T206 anniversary

[majordanby]

i expected more commemoration of the set, specifically by auctioneers and during the bigger card shows (e.g. national). Were there any written articles (or any press) on the anniversary?

Beckett baseball magazine had two full page ads in at least one maybe two issues really pumping this product. I think there had to be other exposure also, probably on websites, because this product dried up quick.

I don't think it helped any that the economy tanked right before and during the big anniversary, if anything prices were down from the previous years or atleast that is how it seemed.

I agree with Johnny . When the economy went down far less folks have/had discretionary income. Many of those that did/do have it tightened their belts too. I am not sure if anything would have made the cards go up during this time. (except the very rare and high end ones, which seemed less affected) regards
