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

[tab]

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.)

REA results for t206 brown Hindus were very high, right?

I'm specifically referring to t206's, relative to t207's you are probably right I don't follow them. I guess some REA lots did go relatively high but there were exceptions and it didn't seem like there were any lots going cheaply in REA in recent memory.

What some have said appears to be accurate, pricing for many of the truly rare cards are strong, but for many of the others prices have slipped.

All the BL 350's went for very low prices. Bescher was a steal at 1200.00 fell asleep and missed it oh well

I don't have much experience dealing with AHs, but in general I notice that prices always dip in the Fall as most fans get baseball fatigue and move into football season. While many collectors don't follow the modern game, I think it still holds subconscious influence. My personal interest, and aggressiveness in buying, always surges in the spring as baseball season kicks off.

How about a Cobb for us poor people ??

Currently on the hunt for a 2-4 Cobb myself.

Always plenty of competition for those. Those will slow down the day Goudey Ruths do.

right we are mentioning two of the most iconic cards...even when the housing bubble crashed..the waterfront properties on the ocean didn't get hit as hard......when the card market crashes and it will..the collectors will be throwing their money into those types of iconic cards....

I've had to pay about 20% more for the last couple of red Cobbs than I did for the first few. This is only in a 9 month span.

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.
