Cards are just like any other market; they can go up or down in value. There is no facet of the hobby that is guaranteed to appreciate. In fact, if you sell at auction you are starting with, in many cases, a 20% loss just on buyers commission.

T209-1. If I recall correctly, they were going for about $200 in poor condition last year. It's more like $50-$75 now.

For me it is a 67 Topps Venezuelan Joe DiMaggio card. The exact same card sold for $500 in Oct 2012 through Huggins & Scott auctions and now I can't get a $300 opening bid on it.

Anything I own and want to sell. What's hot? Anything I don't have and want to buy.

I had been working on a 41 playball set and decided to focus elsewhere. I took a hit on a few of the cards I sold, especially mid grade non HOFers. Perhaps I over paid when I acquired them.

Agree with Jay. Cards get hot and cool off. Mid grade caramel and baking cards are a fraction of what they once were, for the most part. It seems T215 Red Cross's are in high demand nowadays. Also, it seems some minor T206 print freaks aren't quite as hot as they once were. I hear 50s stuff is doing well.

I'd stay away from 1975 high grade, mid-grade or any grade for that matter after all those unopened cased sold for a few years ago. Can't ever see them appreciating much, there's only so much demand and willingness to pay top prices.
Buy what people want T206's or 1914 Cracker Jacks. |
