4/2 Over, properly, under-priced. 1969 Lew Alcindor PSA 7 @ $2000. Verdict; properly/slightly under

Our first basketball card. Hard to find in the very high grades. Is it worth the premium over 5s?

Standard disclaimer:

Classifications

Overpriced-given the player, set, condition, etc. this card is currently selling for higher than you would expect. You would sell at the current price.

Properly priced- same thing, with your feeling that you would buy or sell a this price and feel comfortable.

Under priced- again same and you would buy at the current price.

To keep the discussion light and not getting bogged down by definitions, just think of the stated PSA standards of each grade, not a specific card for sale or recently sold. I’m also not looking at pop reports.

I don’t have VCP access, so I’ll just list the card and the average of the last two eBay sales.

Feel free to send me a PM if you want a particular card thrown out for discussion.

    Tough call. Slightly overpriced for a PSA 7. However, I could see the market accepting that price point. Iconic basketball card, great set loaded with RC's and condition sensitive. Hands down top 2 greatest college player ever alongside Maravich and top tier all-time great professionally. Would much rather drop 2K on Lew than Zion.

    A solid buy at 2k. I think priced just about right. mvrgex makes some great points.
