67 PSA 9 Pete Rose goes from Superior to E-Bay

JeffVN

That great looking 1967 Pete Rose PSA 9 (Lot #360) from Superior's recent auction has landed on E-Bay's Door. I'm trying to figure a way to put the link in, but failing at this point.

Anyway, here is the url: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1983640355

There are some 1969 PSA 10's also on Ebay that were just in Superiors auction.

How much did the Rose sell for at the Superior auction?

JeffVN

$1,438 including buyer's premium. I expect the total on E-Bay will be higher, but you never know.

what is the spot in the border just below the S in reds
at the bottom of the card?
(it was in the scan on superior too!)

this rose went too cheaply.i have seen most of the psa 9s
from this year and this is about as nice as you can find.
as you can see from the reserve i listed at a level a collector
can purchase at a ridiculously low level for this card's qualities.
if anyone has any well centered 1958 psa 8 they dont need or picked up at an auction or show at nice prices please let me know.not everyone
buys at superior just as i dont participate in mastro auctions.good
luck to all and happy holidays.

It has now surpassed the E-Bay reserve, and sits at $1,475. Eight Days left til it closes.

Frankly, I was stunned that it went so cheaply on Superior. I think, but its just my personal opinion, that the economic situation has depressed prices on our hobby.

Im shocked (kidding) that this seller is going to make a profit on this card by selling it on eBay. Ive heard it over and over again....eBay is a flea-market, strong buyers do not surf ebay (they do not have the time), its such a hassle, yada yada yada.

Whoops.

The Auction finished today, at $1,975.00, so the seller made a nice profit for holding the cards almost exactly 3 weeks.1967 Pete Rose goes for $1,975.00

Yes, but subtract the Ebay fees of $40.66, and the seller didn't even break $500. What if that's all the money he made in those 3 weeks. It only works out to $166.66 a week, or for a 40 hour work week, that $4.17 an hour. That's not even minimum wage.

Too bad the original owner didn't make that dough. Take out the 15% on both ends, he lost quite a bit more then $500...jay

And you're not even figuring in the cost of the money - $1500 at say 2% vig/week if you're borrowing it from "the man" - there's another $45 in costs...

A new seller has listed a 67 Rose PSA 9 for sale on E-Bay. This guy is using the picturre from the recently ended superior 67 Rose as the image on his auction. I've already sent him an email asking if the card pictured is the card he has for sale. Same Image as earlier 67 Rose sale.

JeffVN,

It's actually not the same card. Look closely at the cert #s. The one that just sold is 90007144 and the new one listed is 90007141. I checked out some of the other cert #s around these and found Aarons, Clementes, Mantles, Gibsons - lots of stars from '66 & '67 in PSA 8 & 9! Looks like someone had a really great submission.

JEB.

Can't really add in all the hours though. You can only figure in the amount of time spent on posting the card, packaging the card, etc. $500 profit in 3 weeks for 1 card isn't too shabby. Last time I checked, $500 gets you quite a bit at the supermarket.... or, if you're like me, a lot of rounds of golf!

gaspipe26

$500 is a 33% profit. $250 is a17% profit. Whats wrong with that for 1 card? Believe me , a guy who has the original $1500 to buy the card doesnt need the sale of the card to live on.

koby

If I could flip the majority of my cards for 33% profit within three weeks, I would be very happy.

and dont forget the paypal fee of 44.19

Paul,

I see that you apply the same principles to Baseball cards as the stocks you deal in. Buy low, sell high. Very good job on the Rose deal.

thanks Rob.Happy and Healthy!

The buyer of that card the 67 rose on e-bay used buy it now on a 74 rose psa9 I listed last nite for $450. The card wasn't even on E-bay for an hour! I'm happy I really put buy it now has an after thought but of course the doubt sets in did I let it go too cheap. 450 is the last SMR I saw. This guy has bought a few Highend roses in his recent auctions. Is rose hot because of possible HOF acceptance. By the way for you percentage guys I bought the whole 74 set for $15 new in 74 including storage in 5 different houses over 29 years I'D say that must have a pretty good profit margin.

Rose has been really hot for the last year, but I do think the HOF deal is adding some additional fuel to the fire. Any vintage Rose 9s you may have are definitely commanding a premium right now. $450 for a 74 seems like a good sell to me.
