I had a pretty good day both buying and selling.

I went to bed with nothing sold, thinking I was going to get shutout for the first time in ages. Woke up to a $300 sale.

Buying I have 8 wins out of 22 with 2 still to go. That's a higher % than normal, but not out of line with normal variance.

everything selling for more today on things that I want than I anticipated... been the underbidder, but not the winner... feeling like I dodged a bullet on a few as they went for much more than recent comps

Were you bidding on that Bowman Chrome Wander #/150?

Maybe… ;)

I was planning to overbid on a JRod sapphire just now, but seems like I wasn’t the only one. Possible that one gets relisted as it ended 20% higher than recent comps.

A few more I’ve been skunked on, too, but that JoRam was the most shocking

Ya… I was max at $88. I keep having to shift my targets recently. Seems like a bunch of momentum in names I’ve been stalking, meaning I’m ending up with very few success stories :(

While the market in general is “crashing”, established refractors and parallels of the hot names seem to be going strong.

I'm pretty sure baseball has made the turn upwards in the leadup to Spring Training.

Nice. Are the Rice and other key RC in great condition?

Agreed… seems to have bottomed maybe two weeks ago. Which is right on schedule vs my prior memory. I kind of hoped this year it would be delayed, due to so much late season wax. But somehow a lot of that seems to be slow rolled on a breaking point of view. For instance in sapphire I probably have seen ~20 cards offered on players I collect… out of nearly 1100 print run…

I wonder if the crazy off-season contracts perked peoples’ interest this year? And it is benefitting all players?

Wax is scarce here so i've been buying singles...mostly 2022 Topps Update and Holiday Metallic RC's. Also nicely centred Update chrome.

I got something OK yesterday and then snagged a nice BIN in the middle of the night, which the seller promptly cancelled. :rolleyes:

Tonight has gone a little bit better... I did manage to grab two things... I'm still frustrated I missed out on two JRod last night that I was sure I could win :(

Things seem to be going higher across all sports the last few days. i think a lot of people got money that they are wanting to burn.
