Ebay 1984 Tiffany Mattingly PSA 10

For the record I am not selling this card. Just pointing it out.

    Anyone want to take a stab at what it will sell for?

    I am guessing 7-10 K

    I'm thinking $1,500-$2,000.

    Maybe $850, but no more!!

    I just bid $500 and was 'outbid'. Someone else put $500 on it too.

    My guess is that it'll end up around $750-800.

    Well, I guess for non-standard issue cards it may be, but I think most people think of this as not only the best regular-issue Mattingly Rook, but also the best card of the 80's:

    Granted, the Topps Tiffany most likely has a shorter print run, and only 8 of 309 were graded 10's. However, if you're talking about pure rarety of 10's, the OPC issue would match the Tiffany at only 8 of 296 graded 10's. There haven't been any PSA-10 Tiffany's up in the last year but the 9's usually go for $70-$80 and a GAI-10 went for $565 (a little more than the average for a PSA-10 84-Donruss). PSA-10's of the OPC usually go for around $400.

    Anyway, it will be interesting to see what this goes for. I'd probably estimate in the $750-800 range.

    I'm very biased to the '84 Donruss being the 'holy grail', but it's probably the hardest to find and in gem condition.

    I agree,the 84 donruss in 10 would far outweigh the topps tiffany IMO


    This Tiffany though may fetch more ($)
    then what an 84 donruss due to its limited printrun?

    Good for you.

    Well fwiw 1984 Tiffany was the first tiffany set of the tiffany set run. They didn't prefect the glossy finish until 1987 supposedly. I have graded alot of 1984 topps regular issue set cards and finding a 10 in those are a tuff find. I could imagine the 84 tiffany being just as tuff if not tuffer to find in gem mint grade.

    edit for typo...
  • fandangofandango Posts: 2,622 ✭
    its not even close..the donruss mattingly has more significance, recognition, and is simply a top 50 card that changed collecting at the time...

    the topps tiffany was no big deal then, and in my eyes, is secondary (by a long shot) to the importance of the donruss...
  • Ichiro51fanIchiro51fan Posts: 379
    Yeah... definately agree with that... both from an hobby impact and eye-appeal aspect, the 84-D rules for sure. I think if you're strictly talking about rarety... especially in PSA-10... then yeah, both the Tiffany and OPC are much tougher (8 each compared to 47 for the 84-D). But bottom line... both of those issues look nearly exactly like the regular Topps issue. Especially when they are slabbed, there's really very little noticeable difference. Therefore, I'd always have to go with the 84D on eye appeal at the very least.

    Winning bid: US $1,000.00

    I thought this card would have sold for more. Maybe it had to do with the time it ended along with the way it was listed.

    Either way was cool to actually see this card 4 sale I never had seen PSA 10 of this card for sale until this auction...
  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    1000.00? I am surprised it reached that, the 84 Donruss smokes that card for importance.

    Good for you.
