+1. The capital markets have taught us this over and over without fail. If the market is open to all and individuals sense there is the possibility of turning a profit these cycles will occur. As soon as the last fool steps in the downward swing begins. Hope I am not that last fool. PS anyone have any T206 Magee portraits for sale?

Prewar, postwar, modern; all just parts of the same spectrum and every year they make more old-school modern cards.




Kershaw is awesome.

No doubt what is old is new. Last year my then 19 yr old daughter wanted a vinyl record player for Christmas.

Back to the other subject, I just wish PWCC would escalate their bid retraction number to get to 2, or less, asap.....

Throw in the $60,000 the excused bid retractor has already paid in PWCC Auctions, and assume that the same bidder will prevail in the current Robinson auction which is currently sitting at $37000+,

What is your bet on an over/under at $100,000 for this bidder's winning total with PWCC?

I'm in for over.

Place your bets.

My betting proposition is for the PSA 10 1965 Robinson card.

Your second bidder is bidding on LeBron??/

Too tough to monitor a 33K auction though. I understand.

It's the goose-gander defense.

What's good for the 37K bidder is good for the 33K bidder.

Maybe in both of our examples the bidders have met the buying quota to be exempt from being banned for retractions.
