Is it time to ask AGAIN if T206 prices are falling?

I agree with Luke. I didn't know about this auction. If so, I would have bid on a lot of these also.

The auction was posted on the front page of this forum the morning of the day it ended and is still the 2nd to last thread on this page. I guess not everyone that posts reads the other threads?

ps....I am going with over saturation of the auction market for depressed prices.

It is also the time of the year. I have noticed that Oct-Dec seems to bring lower auction prices. I have believed it starts with the over saturation of competing fall auctions leading into the holidays where collectors stop spending money on themselves and save for holiday gifts.

A card is worth what someone is willing to pay for it 😎

I would have been bidding but I guess they don't want my business. Tried to register a week or so ago. Never did get a response. Tried to get in contact with them by email, no response. Tried to register again , no response. I did check my junk folder by the way nothing there.

A year or two or three ago I also tried to register and never received a response. One would think that approving registrations would be a priority. They're one of the very few (perhaps the only) auction house that I haven't bid in.

A two minute phone call pushed my registration through about 5 minutes after I entered my info on their website during the auction prior to this one.

And if prices are falling I will take a couple of Cobbs off someone's hands, preferably PSA or SGC 3-4, common backs are fine.

Just look at the 10 year history..some cards go up then come down then up again....I wouldn't worry about now....10 years ago from the non-stud cards...maybe that's when to ask the question..but 1 2 or 3 bad auctions in a row aren't enough of an indicator...the cards will likely have their ups and downs..

Dealers I know don't care about low auction results..they will keep citing a price from 3 years ago as to why their card is priced right...they don't care about any auctions that show a card going for lower..only auctions that enforce what they say even if its only 1 of the past 5 auctions..

Based on the last two auction results, it would appear as though Cobb is immune to this perceived swoon. (Sadly, as I'm also looking to buy some mid-grade Cobbs.)

I had the same issue with them. They e-mailed saying they wanted me to call them. Called repeatedly nobody ever picked up or answered of my messages. Sent multiple e-mails, nothing.

How many times have we had this discussion? At some point in the not too distant future there will be an auction house having an auction where the T206 results will be really high and we'll all look at this thread and be like

I was the happy and surprised winner of the Hart card. Just to underscore your point I figured it had to be at least a $1,000 card plus juice. Might get it switched over to SGC. If T206's are indeed trending lower, it might be a cold winter for a lot of dealers holding large inventories of them as well as the auction houses.

Was your card a PSA 9oc? If so, that's not a fair analysis on T206s. Qualified cards are always suspect to very low prices...
