SMR for a '56 Braves team in PSA 6. If I could turn profits like that, I'd quit working and run like hell, laughing my ass off!

[bobbyw8469]

I totally didn't expect that!! I honestly thought it would sell for $30......the only thing I could think of, was that TWO people both sniped that high of an amount!! Bear in mind, that card wasn't bid up, it was SNIPED by, not one, but TWO people!! Maybe there is a rarity to that particular variation that I am unaware of?? I am not that familiar with the 1956 variations, so maybe someone smarter than me can help out with that one. I also know that it appeared to be undergraded.....It looked like a 7 or 7.5 to me. Maybe that had something to do with it??

[bobbyw8469]

will admit that my post was a bit snotty, but my records show me that I paid a total of $15 for the same four cards in decently centered, nice corners, nice colors condition when I was putting my 1959 set together within the last few years.

I have to ask though...did your cards get a '9' grade? are you aware that the difference between an '8' and a '9' is HUGE!?!?! Same way a '9' versus a '10' is huge?? We are talking about a $5 card versus a $100+ card going from 8-9 range, and $100+ card to $1,000+ going from 9-10!!!!
