Since we're new to Freedom Cardboard, I'm wondering if veteran readers/posters can help explain why I'm getting no response to my ad offering $75K at market prices or higher for these PSA cards. Are vintage cards just not discussed on Freedom Cardboard? (If so, which other forum might I try?) Or is there something else I can do to find sellers of these cards on FC? Thanks!

Hey,

I've been on thepit for years and wish you the best with this. The trade boards in general have been a bit slow lately and there isn't a ton of vintage moving. I believe that a huge % of the people on the site never visit the trade boards. Maybe speak to a mod (I think CGilmo is probably the best) to find out about getting some exposure on the hobby/discussion section of the chat. Usually no mention of buying is made there, but your buying now is different than the standard "looking for card x". (Another option may be having an article written up/published about thepit on the front page. I believe a bit of a history as well as a write up of the current effort could bring you some vintage as well possibly new customers on the site. Good luck .
