"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

Seems to be a bit steep given his place in history.

True, but 4 guys were willing to go over $4700 which is unreal.

Testosterone will do that for you. Have to admit, I got caught up doing that one time and wounded up overpaying for a card. Wasn't thinking at the time. I'd imagine the winner work in the morning and said "What the hell did I just do?".
FWIW RBDJR was selling his OPC 9 for under a grand last nite with the BIN.

Is he selling off his 1976 set now? No wonder he hasn't been bidding on any of my PSA 10 1/1's from this year.

This is almost certainly true. But the problem you run into is trying to unload all the 9's that didn't get a bump.
This kind of play works much better with a heavily traded card for that one reason. A few years ago you could blindly resubmit cards like the 1990 Leaf Sosa or the 1986 FU Bonds and expect to do just fine, and you didn't have to worry about how to get rid of the 50 or so cards that stayed the same grade. But I can't imagine the effort and time you would have to put into slowly unloading 20 Eck RC's.

Agreed with this one completely. I think last weeks Mastro auction with some of Fritsch's inventory was just a test, and it seemed to do quite well. I certainly wouldn't want to bank on any "low pops" from the '60s or 70's with all that fresh vending entering the market. Even if 95% is O/C there will still be enough to satisfy demand.

Anthony: I think you hit the nail on the head here. Even if you can just say something ridiculously low, like 5% of the cards have a shot for PSA 8 or higher, that is still 600 PSA 8s or higher for every vending case he has. I think the Fritsch factor, combined with recent experience seen of depressed prices on 1970s baseball sets all have indicators that supply is outdistancing demand at least for the next few years....
