Major Auction Houses

JESSEJAMES

Hello All! I have a question for all of you PSA collectors... Do any of you buy from major auction houses, if so which ones?? I am just curious.
Thanks and God Bless!

Hi Jesse

Sorry I don't.

They have good buys, at times, but the BP's keep going up and much of stuff gets bid up beyond my capability.

I used to buy a lot from Greg Manning Auctions when they were in business along with Alan Rosen.

Of interest, I used to buy from Superior - which I understand has recently closed shop.

Cool, I assume that mostly everyone deals with Ebay? Am I correct on this assumption?

I'm not totally sure.

But my guess, most.

eBay all the way! I've only purchased memorabilia from the big auction houses not cards, except one! Mike, what gives with the new avatar?

i have purchased from big houses because i wanted the item. don't be like a kid in the candy store. for example if you only collect baseball, but you think that PSA 10 1972 FB card looks good-AVOID. as mentioned you should figure the juice before you put that last bid in. also their shipping charges can be steep.

I've won auctions from 2 major auction houses and have had good experiences with them(Goodwin & Robert Edward). Just when you bid you have to allow for the buyers premium. I buy mostly from eBay.

IMO most of the really high quality items are offered by auction houses, although there are a lot of exceptions. Since they tend to bring in the higher end bidders they get the higher end consignors.
I've had excellent experiences with Mastro, REA, and Goodwin.
