The true indicator will be REA which opens tomorrow. My guess is that prices on better baseball material will do just fine. But, like they say, time will tell.

There is one constant about the National, outside of an arrest or two. Prices are overrrrpriced. That, however, is down from overrrrrrrrrrpriced. The word "bargain" is rarer than any rarity.

If you are going to the National looking for deals, you will be sorely disappointed. Prices have soften, but you never know that from dealers.

My prices at national.
Honestly my stuff is priced between don’t care if it doesn’t sell and should sell because it’s less than ebay or vcp and I’ll discount off that. The stuff that’s high I Ike so I don’t mind keeping. The other stuff I might still like but not as much and have to sell Some things to pay bills.

If we're talking about rare cards, say less than 10 examples, the "good deal" is access to that card. The network is what's valuable, "I know a guy who knows a guy" etc. Price at that point is secondary depending on how bad you want that card. Are there good financial deals at that point, I believe there are, I had a friend find me two cards at the National that are pretty rare for what they were at a negotiated price I was happy with, but he knew the dealers and they knew him.

For me the problem in recent years wasn’t the prices; I expected them to be high. The problem was that there was virtually no scarce 19th century baseball material except on the auction house tables. Hopefully, that will not be the case for those attending this year, but that would surprise me.

while I agree that many segments of the hobby are down from their pandemic highs...while the cream of the crop still sets records when they transact. The national is ALWAYS full of mostly overpriced cards...especially the good stuff! Why should this year be any different?
Same as it ever was!

I just want to say, unless you are looking for something specific, saying you can't find items at good prices seems insane. I got to walk around for about an hour after I set up yesterday and I could've spent my budget 5 times over just on things I could flip immediately.

I had the pleasure of meeting SB1 at his table and it had a wonderful group of cards. A diverse group of 19th century cards that was easily the best table of items for sale at the show. I had my grandson who had me hunting down pokemon cards for his collection so I did not have much time to say hello to many old friends but we had a great time.
I got to show 1230 on Friday and was nervous about parking but got a great spot. Got 1 autograph that took up alot of our time. But I was very happy to find a ton of fun card products and activities for my grandson. Panini kid case lots of promos and swag to break up the time. I was happily surprised by how many more young folks (with cash to spend) were at this national vs 2016 last time national was here in AC. A large number of corporate booths pushing Card pricing data packages. I am 100% that that will thin out quite a bit by the next time national is back here in NJ..
