Greg Morris Cards is bonkers!

In a good way! Like tonight there are sooo manyyyy card auctions ending. It would be a full time job just to sort through and see what you want to bid on. On top of that they are mostly in some semblance of order but then there are random cards thrown in the mix. It's overwhelming. I don't know what the solution would be... I can't imagine how they list so many cards. Also, where do all these high grade cards come from?

I admit, I do enjoy Greg Morris. I picked up a ton of Allen & Ginter Flags and Birds and American Indian cards over the last year or so…

They have that many cards ending 7 days a week... You either have to bid early with a high bid or use a snipe service. It is my understanding that they do not submit cards to grading companies so everything that comes in ungraded gets sold ungraded.

Yup, sure seems that way.

Bummer they don't offer a PWE option for cards that sell at a lower price. $4.95 is a lot to pay if you've only won .99 card.

How many cards do they sell for $0.99? I thought all their prices were usually higher than that.

When you no longer bid in a particular seller’s auctions, because his fine, trusted stature in the hobby has made bidders flock to his offerings and considerably raise the prices of each card well beyond what they ‘should’ be.

If you alert them that you are bidding in multiple auctions ending over different days, they would hold your winnings and combine shipping up to a specified period of time. It used to be 6 days - not sure if they still do this.

I sell a good bit on ebay. Weekly vintage auctions. Greg Morris Cards has been my largest buyer for several years. I know he resells on his auctions and gets more money - but that's ok. I welcome his bids.

I recently sent him a massive lot of vintage football that I decided not to try and break down. They sold the whole lot in a few weeks. It would have taken me a year. I'm pleased with the return and the results I got as a consignor. Their fees are what they are. His back-end site for consignors is very very cool.

I've also started buying from his auctions as well.

I do wonder if he doesn't push out some smaller sellers on ebay though. It seems like he is breaking one of every set a week.

I think more than anything he grades mostly accurately so buyers feel comfortable with what they are getting. I started to grade and list in a similar fashion to him several years ago. It has helped my sales I think.
