Will this be the first one to break the $2,000.00 mark? That is unless some other 10 has already broken $2000.00, in which case I'd like to know which card and how much it went for.

PSA 10

One of the Psa 10 Bob Gibson's went for $3,000 in a Superior Auction a while back.

The Clemente 10 went for far in excess of 2K quite some time ago in a private treaty sale.

thegemmintman · July 10, 2002 9:49PM

Ok cut it out

. No Gibson ever sold for three grand. I would know, trust me on this. And no Clemente ever sold for two grand privately because there is no 10. So just cut it out will ya?

thegemmintman · July 10, 2002 9:55PM

BobS, BTW, the first Mantle PSA 9 sold for $2500 on Ebay. No, I didn't even bid on it.

aconte · July 10, 2002 9:56PM

Gemmint,

I thought I was certain about the Gibson card. Maybe mikeschmidt can dig up some info?

thegemmintman · July 10, 2002 10:02PM

ACONTE, YOU DOUBT GEMMINT?

Sorry, I'm feeling lively this morning

. Hey maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't think so.

zardoz51 · July 10, 2002 10:24PM

Come to think of it, you are correct. I was thinking of another set, look gemmnit, it's early in the AM, and I have not ingested sufficient quantities of coffee and cigarettes to function even in a semi-normal fashion. So leave me alone!

BobS · July 10, 2002 10:39PM

BobS, BTW, the first Mantle PSA 9 sold for $2500 on Ebay. No, I didn't even bid on it

But will you bid on this one

?

Is it a 1/1? Sorry, everytime I try to sign up for the on-line pop. report the computer stalls out and never registers me. I read in the past someone else had this problem too. I'm still getting my #'s from a pop. report BKAH posted a few months ago (not very accurate anymore).

thegemmintman · July 10, 2002 11:02PM

I was just trying to tell you the first time a PSA graded TG broke $2,000. It was an historical moment

.

pinhigh · July 11, 2002 4:49AM

BobS - This is the only PSA 10 Killebrew.

mikeschmidt · July 11, 2002 5:00AM

Aconte-

I've got no info. I know that it was only a year or a year and a half ago when 1/1 and 1/2 PSA 10's were selling in the $600 range on Ebay. This set is a prime example where expanding populations have been met with increasing prices.

I sold my PSA 9 Mantle for $2999.95 a few months ago (a year ago?)...so a card has broken $2K.

BigKidAtHeart · July 11, 2002 10:51PM

<< <i>I sold my PSA 9 Mantle for $2999.95 a few months ago (a year ago?)...so a card has broken $2K. >>

if you add s&h, it will have broken 3K!

thegemmintman · July 11, 2002 11:23PM

Crazy, if you sold a Mantle PSA 9 for $3,000 sometime in the last year I would say that you took extreme advantage of the buyer since Topps Giants Mantle 9's have traded in a $400-900 range during that time.

1954 · July 12, 2002 12:23AM

I know of a dealer that has a Bob Gibson PSA 10 for sale and the price tag is $1250. Is this a good deal?

1954

crazysc · July 12, 2002 12:25AM

Mantles were selling for ~$1500 at the time, so maybe it was longer...I don't quite remember. Not that much above market I remember after fees...

thegemmintman · July 12, 2002 1:30AM

Crazy - Mantle 9's haven't sold for $1500 in nearly two years. So what you're now saying is that at that time you charged double the average price, correct?

1954 - are you sure it's a '64 Topps Giants Gibson PSA 10 that you saw for sale? As far as I know all four of the 10's in existence are accounted for and not currently for sale.

BigKidAtHeart · July 12, 2002 2:30AM

<< <i>As far as I know all four of the 10's in existence are accounted for and not currently for sale. >>

Hey PINHIGH, wonder how Gemmint would possibly know this???? hmmmm, I wonder????

thegemmintman · July 12, 2002 2:38AM

Bigkid, as you know I keep detailed records

.

mikeschmidt · July 12, 2002 2:38AM

Shane -- Earlier on in the history of 1964 Topps Giants cards, there was a Bob Gibson PSA 10 card that did sell in the $1,400 to $1,500 range.

pinhigh · July 12, 2002 5:47AM

BigKid - Everybody knows Gemint has all the 10's

BobS · July 14, 2002 12:03AM

Come on Gemmintman!!!. 10 hours to go and you're going to let a collector of fishing licenses and old scales pick up this 10?

BigKidAtHeart · July 14, 2002 1:32AM

<< <i>Come on Gemmintman!!!. 10 hours to go and you're going to let a collector of fishing licenses and old scales pick up this 10? >>

Bob, check back when there are 10 SECONDS TO GO and I bet it will be a different story!

Cubfan · July 14, 2002 10:35AM

Great prophecy Jeff!!!!! Gemmint comes through. Interesting about the apparent ghost bidding going on before that.

thegemmintman · July 14, 2002 10:43AM

What prophecy? I bid with 4 seconds left, not 10

. Yes ghosts (Casper and friends) were abound.

BigKidAtHeart · July 14, 2002 11:40AM

$2550.00 and the scariest thing is to think about how much Higher he would have been willing to go!!!!

pinhigh · July 14, 2002 12:24PM

Nice job Gemmint.

BobS · July 14, 2002 8:58PM

Way to go gem!!!!

Why don't you toss us 8-9 GPA guys a bone. How many of the 60 do you NOT have in a 10?

mikeschmidt · July 14, 2002 9:34PM

Anyone out there know who couse011 is -- one of the active bidders on the card? PM me if you have any info...

dude · July 14, 2002 10:40PM

gemmint,

Congrats! The card is a beauty. You definitely live up to your name!

mikeschmidt,

I don't divulge information about my customers, but I will say the couse011 is a very legitimate bidder and a highly recommended buyer.
