<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 10159515, member: 10944"]Gotta love when the auctioneer blows it with their photos and/or description. I’ve done very well for myself hunting for those situations in catalogs. One auction house employee for upset with me for taking advantage of his mistakes every auction. I did feel kinda bad but proof read your damn catalog if you don’t want me finding the value in your flubs.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ND card was a great catch. If you sell it and don’t mind plz share what it brings. I’d be curious to know. Anything that captures a part of history which is now only history is very interesting. I like just rppc local scenes too. Just seeing a place as it was but no longer is. The local industry cards are particularly interesting. </p><p><br /></p><p>I feel like eBay is kind of over saturated with postcards a bit. It kind of became en vogue to be a postcard dealer in the past 5 years. Mostly I think because they are so easy to store, list, and ship. I don’t personally have the patience for it. All my cards I initially bought to sell have become a personal collection. I’d like to get my retired mother started selling them to supplement her fixed income but she seems disinterested. For some reason I have a relatively easy time finding good collections cheaply. Not top notch ones but good collections with maybe 10%-20% really salable stuff and a good bit of other interesting stuff worth having. They seem to get slept on in my particular area for whatever reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
