policy on auctions in progress?

[Archive]

Posted By: Eric Brehm

I would think that the central purpose of this forum is to discuss general questions related to vintage baseball cards, not to fuel the commercial marketplace, so I wouldn't think you would want to bring up the Drum back card in Dave's example just to alert potential buyers that one is for sale, particularly in this case because you know it might be tricky to find. But if you had some question about the card -- say you had never seen that front/back combination before and wondered about the history behind it -- I don't see why you couldn't mention that particular card, even while the auction was live. But then again, if you wanted to win the card, I can see why you would wait until the auction was over to bring it up.
