Auction dollars spent vis a vis ebay dollars spent

Posted By: barrysloate

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but with Leon's permission I'd like to comment on the stamp analogy and will try to wind it back to baseball cards. Coincidentally, I have a major American stamp collection (my own) going up on ebay late this Monday night. And since I check stamps on ebay nearly every day (but with the sale of my collection I will be done),I can say that stamps that were once considered rare- the first American stamps from 1847, the $5 Columbian,etc., can be bought off ebay several times a day, seven days a week. They in fact are beginning to look rather common. Imagine if the same thing happened with baseball cards, where every day you could buy half a dozen T206 Cobbs and the supply seemed limitless. That would surely affect prices. As you said, it all boils down to supply and demand. No guarantee the demand for baseball cards will always be at this fever pitch.
