Here's a short but interesting read. Note the comment about a few eBay wholesalers spending heavy coin and a call out to Love of the Game Auctions.

That's cool-- the EX/5 Mantle he's referencing in the opening line of page 2 is mine; I bought it from Roger after it was graded at that show.

Thanks for posting this.

Beautiful card by the way DM.

It is nice to see an article that focus's on the here and now.

Maybe the dealer pictured on page 2 made enough money to buy himself a belt. He must be a plumber in his day job.
If you are a member here I'm just kidding!

Mr Mint has this as one of his cardinal rules and it definitely is me - the next time I sell something for a profit will be the first time.

Thanx John.

I love the last line of the article, "if you love this stuff, you cannot be a dealer."

I've bought some raw vintage cards for a real good price in the past, had them graded and could easily "flip" them if I wanted... but I just can't do it.



Cool article, thanks for posting.


Stone, sorry I just missed your post. But I'm right there with you.
