Oates is a tough find, only 3 9s in 3 years:
10/12/08 eBay $26.03
10/27/07 eBay $53.78
5/30/07 eBay $9.28

Monday should be a relatively easy find:
11/23/09 eBay Auction $12.63
3/13/09 eBay $8.50
6/11/08 eBay $7.00
5/19/08 eBay $6.05
3/27/08 eBay $2.75
3/2/08 eBay $9.50
2/9/08 eBay $22.72
1/9/08 eBay $6.50

Steve, thanks for the prices - that's very helpful as I try to guage what is a 'fair' price for either. Having said that, since I started this project, I still haven't run across either a Monday or an Oates in 9. In that time, plenty of Lopes' have shown up, and a couple of Forsters made themselves know through the BST - none on eBay, though.

TNP777 · June 6, 2010 4:58PM

Just crossed Rick Monday off the list, which leaves only Mr. Oates. Me love you long time if you can help out!

And the center raw one will only cost you 400.00!! Wadda deal!

TNP777 · June 12, 2010 4:09AM

bbg, if the Oates in the center comes back a 9, and if you'll price it reasonably (VCP average), then I'll be interested. If you're going to price it in the same stratosphere that you did the Lopes/Forster then don't bother contacting me.

so I'm guessing the Oates came back an 8. $75, huh? mmmmk

well, I'm still on the hunt for the Oates in a 9. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

thunderdan · September 8, 2010 2:09PM

no worries, geordie. His current PSA 9 Oates has the shizziest centering I've ever seen on a 1978 PSA 9.

Let him/her hold on it for like 2-20 years.

$100...nothing like trying to help out a board member....bbg will be the first person I call if I ever need a kidney.

TNP777 · October 17, 2010 5:13AM

I'm still looking for an Oates 9

bbg is still looking for a c-note

imma be pissed if he sees the c-note before I see my 9

TNP777 · October 24, 2010 5:36AM

WalterSobchak · October 24, 2010 7:11AM

He wants $100 for an EIGHT?

TNP777 · October 24, 2010 8:59AM

yup. If only I had hit the BIN when it was first put up - I could have gotten for $75. No takers at that price? Let's bump it a quarter.

calaban7 · October 24, 2010 10:50AM

Ask Czar about BBG.

bigred1 · October 24, 2010 11:55AM

I think everyone working on set already has.

BugOnTheRug · October 25, 2010 2:16AM

I take it bbg doesn't have a degree in business. Or marketing. Or...

damn!

WalterSobchak · November 8, 2010 8:44AM

That one looks like a nice 9, at least. Good luck Geordie!

TNP777 · November 11, 2010 8:21AM

well, missed out on that one - the soich continues

I do know this: $89 for a 9 means that the 8 that's up is certainly worth the extra $11.

bigred1 · November 12, 2010 5:34AM

Sorry you didnt get it, placed one bid, left it alone when I remembered this thread.

TNP777 · November 12, 2010 1:31PM

bigred, that's appreciated, but certainly not necessary. If/when another pops up, if you need it let me know and I'll step out of the way.

bigred1 · November 12, 2010 7:52PM

Appreciate that, down to about 50 to finish set and it is one of them, will let you know, hoping one drops into me lap.

Tim

WalterSobchak · November 13, 2010 3:45AM

I don't have a graded '78 Oates yet, and the raw one I have in my set isn't worth sending in. I'm thinking when the time comes to get a graded one, I'm going to go ahead and settle for an 8.

Edited to add: Oh sh*t, an 8 is even more expensive!!!!

TNP777 · November 20, 2010 1:15AM

it's hard to fault the logic

WalterSobchak · November 20, 2010 1:27AM

I have no way of knowing for sure, but I get the distinct impression that bbg may be taunting you.

BBG is fluffin' with you. He was the high bidder on the 4SC, PSA 9 Oates that sold on Nov 11th.

Thank you for an easy, pleasant transaction. Excellent buyer. A++++++ Member id 4_sharp_corners ( Feedback Score Of 60944) Nov-17-10 13:44

1978 Oates PSA 9 AKA item #110607489664

He is running up the bids on you on purpose. With all the good guys on these boards an idiot like this stands out like a sore thumb. If it were me or many countless others here it would have been your's for VCP average, if not as your secret santa gift, or just anonymously sent to your addie.

Come on Bubble bath idiot, step up to the plate and sell the card for a fair price to a collector who is looking for it, remember Karma is a B.... I'd hate to see someone run up a bunch of 78's that you need.

thunderdan · November 20, 2010 5:39AM

What's nice is that 4SC was the seller. Based 4SC's past saturating the market with like cards in like grades, there's a decent chance more 9s of this card surfaces again soon in a 9. When this happens, this sh#tsack will be taking a bath on this card.

gameusedhoop · November 20, 2010 6:42AM

It'll be nice when TNP gets his and the bottom falls out of the market. BBG will have a stack of $30 cards, with value dropping as he sells each one. Good plan.

I know that BBG is probably in the market for RBD's LeMaster, good luck winning that one.

WalterSobchak · November 20, 2010 8:05AM

<< When this happens, this sh#tsack will be taking a bath on this card. >>

No pun intended?

yankeeno7 · November 20, 2010 8:55AM

Some may say it's "free market" and to buy low, sell high....but in this case, its a douchebag move by bbg. Hang in there Geordie, Im sure one will come along at a fair price and bbg will end up losing money for being that db.

thunderdan · November 20, 2010 9:52AM

<<

Yes, pun intended. And I left out the bubble part because his bath will be a fetid cesspool of his own body oils and juices.

TNP777 · November 25, 2010 7:32AM

as Kramer once said, taking a bath is like stewing in a tepid pool of your own filth

yep

still need that Oates

hooray for tryptophan
