April Auction madness :)

[tbob]

It is amazing how often old collectors have chidren or grandchildren who have absolutely no interest in the cards of their dad/grandpa. I agree with Barry, a lot of these cards are going to make their way to auction houses or ebay. That's life, what is sad, though, is that I see children and grandchildren of former players having fire sales and disposing of their ballplayer relatives' momentos and memorabilia. I would NEVER sell my grandfather's medals and other possessions from WW 1, no matter how rare or valuable, so I can't understand the mentality.

Cold hard cash is a powerful motivator even in a good economy!

Good Economy?

I would imagine that some people who have been wanting to sell for the last five years are jumping at the faintest sign of an economic rebound.

[Shoeless Moe]

if there are more people selling, and less collectors......then deals should be there for the taking this month?

Not on everything obviously, but on quite a few.

If not.....(que Conspiracy Theory).....if not, then that means auction houses are bidding up items, then winning a few, and these items will be re-listed in the relatively near future.

,,,,and in the sister/brother auction houses so they try to throw u off the track.

Time will tell.
