To any investors: Are you continuing to buy cards right now or have you stopped buying?

[Juan Gris]

I've definitely increased my buying, even branching out slightly to a few other players that I've enjoyed for the past 20-25 years but never actively pursued until now. For this reason I plan to go through my collection this weekend and list while the gettin' is good.

First rule of card spending. Why settle for one when you can have two at twice the price.

Or in your case, why not ten? I saw that you have over 100,000 cards of Gonzalez now. Impressive.

Erstad stuff I need has been really thin for a few months. Same for Bucky Jacobsen, although I only need super rare stuff.

I'm picking up a few other things that I plan to flip eventually.

Since I am retired I have been selling some of the cards I picked up in the past.. There are more Edgar Martinez collectors now and I'm getting rid of my dupes..

I listed this card on EBAY last night and sold it within an hour

All of Griffey Jr's rookies, auto's and game-used have been red hot. Now is the time to sell if you can use the cash.

I'm not an investor in cardboard, I'm a collector. But I've been buy a lot more and not selling anything.

For the record, I am not a Leaf Employee. I'd be curious to know who added that under my name.

Same here and spending more getting cards graded for encasement and protection. Remember this card? Only got an 8.

I think that people selling on eBay right now are taking a big risk because mail delivery is a lot slower than usual due to the coronavirus pandemic. Buyers should understand and be more patient but you're still going to get some who are quick to leave some type of negative feedback because they don't see the big picture.

Oh man, you just had to bring that up didn't you???
Can't believe it only got an 8, it's obviously trash and you should send it to me!

 

[theplasticman]

Just wish I could find some of the Bucky Jacobsen cards I still need

really ? i always print my own postage and place packages in my mailbox out here in the middle of the sticks for pickup and i havent seen any delay at all in time of delivery.. .i do realize i've only sold and shipped about 20-25 packages in 2020 , but so far the longest any of them took for delivery was 4 days from south carolina to california - and that included a sunday - with most taking exactly 3 days and several as fast as 2 days to go halfway across the country....
