National pricing

sometimes the best move is get the guy’s card and reach out to him in a week with your fingers crossed. has worked for me. has also not worked.

As an exhibitor, I never expect to get 100% of my asking price for most items. I am even negotiable on the rarest of the rare.

I tend to sell at 85% to 90% of my asking price, and this year I am showcasing ten showcases or more (all locked) of the common to the rare. But I am also focusing on significantly rarer items that could feasibly sell in the $10,000 to $100,000 range or more.

Some of those items I am not that negotiable but it depends on whether I have a good show or not. You never know.

I have not experinced this decline in prices that the rest of the market keeps talking about. Well maybe in non sports cards and sets. I expect to have a good show and if not, I will curb my buying during the rest of 2022 and into 2023.

im guessing you have better stuff than most!!!!

[Steve_NY]

I guess that I work hard every year to find rare items. I would say I am in the top 10 percent, but what does that really mean.

The last time we did AC, I barely made my goal, but I hope I will do that quickly this year.

I am making a display in 2 of my showcases of Topps Test cards, wrappers and unopened packs. I also will have many proof cards as well.

If you are a collector of test cards, you really need to see my display, It should be interesting.

In fact, if I don't sell it before the show, I will be highlighting some really rare Topps test packs including only the second 1968 Topps Test Basketball pack ever found. Imagine pulling a Wilt Chamberlin test card that PSA lists at $50,000+ in a PSA 8. Imagine a 9 or 10?

I am also exhibiting a 1968 Topps 3D Baseball pack and a 1968 Topps All Star Baseball Plaks pack. Among others!!!

I just revised my packs for sale list about an hour ago, so contact me if you want a copy.
