eBay Question

I started tracking T206 prices sometime in March 04. I only record what is listed in the title; and only graded cards. This is my only concession to sanity in this process. It takes hours to keep up. I've hand entered each card into excel so it can be alpabatized for easy reference. I got behind and I'm just now trying to catch up. I let it lapse and lost about a week of data at the end of June. With about the last week still pending, I'm up to about 2500 entries.

To some degree this flys in the face of the advice here, "buy the card, not the slab." My database is a slab list, not a card list. But, I do follow that advice when I buy.

I really like having this data. It's only 4 months old, so I can't see any price trends. I'm really a rookie, and I think this is a reality check. I've started trying to fill in an inherited T206 collection; been buying commons and SL to learn the process.
