The National - Star Card Prices

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

Well I set up at Philly with two other Net54 Members who have incredible stuff, slabbed, Tobacco through today, and I can guarantee you they negotiated all weekend. I didn't bring a ton for sale as I am more there to promote the auction, but negotiated on and sold slabbed 1915 Cracker Jacks.

I watched the video and saw Howard and Scott in it.

Hard to believe someone would have turned down $2 million for the Tatis card shown in the video, but I guess they're hoping that it will eventually be worth what one of Trout's cards sold for. Seems like a bit of a risk to me, but to each their own.

Being filmed, I doubt anyone would make a concrete statement that they would sell at a certain price. These prices are nuts though-yikes!

I often wonder what the ratio is of people who show up at the National to sell their cards...selling them to dealers vs consigners?

I feel the auction houses get pretty much 90% of all the good raw virgin vintage collections these days, it’s been this way for years now.

One thing to remember about the NSCC is for many dealers the cost can be $5-6K for everything from table booth fees to hotel room to food and then to travel.

That's a huge outlay before you take in a penny. I know customers don't think of those factors but I can assure you the more it costs to set up, the harder it is to give anything but dealer to dealer hi level discounts but retail may be, well retail.
