Hey guys. I'm finally starting to go more into the immediate/advanced collcetor level (with HOF signed postcards) and wanted to get some advice on how to find the right places to buy/bid and how to spot fraud and all that.

    All depends on which autos you are looking for. Ideally when dealing with the bigger auction houses, the autographed postcards will already be graded. Study prices on past auctions--most of the online auction houses have previous results somewhere online. Start with smaller auctions like sirius before jumping to the bigger houses--know the rules. Know the premiums they implement.

    These boards (for the most part) are a wealth of knowledge. Don't be afraid to ask opinions on autos/post scans.

    Just my two cents...
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12
