Post national

So what's the drill after the National wraps up. Are there a ton of new listings on Ebay of unsold cards and flips? Does BST here fill up with new stuff? Or does the relative summer quiet roll on . . . . .

Or not. I have heard from quite a few people that, as usual, prices were insanely high. A number of people have reported that they went ready to buy and came home with nothing or close to it.

which is pretty much the status quo for nationals from my experience the last 5 or so years.

If you bought cards at the national...there's a really high likelihood you overpaid for them!

Well, that depends on what you're interested in. Yes, I saw a lot of overpriced cards, especially high-end slabbed cards, but I was able to get some T cards, raw or low grade, for pretty decent prices. I got a bunch of 1960s and early 70s Topps commons and minor stars for reasonable prices -- more or less book value minus the discount that all the dealers gave when you bought a bunch.

i should have clarified...if you bought any "high end" or "rare" pre-Korean war baseball cards...you likely overpaid!
