Has anyone elso noticed the incredible prices PSA 10 Jeter cards from the late 90's have been bringing? I'm seeing $400 - $500 for cards that simply boggle the mind. Am I missing something???

    His prices are insane due to the fact the he is the epitome of what a Major League Baseball Player should be and forever want to be. He's in a class all by himself. 150% all the time everytime regardless of the situation. A total class act and that makes his stuff very desirable. And he does it all while playing for the Yankees.

    Just look at completed items for Jeter PSA 10. Examples are 1997 Topps Chrome $511, 1996 Upper Deck $407. I mean come on. I know he's great but still........

    That is absolutely insane. Those two guys are killing each other. Lot's of cards ended at reasonable prices. I'd chalk this up to a pissing match between those 2.

    Agreed, but I noticed that in general his prices have been creeping up since midyear.

    His cards are doing exactly what I laugh about when working on my Mattingly master set.

    A PSA 10 card shows up...the first to be graded...there are 2 or 3 guys that HAVE to be the first to own it so they pay insane prices for bragging rights.

    For example, a card that sells for $200 to one of those 2 or 3 guys shows up 5 more times within a couple of months. The first spends insanely, the second almost equally...wait another month or two and the same card can be had for $20 when the 2 or 3 " have to have first " guys are out of the running.

    You can't actually give 150%. It's mathematically impossible. The most you can give is 110%.

    LOL Reminds me of a old boss I had. She would say Lets give 150% and my sarcastic ways would kick in- slacker, why not 200% or 210% since were talking crazy.
