Can you do anything less than 50% on the 61s? 50% of BV seems a little high.

All lots listed thus far have been sold. If 50% of BV is too high for NM+ '60s Topps commons, please tell me a source where I can buy them cheaper. I would love to finish my high grade '62 set, but find myself paying usually 70% of BV or more for NM and better cards.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I just know when I am selling at $2 apiece, I can't sell anything from the early 1960s. People always say that is too much. They say they can get them for 25 cents apiece and I tell them I can't go that low.

Like I said, I've had my 57s-64s for $2-$3 and have been stuck with them.

I am starting to believe that people don't like dealing with me. And that it doesn't have anything to do with my prices. Oh well.

Thanks again for your time.

For the record, as a collector i will gladly pay 50%+ on legit NM cards of vintage sets, especially if the seller has them centered like David's. What generally does not sell for that amount is claimed "NM" cards with bad scans, o/c cards, back issues, etc....So yes, while most may not pay half book it's b/c most of those lots on eBay etc are not really NM cards...or there are a bunch of sliders, i.e. lots that have a bunch of cards that are really mid-grade ish

I think this could have been handled better with a PM.
