when to sell

[mredsox89]

Sell when the prices and hype are at their peak, you'll be able to buy back what you sold 2 months later at lower prices almost everytime.

And yes, the Baseball America Prospect Handbook is well worth the money.

Yup, if you sell at the right time, 90% of the time you can buy it back for cheaper in a month+

I don't worry about peaks and hype and all that.

Let's say I buy a card for $20, and my goal is to make an ROI of 100%.

I sell that card for $40, NO MATTER WHAT. Once my goal is met, I don't think twice, I just sell it and move on.

Sometimes I miss out on big profits by selling early (Braun, Longo, Hanley) but I very rarely lose money because I held too long.

Though I do agree with most of the information on this thread, this is the only post that captured my exact though.

I need to post this thread on the ebay message boards for all the potential buyers out there. And send it to television consumer reporters!

prospect book a must have and research for sleepers. jay bruce will be an example in a year maybe 2 of braun, longo type situation. a couple of big years of production will level off the price of his cards higher. i won't miss out this time although i am a fan of his and will probably hold my heritage red auto bgs 9/10. buy low sell high, buy low sell high. repeat as many times as necessary.

just don't rely in it as an absolute source

As you read it, try to stay ahead of its curve. Doing that can make you a lot of money.
