I saw recently that a 1985 Topps M. Munchak PSA 9 1/2 sold for almost $80.00. Here's the Auction link I have the other PSA 9. That makes it very tempting to sell.

Hey at that price I could buy a few 1972 FB PSA 9's Hmmmmmmimage

    Wow! Well, considering it was the only PSA 9 RC of a HOFer in circulation maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but you could get any other card in the set for less than $80 - Moon RC, Ellard RC, Fryar RC, Elway 2nd year, Marino 2nd year, Montana, etc.

    4SharpCorners has done quite well with the mid-80s football PSA submissions. Their early submissions allow them to obtain and offer many low-population PSA 9s10s for initial sale. They must open large amounts of vending?

    I guarantee the bidder thought he was buying the Moon card.

    OUCH!! That's alot of cash for a Munchak rookie. I think I'll submit one and pay $6-7 instead!!image There has been some really high bids lately on mid 80's football, it's been very interesting to watch. If dealers start submitting alot of 80's the prices should come down to earth. Personally, I'll wait.

    Carkim,
    YOU have the other MUNCHAK!!!! You've been holding out on me!!!image

    People forget that this set is approaching 20 years old. Add in black borders and low pop and you get high prices. Prices will come down as pops go up. As was written in a another thread, 84 to 86 football is the next untapped area to submit to get premium prices. Especially 85 and 86.

    tough call on whether the 85 FB cards will maintain their current crazy levels. on the one hand, the set has a lot going for it, as others have noted: the set is now almost 20 years old, not as overproduced as cards a few years younger were, and has those 1971-esque black borders. i think it will always be a set that commands decent money for 9s and 10s.

    but i think the outrageous prices for the non-superstars will soften dramatically as more people see the high prices and send their cards in, resulting in a much higher supply.

    Warren Moon (R) PSA 10 just sold on EBAY for 475.00.....25.00 below SMR. POP is only 8 out of over 900 graded. I think I would rather spend 500.00 on a Moon PSA 10 than 80-100 for common PSA 9's....no offense intended whatsoever.

    Munchak is a Hall of Famer, elected in 2001. I wouldn't consider that a common card...

    You are right, not a common. But the Becektt list price is .50 cents for the raw munchak, pretty close to a common, right? 80.00 would be 160x Beckett for a PSA 9, the Moon (R) sold for $475.00 which is 32x Beckett, and that was for a PSA 10.
  • JasP24JasP24 Posts: 4,645 ✭✭✭
    From my experience, the Beckett RAW prices rarely if ever parallel PSA graded prices. If anything, the "Beckett" price will give you a false reading on what the cards will sell for PSA graded, causing you to either overpay or think the card is WAY overpriced.

    Don't get me wrong, I think $80 for a PSA 9 Munchak is way overpriced and would never even pay $40 for a PSA 9 Munchak. Also think that $475 for a PSA 10 Moon is a descent deal.

    My only point was that it is not a common card. I would venture to say you could probably get only $10-$20 for PSA 9 1985 Commons. His cards will go higher because he is a Hall of Famer, and at this point, the POP on ANY of his cards is still low. I would think around $30-$35 is the right price for a PSA 9 Munchak. The PSA 9 Moons' are fairly undervalued at $50, but I think that has alot to do with the high POP and also the fact that some consider his CFL card his TRUE rookie. Once Moon gets in the Hall, I would think that $65-$70 will be the base price for a PSA 9 Moon.

    I agree.

    A 1984 Bradshaw went for $149.95 a few weeks ago!

    150 BUCKS FOR A 1984 BRADSHAW???? you can get a marino or elway rook for that. the only reason its 1/3 is cause im sure very few have been graded. i feel sorry for the buyer on this one

    by the way 4 sharp corners has a great idea with getting the mid 80's football graded. theyre making a killing
