That challenge is not limited to jaysace as I see it all the time, especially on the Mantles I'm looking for. 60/40 one way and 80/20 the other is not centered. Some have some nasty tilt too.

To the OPS question I have picked up a couple of cards recently on ebay BINs or best offers that I felt were fair. I did have to search through quite a few listings to find them though. I also bid in many auctions and have bought and sold a few privately. I'm open to all options if I like the card and the price.

I gotta say as a seller I was stunned when I switched from 100% auctions to some BIN's (the vast majority of which I take offers on) I couldn't believe how many people were willing to pay more on a BIN than they would for the same card at auction. My business is now probably 95% BIN and it's the market that drove me in that direction. That being said I think my BIN's are fair and most offers I accept are bargains.

John, I receive frequent (weekly?) emails from Kevin Savage which contain the link to his web site, where his next few upcoming auctions are readily available for viewing and bidding. I don't recall how I got on Kevin's email list, but I would think he would be glad to add you to his distribution list if you contact him.

Thanks Val - I'll reach out and try to get on the Kevin Savage email list. A few auctions back he auctioned off a complete mid-grade 35 National Chicle football set - some of them went low too so I was kicking myself, but then I figured it would never happen again so I didn't do anything about it.

I've had one decent BIN in 6 months. Worth it.

Look, I will pay more on a BIN for certainty, if the card is a toughie. The item I scored last week is one of the rarest regionals ever made but is also obscure:



1968 Atlantic Oil Davis. This card was the winning SP for the 2nd prize of $100 in the sweepstakes. I cannot believe there were more than a handful made and I have to believe that all that surfaced in 1968 would have been redeemed for the prize. I'd never seen one offered before. If this card had been offered as an auction at the price I paid but with a BIN substantially higher I'd have BINed it anyway.

Besides obvious rarities like the Davis card, I also check VCP to see how many have transacted. I BINed a card recently at substantially higher than VCP because there were only a handful of sales in any condition in the last five years and it had been on my want list for a while.
