I've enjoyed lurking around a new card buy-sell site lately, checkoutmycards.com. Several Microsoft folks up in Seattle launched it a year ago as a sort of cards-only alternative to eBay. This has been trid in the past, but almost all prior competitors were creamed by unscrupulous buyers and sellers. This one seems to have some legs to it.
If you want the details of how it works, just go visit the site. What's cool about it is you can easily check card prices without the often laborious eBay navigational process. I just saw a 1957 Mantle, just like the one my pal Evan has up in Seattle, for $800! I couldn't find any 1963 Mantles for sale today like the one I own. But I see where a 1959 Bob "Hoot" Gibson RC is going for $300, and I have that card as well as most of the 59 Topps set. Also noticed some nice prices on some '63 Topps I've got: Bomber's Best, Mays, McCovey. but not enough to make me want to sell them--yet. Anyway, I think the site is cool and I wish its team the best of luck.
