Couple of things
1) I wrote in one of my Rich's Ramblings columns about what I perceive are some of the similarilaties (sic) between Beckett Publications circa 1990 and COMC today
2) In terms of pricing cards on COMC -- remember that is the seller's choice, and if the seller wants to "retail" his/her cards that is certainly their option. In addition, there is also a feature which enables the seller to sell their cards on Amazon.Com although an automatic discount is used. 3) Also, if your price is too low, instead of clients just buying the card, they will, in many cases, ask for a discount. I had a very fairly priced 1961 Topps Bill SKowron (tough SP) posted on their site and the minute I posed the card at the fair price for the condition of 25 percent of book I was offered half of that. Well, instead of the client being happy with the fair price I then raised my price so the next offer I would get would be closer to what I really wanted for that card. You can not price a card at a low price without getting a counter offer to be lower. Thus you have to start higher. Consider that the equivalent of an EBay BIN and that is why sometimes vintage and new card prices are higher then they should be. Regards Rich

And for David P
David:
Mark "IS" a friend of mine, I helped train him as an analyst when he first came to Beckett way back in the day. If you have a problem with Mark, COMC or Beckett Grading, please state those clearly, We had a statement at Beckett back in the day that if you said "Beckett sucks and is killling the hobby" we really did not pay attention to you. BUT, if you said Beckett missed the pricing on 1933 Goudeys as per these recent auctions, and needs to change we would certainly listen to specific questions. Thus, David please state what your specific objection to any of the above are. Otherwise, no need for further posts in this thread. Rich

I've used COMC a good bit for modern cards and even bought a handful of 60's and 70's.
Like many others, love the format. Very very easy to use and everything is well documented. Good Luck Mark, hopefully you can grow the vintage side!

All right then, maybe the thread doesn't suck! I knew I would be wrong about something eventually. My apologies, Dave
