Curious about T206 cards

[iwantitiwinit]

I totally agree, I posted this a few weeks ago....Has anyone else noticed a recent increase in mid-level PSA and SGC graded cards on EBAY? As recently as 2 months ago I was consistently buying common player PSA 4 and SGC 50 T206's on EBAY in the $48-52 dollar range but in the last few weeks I have not been able to buy many if any cards below $60. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a single buyer out there trying to amass a large quantity of cards. This isn't limited to the 4's but the 4.5's and the 5.0's as well.

If it is a single buyer I guess the only way to find out is if sellers post the ebay names of buyers of multiple lots on net54 and I don't think thats too ethical, but something seems to be going on.

I would guess a handful of new collectors are getting into prewar and the gateway is T206. The first thing most start with is beaters and slowly move up as time moves on and maybe branch into other issues as well. Many midgrade cards are going for lower than usual with 5, 6, and 7 grades going for quite a bit less than what they used to but of course some are going strong. It's all hit or miss, luck and timing.

Agreed 100%.
