That Mantle PSA 3 for $105k is wild. Meanwhile, the last PSA 5 sold for just $87k. The power of eye appeal for sure. Also another good example of buying the card, not the grade.
Crazy that 86 Jordan even got a 10, considering lightly tipped corners, rough edges, and how harsh PSA has gotten on that card with 10s. Must’ve been a super-spend-customer. 😊
Good on you for giving the entire research department the week off. I'm pretty sure I ran into them at a bar in Atlantic City at 4am on Monday morning.
It scares me that dumb people are throwing money at garbage like that, when too much of that happens and inevitably crashes it will pull down everything to a degree.
Why? She's an incredible player with a huge following, and a Superfractor 1/1 Auto that's graded a PSA 10/10 is highly unusual. Looks like an awesome card to me, and she's only going to get more attention and fans heading into the NCAA Tournament and then eventually the WNBA.
I just watched this video today and it sucks to hear that you came to Burbank. I would’ve came to meet you and your friend. I hope you had a good time while you were here and maybe we’ll meet another time
Fun fact, Tom Brady was actually on the checklist for 2014 Topps Five Star. It would have been his 1st baseball card, but he was a redemption, and they were never fulfilled
I don't understand why people are buying him up like his accomplishments are up there with Brady. He's on a complete team that can't win the superbowl, big deal
Enzo is infact the founder of Ferrari. He started his career with Alfa Romeo running their race division. He famously used purple ink in his pen. He is the one that spurned Henry Ford II that made Ford create the GT40. (Watch Ford vs. Ferrari).
So, I bought one of these cards. Interesting story in it. An Ebay seller "admetstigers" had a Bryce Harper superfractor I was very, very interested in. Asked him for an area he'd be comfortable. Would not give me one. Told him the amount of money I had as our daughter just got a full ride to my alma mater. Was arrogant and would not give me a price. So, over $50,000 spent on a card I liked even more and I hope that guy is a huge Harper fan as when I showed my shop in Philly the convo, they nearly died.
The Jordan had white tipped corners and chipping on the right side. For every example of cards selling according to their eye appeal (Mantle in the PSA 3), there is an example of a card where at least two buyers don’t properly evaluate what they are buying.
To many people are fooled by the grading companies and don’t know their unscrupulous past. An example is PSA declaration of grading cards much more strictly. Does that mean for the 20+ years before the cards are graded incorrectly? I’d guess so….just look at that Mantle card…a “3”? If whoever submitted it was a PSA “insider” it would get a 6 or 7…probably will come back as such!
I don't know if, Zion, is a bust, but he's just not fully lived up to the hype and the expectations. When he was first drafted, it sounded like he would be a top 10 player in the NBA, and there's probably 25, ahead of him. Paying those prices for his cards is, absolutely nuts. Then again, they at one point were at 6 figures, when he really didn't do much. Win an MVP. Or Championship. Yeah. Nearly 20K for Penny Hardaway. I guess if its a super collector. Even then, seems a bit of a reach. Penny was a really good player and was, a popular player but, unfortunately hurt a lot. Don't really understand the price on that one. But, to each their own.
With all these big auction house company's placing eye appeal stickers on slabs👎 how about we get real authenticated stickers from our beloved RU-vidr "Baseball card collector Invester" we can have great quotes like Ran over by truck division, 1980's let's get wild, I'm jealous division. I'm sure there are many more memorable funny quotes 😂 If I have to start my own kick starter to get these stickers placed on my slabs I'm all in. 😎👍💯
This makes me wonder what the Kaitlyn Clark Topps Flagship superfractor auto of her first WNBA card will sell for Typically the cards in the college uniforms bring less. Could it challenge Serenas record for female sports card?
@@ROMEYYOUROCK scrap a leaf auto of a 50$ card and slap it on something (fwiw, I did this because I wanted something and don't like paying top dollar and I got a 4 on the auto.. lol- I don't care, I was never paying 1k otherwise)
I miss the talks and games you play with The Texas Snowman. You got to have him on again soon! As much as I dislike the grading companies, now we have to put up with other entities (Like PWCC and “NBA”) putting sticker on the front. Soon you won’t be able to see the player due to all the stickers these idiots add to the cards!!
MBA not NBA lol. It's Mike baker authentication. He was the first full time grader at psa. He left and formed his own company, no grading just authenticating
@@richardbianco9674 You’re still missing the pun. It does not matter how long they have been around, it’s that, just like grading, they can be misused to inflate prices. Are you really going to believe a PWCC sticker after Ebay verified, then threw them off their site for schill bidding?
