GDJMSP shows a good example of why you need to do a lot of research when buying or selling at auction. Not all auctions or the auction houses are created equal. Shows at the beginning of the year, and at the end of the year often have better attendence. This is due in large part to the investor market. Some standout auctions are Long Beach, Santa Clara, Baltimore, and to a lesser degree FUN and Las Vegas. The ANA shows usually fall into the last catagory. Very good for buying, but not the best for selling. The ANA in their fashion provide a lot of excitement and tons of material. This is often not a good approach. Some of the auction houses have worked thier auctions into the online market, and this helps considerably. Just because you have a rare coin doesn't mean that it should be auctioned in and of itself. You MUST do your homework to achieve success.
