Goldin Vault

Exhibitman · #1 07-27-2021, 08:11 AM

The vault idea is a manifestation (metastasis?) of the investment mindset. Why own a card if all you have is a scan of it? I am not crazy about the fact that my good cards are in a bank or even that I have to play with them in plastic holders. Not having them at all...might as well buy f***ing Tesla stock instead.

Some buyers like to avoid sales tax & I'm sure if you win a lot at Goldin, there will be no shipping fees if you place it in their vault.
That's how PWCC does it.

Me, I like to have my purchases sent to me & I open them like Xmas gifts.
Wouldn't want to take that away.

+1 Bought an insanely rare card of my favorite player from a fellow member recently. I was expecting it to arrive while I was away. I had just finished loading my travel trailer to go camping for the week. My mail lady showed up early with the card so it was like Christmas here 2 Mondays ago.

Yeah but when you get that check back from the Sale you have to claim it as income. So short term sales tax sure long term your still gonna have to pay. I�ll keep my cards safe and sound with me :-).

It looks like there is some competition going on between Goldin and PWCC. PWCC went after Goldin with its high end auction, and Goldin is going after PWCC with a rival vault. Competition is good, no?

Well I guess with one of these new outfits you could buy a 1/5,000th share of a sweet card is a plastic holder held by someone else. Imagine what a gas that would be!
