WHAT IS BOOK PRICING AND WHO CARES ABOUT IT?

IF!

BECKETT IS THE MOST RESPECTED AUTHENTICATOR AND PRICING GUIDE FOR SPORTS CARDS AND COLLECTABLES!

But ask me if I care? Has card collecting gone bust can anyone answer a few very important questions, does anyone care?

Maybe it is just me, but I doubt it?

Beckett value $1,500, E-bay sell price $500.00 What is wrong with this picture?

And yes the card was Mint or Better!

You see it is like this and I hope some of you more intelligent people here on E-Bay will grasp what I am trying to say?

All anyone has to do is look at the prices cards are selling for here on E-BAy and you will be speechless or you should be!

Jordan and Lebron cards selling at a all time low, others soon to follow.

How can anyone justify buying Boxes or Case product when if you want to sell the stuff you don't want you can only get 20% max of your final cost?

There are to many Jordan cards being produced and Lebron cards are following suite, this only means the demand is low and the value is shot!

Stop signing so much Jordan?????

My collection went from $50,000 to $10,000 on Jordan cards alone!

If you are like me,then you can see that this was not a wise investment?

So keep collecting thinking your stuff is forever going to be of value and watch what happens? The only way we can guarantee that our collections are not going to fall apart is to get thru to Upper deck and the athletes we collect and get them to understand the concept of collecting from our point of view?

You see they are making tons of money from collectors, don't you think they owe it to us to consider how they affect the prices of the cards once they are in private collections or on the free market?

Post blogs, call Upper deck, Beckett and all the others and ask them if buying your next pack, box or case is really a good investment?

Know this, it is for them!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love ripping cases and believe me it is almost as fun as the slot machine the only problem is you have the chance of getting a return from a slot machine what is the return from a case of cards become?

Maybe I will start collecting $20-$100 bills I bet by the end of the day my investment will be worth atleast as much as when I started??????
