What's Hot and What's Not

[CMIZ5290]

33 goudeys are probably the best buys....1911 sporting life's are a close second.

Postcards, T206's, scarce T207's and any obscure Ruth or Cobb cards seem to be hot. On the cooler side most of the early E cards and at the very bottom might be the baking cards. They used to do well, nowadays if you want to flip them you really better buy them right!!

Glad to hear some t207s and Sporting Lifes doing well. Much-underrated cards for beauty (well, if you cherry pick, but that's true for other series, too). May Fan Craze will go on upswing for same reason...

I think you left out CJ 1914 in the "hot" category.

Signed vintage cards.......people are wisening up to the "cuts" and auto inserts and PSA DNA autogrpahed originals are going through the roof!

Not hot. T205's. Probably only because I am selling right now

T3s are definitely NOT hot. Everyone talks about how beautiful they are, but nobody wants to buy them. Not sure why.

I think it's because they are still expensive. A low to mid grade common will still cost $200-400. Therefore, if you wanted to try to collect the set, you'd need very deep pockets. Collectors find it more worthwhile to try a more popular set like T206 and perhaps just pick up a T3 for their type collection instead.

Ruth & Jackson are always hot. Postcards & Type 1 photos seem to be on the upswing. E & D cards have been soft for awhile. D304 Wagner's are selling currently for a fraction of where they went a few yrs ago.
