One factor that I knew would hurt the hobby enormously was the proliferation of monthly and weekly and flash auctions. When I joined the board there was wild anticipation of upcoming auctions. Yes, people waxing poetic about the smell of the catalog and the poor postman who had to carry it up the stairs. Auctions were special. Now amazing auctions come and go without barely a comment. Sure, there are board members who comment on their lots, their wins, etc. But the buzz is totally gone. Things like green and red Cobbs used to be special to see. Now we are inundated with them.
If you are buying into this market it’s for love of the cardboard. And that’s great. I think most of the current sale prices will look lousy in a year. Last edited by Snapolit1; 11-02-2023 at 04:57 AM.
