FS/FT: 1956 Topps Ted Williams Blue Line Variation
FS/FT: 1956 Topps Ted Williams Blue Line Variation. I recently picked this up, but then purchased another one I liked better. I'm asking exactly what I paid, so please don't PM me and ask if I'm willing to go lower. Not looking to make a profit, but not looking to lose money either. $190 delivered.
Will consider trades for HOFers of the same value or T206 rarer backs in VG to VG/EX condition. |

To be nice to my fellow board members, many times I list a card too cheap (like this one) and I think the problem is that people believe its too good to be true.
So it doesn't sell and then I either list it on eBay and it sells for what it should normally go for, or I just bump the price here to get it more in line with what it's actually worth. Example: Could have bought this Mantle for $22 delivered... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=241008 But sold for $27 delivered instead... http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=242498 |

Click on the first link. I originally offered it for $22. When I bumped it to $24, then I had a fish on the hook. Unfortunately, I didn't hear back from him and that's when I listed it in the live auction. The strategy obviously works. I can give you many examples of this in every day life with many other products. |

The Williams sold today at the Sports Cards of Houston show for my $190 original asking price. It was bought by a dealer and there is no doubt in my mind that he will mark it up and flip it (and good for him). But if you still want to buy it at the higher price, just PM me and Ill give you the dealer's contact info and you can buy it from him.

Looking at past sales, I'm not convinced $190 was a bargain, I would say it's pretty much in line to averaging high. Six sales (PSA 5) had an average sale price of $177.03 before shipping. High 207.5 low 153.33

How much did the last blue line '56 Williams SGC 60 sell for, or are you lumping all the variations together?
|

That's fair. I lumped them all together as I did not think any of the variations sold for a premium.

Blue line variation already over $200 with 24 hours left...

I think you meant $200

I originally started at $190. Look at the first post.

Yeah, before you increased it to $200 which is what started the entire conversation

I never had a problem with your price, only questioned why you would increase it in a B/S/T thread. Congrats on your sale
