Dan, then why not add your thoughts!

You can fool some of the people all of the time.

[calvindog]

Peter, they're not fooled; they're consignors.

1952 Topps Pafko Black Back PSA 5. All 'sales' over the past 12 months:

8/19/09 eBay $599.00
7/27/09 eBay $462.88
6/10/09 eBay $710.01
4/1/09 eBay $733.00
2/13/09 Goodwin $2,397.00
12/20/08 eBay $814.12
11/14/08 Goodwin $5,294.55

Even Broadway Rick could only get $462 for this card!

Volatile??? With that kind of spread, you could either make a killing, of just get killed, in a Pafko Futures Market.

Where's Crandall when we need him?

[calvindog]

Yes, the market seemed to get very volatile a couple of times.

By the way, that Goodwin card was the very first one I investigated. Not exactly like finding a needle in a haystack, however.

PS: when I started talking this way about Mastro three years ago a lot of posters/consignors got pissed at me too.

For the record I have never had an issue with Bill or his auctions. I just wonder how he can repeatedly get mulitples of a price for a card that other auction houses can't? My guess, and this is only a guess, is that consignors friends bid their friends consignments up. There is nothing Bill or any auctioneer can do to prevent that 100%. I would like to give a lie detector test to everyone that is saying things in this thread as to the question "have you ever had a friend bid on one of your cards in Bill's auctions to keep it from going too low?". My guess is there would be more than one that has.....

There also seems to be a redundancy of the same cards selling over and over, with more frequency, than other auctions. Not sure why that is....
