Correction: You don't see announcements from ME that we "just sold a poster for 3 or 4 times what it goes for on eBay". You are confusing us with Rich, who was rightfully overjoyed when he sold "the Buehler" for a lot more than anyone thought he could.

Actually, I spend lots of time telling people how many great deals are available in our auctions. For example, in our Part III of our Mini/Major Auction concluding on Sunday, there are still NINETY FOUR items under $25 with just two days to go, and anyone who buys even one of those items gets our great full-color t-shirt.

And somehow there is a LINENBACKED six-sheet for THE COHENS AND KELLYS which is just $137! This is the historic first movie in the so-popular series about the Jewish/Irish intermarriage in New York City, and should be in a museum somewhere, and yet it is currently selling for WAY under the cost of linenbacking alone.

No sireee Bob. You won't see us bragging about the amazing results we sometimes get. We leave that to those other guys.

No one complains when Bruce or Heritage announce that they just sold a poster for 3 or 4 times what it goes for on eBay. In fact they make such sales fairly regularly. Rod obviously had a customer with a request for lots of items with a *very* specific theme: boxing. The fact that Rod spent many years gathering up all those "cheap" boxing-related items so he happened to have them on hand and ready to deliver when the request came along deserves compensation beyond what any individual cards in the bunch might or might have gone for on eBay. After all, Rod was not wholesaling these items to another dealer -- he was selling them to someone/some organization who wanted a whole bunch of boxing items and wanted them now. They didn't want to spend years accumulating them a few at a time.

So Rod had the inventory to fill the bill and the customer thought his average price of $20 per item was right for them.

What's the beef?

Don't Mexican cards usually bring in the $5-10 each range on eBay?
So for someone buying a huge bulk lot you charge 2-4x average sale price?

This will certainly save me from asking about anything I may have been interested in.

This does not seem to be an inquiry from a prospective buyer, so:

“If you have to ask the price, then you probably can’t afford it.” (J. P. Morgan)

However, for the morbidly curious: we did fill an order for 1000 cards with BOXING titles/themes/images for $20,000.

All others:  Email me with your selections, and I will respond with prices.

In keeping with the theme here... can you give us a ballpark price range for the cards? These sets must all score in a fairy similar pricing field.

thanks.
