Popular Post podboy66 Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 I was lucky to pick these two up. Upgrades from my current 6.0 and 4.0. These ones are tough in grade! Only double of what I thought that they would go for. Dark Knight, Jayman, pmpknface and 24 others 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats, I was an underbidder on the #29, ...it took a lot of will power to resist hitting that bid button again! podboy66 and tabcom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GreatCaesarsGhost Posted June 24, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) I ain’t no detective, but I think I’ve deduced Heritage’s plan to catch the secondary market. So when the first wave of buyers sell, why wouldn’t they go back thru Heritage?

I think this is a certificate that accompanies the Promise books that were purchased in this auction. It basically offers a special rebate for anyone that resells their Promise book through Heritage.

tth2 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Which is an interesting strategy. I'd have thought that they prefer that any Promise books be resold outside of Heritage, so that if they sell for a loss, Heritage can say "See what happens when you don't sell on Heritage?"

Heritage is making sure the collection is closely associated with them, them going this route doesn’t surprise me. 1 minute ago, tth2 said: It still means that the price has to go up approximately 10% to break even.

Do you think some of the books would have trouble doing that if they were to be consigned again? With the odd exception such as the All-American 61 and possibly a couple others that sold early, most definitely YES. That's why they include "and family member" in their Auction Certificate since they assume that the book(s) will most likely be passed down to their heirs before buyers will even think of reselling because who in the world wants to lose big money.

Maybe it's only for bigger dollar books where they figured they've made big money on them already and they can hopefully do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never used them, though, because I sold the books on the boards. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
