Hello everyone! \u00a0I hope all of you had a good break from the routine over the holiday. \u00a0My family and I had a good “break”\u2026but as the quotes indicate, sometimes the break feels more busy than the routine! \u00a0At least the “busy-ness” is filled with activities that are more fun than the usual!<\/p>\n

\"ebay_lot_12_2013_1\"<\/a>There was a pretty interesting result on eBay<\/a>\"\" recently that I wanted to comment on today. \u00a0The seller must have found a set of cards at an estate sale or the like\u2026and then posted them as a one lot. \u00a0Included in the group was NT0005, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, NT0016, The Pink Elephants, and a copy of the Jiminy Cricket Art Corner card, NT0583. \u00a0The other cards in the lot are mostly common, except for the aerial Disneyland view, which can often get a good result on its own depending on the day. (Looking more carefully at the lot while writing this post\u2026there may have been two of these cards in the lot)<\/p>\n

I was watching this auction with my nephew as the \"eBay_lot_12_2013_2\"<\/a>clock ticked down to the final seconds. \u00a0With less than a minute to go, the bid was sitting at something like $22. \u00a0My guess was that the ending price would be around $100-$125 for “retail” of these cards. \u00a0($40-$50 for NT0005, $20-25 for NT0016, $25-$30 for the Art Corner card (this might be low), and maybe $15-$20 for the aerial view\u2026the rest of the cards “free with purchase”).<\/p>\n

In the last ten seconds the bidding came fast and furious. \u00a0$70\u2026$81\u2026$101\u2026$132\u2026with a final winning bid of $135.10.<\/p>\n

So\u2026what do we learn here? \u00a0A couple things I think. \u00a0First off\u2026the NT0005 card continues to command a premium. \u00a0I think everyone bidding here saw that as the most valuable card in the lot. \u00a0The NT0583 card may have contributed to the price more than I guess\u2026but we would need to see one go separately before making any real judgements there. \u00a0And while we don’t see NT0016 that often, pegging it around $25-$30 seems about right based on this and other results.<\/p>\n

Anyway\u2026that’s all I have today. \u00a0Stay tuned for my next post which will be on Disneyland Paris postcards.<\/p>\n

Until next time…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
