My recommendation is to make an offer and if they cannot accept or pass on the spot you keep walking.

Is you may feel as a collector that the dealer will ask different prices depending on whom you are or appear to be.

Pricing your cards gives every collector an fairly equivalent starting point as it comes to a dealer's prices

AND, that makes life easier for all concerned

It has been a great show so far! It was great seeing some Net54 members as usual.

I sold a few items and bought a few things. I am not much of a T206 collector but for 15.00 each, I could not pass up the five hall of famers with amazing color. I actually like the trimming! I also purchased the photo below from the same dealer. I really like look of it and it is interesting that Eddie's eyes are closed.

HOFamers for $15, trimmed or not, very cool and nice buy! Love the photo also, did you get a good deal on that as well?

Thanks Mike! Yes, the photo was relatively cheap (100.00) because the dealer had fixed up the edges and corners of it. He was very forthright about it, and the restoration work does not bother me at all.
