Nice! not as centered as yours, but man there are some bad ones that are out there. The one I have I'll keep until a better one comes along.

Everybody has some nice auto sets.

I've noticed a lot of these have off-center autos as well. The 2nd one isn't so bad, but the first is pretty off.

Here's my contribution to the sets of autos

I'm aware that we have an economic disaster and my wealth (what wealth?) will be re-distributed or is it distributed (since it wasn't distributed once yet)?

Given our hard times, and the collectors are suffering the major hit (who's going to buy cardboard when their family have to eat in a lighted house), I still can not believe the lack of ANY thing happening on ebay 6 weeks before Christmas. Gives you encouragement about the retail holiday spending, doesn't it? The low stock market is going to get lower, don't try to catch a "falling knife", you'll just get cut.

I still am amazed that in weeks, I've seen almost nothing up for sale of worth by Sellers with Griffey Cards. The Lack of buyers I understand, but you'd think some sellers would need some money. I understand if a seller wants to wait because items don't sell or they sell cheap, but how can they afford to sit on all that inventory and DO NOTHING?

I haven't even seen an American Hero Card on Ebay for 4 weeks, except maybe one I already had.
Stalled forever at 48/100.

I also understand the World Series is over and Baseball is a distant thought (Go Bengals! that's a joke guys), but still NOTHING for sale? One might think its a great buyers market and a great time to pick up some rare cards from somebody needing money? Ain't happening. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE DEADEST COLLECTABLE MARKET I'VE SEEN IN 12 YEARS.

As far as I'm concerned, if the world can't buy and sell collectables, ESPECIALLY GRIFFEY, we're all going down.

Buy some guns, start growing your food and settle in for the disaster coming- the end of the world and worse- the end of collectables.

I dont think we will ever see the end of collectibles. This is clearly a hard time for many people, and some are having to find ways to come up with extra income. If you are a collector, the last thing you want to do is sell your cards that you have been collecting for years and years. I think thats why we arent seeing much on ebay....collectors are waiting until they've gone through all other options before listing cards.

Not griffey, but i have seen more and more high end cards with HIGH BIN prices....just another thing that backs me up. Collectors dont WANT to sell card X, but if they got 3x what they normally would for it, they would sell it and not look back. Once the economy picks back up, things will be back to normal. In order for this "buyers market" to be strong for buyers, we need sellers to list the cards. I just dont think the collectors are willing to give up their most favorite cards yet....which more often than not are the high end you and I speak of. (i thought i might have seen one of the big cards i need for the immortal set for the same reasons you mentioned, then i thought about it and came up with this)

Kevin, nice sales. It seems to be hit and miss right now. If I want something the price goes through the roof, if I am not interested it sells for nothing :evil:
