Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

I wouldn't recommend making offers. They no longer accept and will just double the price.

Not true at all, I made several offers today that were accepted, and so what if they did jack up the price already at $125 that I wasn't willing to pay? Just means it will sit long enough unsold so that card sharks will forget about it and they'll drop the price in time.

That's the first I've heard with them reacting to offers favorably in months. To your 2nd point, I've never seen them adjust prices downwards no matter how long it sits.

That's not been the case for me.

Congrats on nabbing a Thomas!

They do occasionally drop their prices. No pattern to it that I've noticed. Some cards never seem to drop in price.

Re: dropping price? I've had things on watch for years with no change.

I should add, my offers weren't auto-accepted, but manually done.

 

[carrsallstars]

Same here. But on a few others, they dropped enough to make me pull the trigger. Of course, it's only Manny so maybe they never do on bigger players.

Not price dropping specifically, but minimum acceptance dropping I've benefited from several times.

I just grabbed the Griffey. I don't even like executive promos but its one of 2 cards I wouldn't mind having all the variations. No idea who runs their site or the 90s portion but their prices are all over the place. They just listed Diamond Destiny Golds (someone buy the Griffey so I don't get any ideas) and then Silvers today at the same price. They must do some massive volume to let some of this stuff just sit forever.

Is this Dallascardboys you are referring to?

 

[Gjb70]

Nevermind, see it now. Just cancelled an offer and bought it.

I think the cat's out of the proverbial bag with the executives now though; they may title them wrong, but they're pricing them more aligned to the market.

Is there any way to see what a card on comc sold for?

Not until the card is removed from a port. Which one are you curious about? I probably saw it.

That's gotta be one of the worst Refractor lines I've seen!

FYI player collectors: a bunch of 1997 Pinnacle Totally Certified - [Base] - Platinum Red Unnumbered cards are listed on comc by DallasCardBoys. Most players are there as of now. As usual, prices vary if you're interested.

They would do a lot better if the backs showed "***" instead of just not have the number!

 

[carrsallstars]

Agreed. It's hard to exactly pin down why these cards are not very desirable... Pretty? Check. Rare? Check. But they are just not quite that different from the very cheap #'d versions... Maybe they've all been sitting there for 2 days and I thought they just popped
