Nice work! I went 2-6 on the t205s. Both upgrades as I keep working to improve the set! Was hoping to fare a little better but the losses went for silly pricing.

[eliotdeutsch]

Anyone here pick up the t205 Evers? Perhaps it was an upgrade and you have an old one to sell?

I won the Persons and Westlake but lost out on three others.

Last month a Young portrait 4 sold for 3200. This month another sells for 8900. That’s a nice return.

I think only two bidders participated over 3500. One with 10 feedback, one with all PWCC activity. So it goes.

PWCC is cannibalizing a lot of the competition. Who else on ebay regularly sells high end (pardon the pun) Goudeys and the like? I don't see much besides them. Some of the other usual sources (Probstein), but a lot of his stuff is not auction format.

Noting that bidders of certain types of cards are constantly or exclusively going to PWCC these days hardly surprises me.

I think that has to do with the shunning of any other seller whose name is NOT PWCC or Probstein. Like you said, even Probstein gave up the auctions. With all other sellers being basically ignored, it is not cost effective to sell those items yourself.

1 for 2... Love me auctions that end when it's posted to end

I managed to get the E92 Cy Young SGC 5. At $1528, it seemed like a steal considering some of the other prices.

I was very pleased with a pickup of a PSA 2.5 Lajoie with bat... well under comparable prices.

[Touch'EmAll]

I bid on 3 card, were solid bids or so I thought. Got none. Like I said in the collecting focus thread, my recent focus has been outbid notices.

The Young card was not nice enough to warrant the price. The last one was. I am so glad I picked mine up at the national this year.

The green cobb is still a buy in my opinion. I think it is setting precidence for the other big time HOF portraits. It seems demand is through the roof. You can’t give money away in this country right now. It is so hard to find workers let alone quality workers.

Uhhhhh...what?

What? Maybe I did not connect the dots there properly.

Everyone is busy and jacking up the prices to get work done. Sometimes by double and triple what it cost last year.

There are a lot of people right now making a lot of extra disposible income. I am not sure where you live but when I call 30 electricians and when I get 1 phone call back for an estimate on a multi thousand dollar job and it is priced at 300 an hour, that tells me something.

I can not get a paver to call me back, a tree guy, a plumber and the list goes on. Like I said, I can not give my money away.

I'll take some money if you're handing it out. I'll need it to afford one of those portraits

In my area the demand for plumbers and electricians seems to outstrip the supply, it's very difficult to find one who will come any time soon or charge a reasonable fee.
