This does not make sense.

This just doesn't make sense to me. If you are a serious buyer for this card why would you go all the way to $87K when there's a nicer card sitting with a BIN for $80K? Five buyers passed on the $80K card. The games people play.

what makes infinitely less sense to me is how on God's green earth this specimen found its way into a 10 holder to begin with

I agree with you, BPorter. And from what I have seen many times over-and-over again is that many of the "big" eBay consignment sellers (i.e. PWCC, Probstein,..) seem to sell cards at a higher price pretty regularly. And many times, it is WAY over another lesser priced Buy It Now.
Personally, I think it is (a) many sellers send separate update e-mails after you buy from them, (b) many buyers add them to their Favorite Sellers list and get daily updates and (c) some buyers may not either know to "compare shop" cards or are just too lazy. I honestly see it almost every day and I scratch my head. I have bought from many of the big eBay sellers, but only if the auction hits my target price (or less).
Wow look at that. That section of that card would disqualify it from any of my bulk submissions. I would think zero chance of even a PSA 9 there. Wouldn't lose a wink of sleep about it either.
I've been a supporter of TPG for a long time, but it's this kind of stuff that makes it harder and harder to defend.
🙄
PSA 10s are fun to sell........that is all
looks like the hull of the titanic.
I noticed that the night before the final day it was up to $90,025 with 65 bids , but the next morning it was $87,125 with 48 bids 🤔... how does that happen , 17 less bids 12 hours later
Some retracting going on?

It’s called corruption...
Also, do you really need to charge $125 shipping on a card you know is going to sell somewhere in the $50-$100K range?
For them it's not about squeezing every last dollar, it's more about accounting.
probstein is ok
pwcc is somewhat peculiar

I mailed a $1,000 card overnight to NY and is was $57. Lost big on this shipping. There is no issue charging that much on insured items because it’s not their product.
What a hobby.
Card is way overgraded, and then gets shilled like crazy in an auction run by an auctioneer under FBI investigation.
Good times.
The massive run ups in 2015 and 2016 obviously worked out for some in the hobby. The template is now being applied to a new set of targets.
I think it is fascinating that the Beckett baseball hot lists from 1989, 1990 and 1991 has stood the test of time so well. It's like the glory years of the hobby are hardwired into collector spending habits today. Makes a lot of sense, considering the nostalgia and also the buy in from a young age to the speculative nature of cards. Growing up in the 80's and 90's I believed in Beckett. I believed in speculation. In 1990, I believed a Jose Canseco 1986 Donruss was worth $100.
When the hobby boom went bust in the 90's and eBay made me realize there were millions of these 80's cards out there instead of my little local card show bubbles of scarcity, it was disillusioning.
Maybe this recent boom is just us getting back to that feeling that these cards are scarce, and owning them in PSA 10 is just as satisfying as it was to own an ex-mint copy of the same card back then. We just have to contend with shilling and trimming and lots more $$ than we did back then.
