How to find single player low number commons

If I were looking for Clemons, I would look on eBay under "auctions" for e120 and Neilson's Chocolate, etc. You can also search by his name. I watched a lot of 80+ Neilson type 1 including Clemons close for $2200 last night. If you wait and watch eBay, one will pop up every 3-4 months.

I would call what you are doing, "advanced collecting." If you collected Bob Watson cards like a lot of collectors, you could boot-up your laptop and point and click and you'd have any card you wanted at any time.

I contacted the seller of the lot you spoke of, and asked to pass my information to the buyer if they where interested in selling, but got no response back. That was like last Friday or Saturday. I think most his cards go in lots just like that. I can't justify the cost for 1 common card. Maybe if it was mint I would dip my toe in the water.

To the OP: REA, Heritage, Love of the Game, Golden, Sterling, etc. are all running weekly/monthly auctions now for lower dollar material with tons of slabbed cards. Check those out if you haven't already.


Good luck with your hunt!

I will. Is there any way to have something pop up if one comes up for sale at any AH or do you just have to keep looking?

Now that SGC doesn't have a registry, how do you get in touch with people that have them, and since set building isn't the same as PSA, would people be more inclined to sell them off?

Sorry, I sold my only one years ago:

I think I actually inquired about this exact card. I seen it was for sale from btcarfagno Tom C@rf@gno? I seen it for sale on a different site yesrs ago, and the name matched up here in the member list. I'd love to have that card. I gave him a private message, but never got a response back.

I know you can set a search at Heritage and they will email you when one is consigned.

Thanks I'll see if i can get it set up. Another issue I have is I have found them listed with Verne, Vern, and Vernon.

Yeah, I'm finding this out. I'd imagine the numbers would grow pretty fast if all the sudden the price tag for some of these common cards started to reflect the low volume.
