Prices coming down...

[Leon]

I think this 2.5 was an outlier because of the creasing in the middle of it. It was a bit of a generous 2.5, imo.,
Mine sold 3-4 weeks ago for almost double that but it was in a PSA holder too. Beckett hasn't done a good job on marketing their vintage grading. It's too bad as they have at least one of the best graders in the hobby.

It's hard to tell, with 100% certainty, due to the many conditions of this card we see, if they are truly coming down, or down much at all, imo. (Of course I am not talking about summer prices)

Look at this sharpe, well-centered beauty. Went for a song on PWCC today. This is an example of a card that was manipulated and has come back down to earth.

Yeah, put that one in the file misnamed "I don't know why anyone would consign with any company other than PWCC . . .they always get the best prices."

I think other sellers do OK as well. While I have used PWCC in the past, they are basically doing the exact same thing that I can do. Scan a card, write a description and throw it up on Ebay. My consignments with them haven't noticed any astronomical pricing jumps that others have experienced. So I'll just keep doing it myself, until there comes a time that I can get charged a lower commission than doing it myself (and the way Ebay is going, that will probably be in the not too distant future).
