I love when the dealer says, "Let me see what I have into it " Then, I say in a nice way, "I don't care what the hell you have into it." Funny as hell.beer chug.gifbeer chug.gifbeer chug.gif

People are always so aggro when this topic comes up on here. I'm sure there are some situations where the value of a card is obvious, but most of the time that I say "I have X into it" or a friend says it, the value is uncertain. A lot of the cards I buy I buy from friends. If we are talking about a card and I say, Would $800 work?", and they say, "No, I have $1000 into it." that is just good info for me. I don't want to ask a friend to lose money on a card, so I either just quit trying to get it, or I sometimes think it over and decide I want it bad enough to up my offer.

And the times that I've said the same, it's because I have a pretty good idea that I can sell it for the price I paid or more. I've told people who make me an offer, "Sorry I paid more for it." many times as a nice way to say they are not in the right neighborhood, and then sold the card for the price I wanted to get for it many, many times.

I’ve noticed they went bananas in 16’ and 20’. the 2020 Covid bananas prices seemed to last longer and are still in affect for vintage rare cards. Seems to coincide with election years. 24’ will be interesting.

From a business perspective it just doesn’t make sense to hold a non performing asset. You can take that money and put it into something that you will get a greater return possibly multiple times over before selling the card at the price to break even.
