eBAY Bid

[Marchillo]

I have been a huge buyer and bidder with GM over the years and the positive comments align with everyone else.

-accurate grading even better than expected at times
-combined shipping. As long as I’m still winning auctions I let it rid for a week or longer. If I’m bidding on 61 topps I can see 3-4 set breaks in that timeframe.

All the other stuff is true too though. The prices are higher now and I never buy stars from him. Mostly commons. I am at the point where a need about 800 cards to finish off the 50’s decade and 800 cards to finish the 60’s decade. These are getting to be mostly tougher cards and the premium of say 40% in $15-$20 cards adds up a lot more than a premium on $2-$3 cards. I don’t bid with GM much anymore but when I do I gear up for a lot of bidding. I’ll bid on a couple hundred and win maybe 3-5%. And it’s usually ones with a little less eye appeal than his other auctions. Competition is stiff for his auctions.

Bravo to him for making money in this hobby in a fair and responsible way.
