The National - Star Card Prices

[Johnny630]

Good Mid to High End Slabbed Cards Will Not Be Discounted. Over the past 4 months I’ve reached out to sellers on eBay and or Facebook that I have bought from before offering 20% off their asking price offering Cash In Person and here is what I get...a couple responses well one sold for *price...well that was One Sale In March with PWCC all the other sales are 30% less.... their response if it doesn’t sell for my price around that number I’ll send to Pwcc or Goldin.

So this is where I’m at, going to the National No Longer Serves a Purpose for me, I can’t buy. The AH’s specifically these two have the market cornered on every facet. Look On EBay and search vintage cards at auction 85% of those up for auction are on PWCC...this is factual. In Goldin PSA Now Wants a Bite Of the Apple reaping rewards from their point of sale through ownership.

If your goal is off grade beat up cards 50’s-60’s to build your set you will love this show plenty of those, dumpers divers delights. Meaning 3 cards for $3 bucks or 2 for a $1 if that’s your thing you will have a great time. It’s Just not my thing.

Greed Has Killed It for Me at this Particular Time.

Well I set up at Philly with two other Net54 Members who have incredible stuff, slabbed, Tobacco through today, and I can guarantee you they negotiated all weekend. I didn't bring a ton for sale as I am more there to promote the auction, but negotiated on and sold slabbed 1915 Cracker Jacks.

I watched the video and saw Howard and Scott in it.

Hard to believe someone would have turned down $2 million for the Tatis card shown in the video, but I guess they're hoping that it will eventually be worth what one of Trout's cards sold for. Seems like a bit of a risk to me, but to each their own.

Being filmed, I doubt anyone would make a concrete statement that they would sell at a certain price. These prices are nuts though-yikes!

I often wonder what the ratio is of people who show up at the National to sell their cards...selling them to dealers vs consigners?

I feel the auction houses get pretty much 90% of all the good raw virgin vintage collections these days, it’s been this way for years now.

One thing to remember about the NSCC is for many dealers the cost can be $5-6K for everything from table booth fees to hotel room to food and then to travel.

That's a huge outlay before you take in a penny. I know customers don't think of those factors but I can assure you the more it costs to set up, the harder it is to give anything but dealer to dealer hi level discounts but retail may be, well retail.

REA has all the great cards too and they run a fair and honorable auction. No need to haggle, just put in the bids.
