Questions for dealers

[vintagesportscollector]

Good trade. Seems like a fair trade all around. The Mays sold on ebay for $1,500 last month. With the Home Plate, seems like about $2,000 value in the trade overall. Congrats.

Thanks. I think the home plate is worth a bit more than 500 but I could be wrong. The seller was asking 3250 and dealers at the show said 2k minimum on a sale. But again, it's only worth what someone will pay.

As someone who tries to explain home appraisals to people that often think the personal value is king, that's a refreshing thing to read.

I say congrats after reading this thread and personally I would have been skipping from that show if I only recieved the Mays. No matter what the plate is valued at, I say it is just extra gravy. Well done.

He wasn't a sucker. He had the plate for a long time and it was pure profit to him. That's why I like trading.

That is a different Mays.

Yep, and I'd rather have the one in this thread than the eBay one that has two large creases. I would not expect that card to get the same VG 3 grade if submitted today. Maybe a 2 Good?

Agreed, not an easy sell.

However, if you trade with a field representative for an AH that sells vast quantities of stuff like this every auction cycle, it appears he found the exact right person to trade with.
