Auction amounts - how high is high

[volplaya8]

I think what helps the auction houses out a lot when it comes to pricing is the fact they get so many nice cards in one place at one time. When you get most of the collectors and investors eyes on something at the same time, you are probably going to get good results. If ebay gets a nice card or two then it’s auctioned but not as many guys may see that card go off or even wait around to bid on it. With rea and others you get all the eyes on every card and then guys may throw bids on something else since they already are bidding on others. Ebay just will never have the amount of quality cards going off at one same time. Even Lotg last night, you may see those some of those cards on ebay here and there but look at how many tobacco, caramel etc cards they had all guaranteed to be sold at the same time. Also do not discount catalogs and fact guys can prepare accordingly.
