National Question

If you see something you've never seen before...buy it


If you come across something, and want to see if it's there later...buy it


You'll be kicking yourself if you dont!

True! If you don't take a stab on it first time around don't count on it being there the next time. There are so many things I have seen at the national that I simply haven't seen elsewhere. It's worth it just for that. And who knows how many more nationals there will be the way things are trending.

How do dealer to dealer deals work? Dealers sell to other dealers at a price where everyone makes money?

Most dealers have clients they are in the hunt for. Trades or bulk sales happen before the doors open because the acquired cards are presold for usually top dollar.
I have a few friends that are dealers that are on the look out for a few deals for me. A dealer will be willing to make less on an item when they know it's already sold. That's how I acquired my Hank Aaron rookie last spring.

Yeah, I lost out on great T206 Johnson portrait one time because I didn't pull the trigger right away.

Agreed. If it's high on your want list and quite rare, snap it up. Otherwise it might be quite awhile before you see another, and then likely at a higher price.

Best of luck to you there,
