To add to Torin's post, it is the individual sheets, booklets and coil rolls which are selling for near to over face and over face when shipping and sales tax (if
ebay collects them for your location). Now mixed item lots and less than full sheets still move at a discount. Bulk lots (say a pad of Trans-Mississippi or Mars Rover) move at a high percentage. Some pads like the Mars Rover $3 s/s at and over face.
The 1998 Trans-Miss pad, face $380 sold this afternoon for $336.01 with shipping. If the buyer paid California sales tax the total hits over $364 or more than 95% of face.
ebay item number:
313461675116I can also direct you to a seller on
ebay who consistently now gets over face for his individual full sheets, booklets and coils form the 1920s-2017 or so all with one cent start bids and has done so for the duration of the pandemic. I am not certain of the SCF rules so I won't post his
ebay ID here; but email me and I will tell you and you can see his sold listing yourself.
Chipshot, your lack of participation is not influencing the market nor would bids from you below market do so either when items are moving at or above face.
