Also, if you are going to quote prices, quote them for the card's applicable grader. Don't quote PSA prices for SGC cards and vice versa, just to have the pricing edge to your advantage. Like I said earlier, we are all professionals here. We have done this before....rant over.

Well, put. It just happened to me.

USUALLY PSA cards have the higher value...with the EXCEPTION of prewar, I have noticed. I mean COME ON PEOPLE!! If I am selling an SGC card, don't tell me what the PSA examples bring, when you KNOW the SGC examples go for more money!! Some common sense goes along way!

I can't believe there is someone else that does not drink coffee?? Me either! I get hot chocolate at DD and folks at work think its coffee. EVERYONE at my work drinks coffee.

I was just having fun too,

peace, mike

I also think the opposite might be true...don't overprice your cards and bump it seventy times wondering why no one is offering you what you want. Not saying that you do this (I generally think your prices are fine Bobby) but there are others here who do this often.

Not until PSA treats every set fairly and stop only showing love to t206 collectors. It makes no sense that t207 and t205 still only get labeled with "Brown background" and "Gold Border" respectively and no mention of branding is listed. On t206 they even now list the subjects (140,350,460) and factory along with the brand.

I am not particular to one company over the other (I am not brand loyal any where in life) but they have to stop only appeasing one sector of the "collector universe" and make universal changes when applicable.

David Hall, President and Director of Collectors Universe, collects T206. It's not surprising there is an emphasis there. There are valuable cards in T205 and T207 that are much more valuable due to their cigarette brand on back, just like T206. Their back brands should be noted too. This card with a Recruit back, a few hundred to a thousand dollars generally. This card with this back; more than that.
