Auction Houses. Do we need more?

[Stevenice1]

www.cardboardpicasso.com is something to check out. They market themselves as an alternative to sports card auctions and have "buy now" prices, 0% buyer's premium, free next-day shipping with insurance, a loyalty program, and coupons up to $200 off (through their loyalty program). They have an ebay site as well but the prices are always cheaper on their site.

3 posts, 3 references to the same business. Any chance it is yours? If so, why don't you just say that's?

How about a niche auction house? I see so many generalists doing the best they can with a variety of items. Wouldn't it be nice to see a niche auctioneer devoted only to prewar baseball, for example.

I think that's why I love RMY Auctions. It's a niche auction for photo collectors. How many times do you actually see photos featured in an auction house? Not very often. Most of the time it's a Ruth...Mantle...Cobb...game used bats...hats..etc or personal awards from an estate.

If more auction houses meant more great cards coming to market then yes. I fear that what it would mean would be more stuff that you could just as easily find on EBay. I say no. In fact, we probably need less than we have now.
