So Much For Modern Card Pricing

When I uploaded my comments about pre-scanning for grades (sorry for that) I used an example of a 1981 Fleer Harold Baines PSA 8 card. At that time, I think the price was about $180.00, which I thought was ridiculous based on the fact that there are many in boxes and packs and vending boxes. According to PSA, it has a value of $175.00 in PSA 10.

Anyways, I went back to look at the auction and look at this.

    Yes, but it's Harold Baines. I know he is really good because the Rangers traded Sammy Sosa for him.

    is that the new security feature on that holder?

  • There were only two bidders above $100. Also, that's a really, really big afro on Baines, which should rightfully command a really, really big price tag.

    Seriously, that's a lot of coin for a modern card. Also, the top-to-bottom centering doesn't look perfect - I like my PSA 10s to be 50/50.
