Market gridlock

[Directly]

Cant say this with some Farm land Prices. --yesterday offered 50% more than last offer-- In comparisons kind of like any desirable collectables including some baseball cards--not making anymore 1954 Topps , etc.

I can't count how many times I've heard a dealer say "I've got more into it than that" when I make an offer. This is even for cards with comps in the same range. I guess many who bought at the top of the market are just gonna sit tight and wait.

They are actually dollar cost averaging. See 5-10 of the same overpriced low to molid grade HOF rcs sitting in the same case. Dealers are taking the Levi "707" approach, but won't have the political acumen to keep it up

+1. In the spirit of Festivus, I can't wait for this lame excuse for an excuse to disappear from the hobby lexicon--as if it ever will! Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, cares what you (the dealer) have into it. If you overpaid, that's your problem, buddy.
