How is a pack worth negative dollars?

Here is an auction that just ended with a 1987 Donruss rackpack WITH BARRY BONDS RC ON TOP.

It ended for $6.56 and is encased in a GAI 8.5 holder.

Sending a rackpack into GAI probably costs at least $25, I am no math major, but that's no so good!

1987 Donruss rackpack Bonds RC on top GAI 8.5 sold for $6.50

    That card was more relevant several years ago when it was slabbed.

    Certainly true Allen, amazing how steroids took Bonds and Clemens value down 70%.

    Amazing how steroids made their value rise to start with. What goes around, comes around.

    Tho I'm guessing your query was rhetorical Mugsy - it still can evoke a little emotion even today.

    Anything I say is gonna sound trite - so I'll just leave it at OVER-production and STEROIDS.

    I havent been following modern cards very much but was wondering how has the steroids affected A-ROD's rookie?

    It is a buyers market right now. Not as many auctions starting at $.99 on better cards. That $300 card a year ago is now selling for $150.

    At least with the items I keep track of.

    Oh yea, 87 Topps was plenty.

    I like the "There's Hope" in the Title.

    If the all time HR leader can drop like that what does that say about the investment potential of someone like Pujols?image

    I love 87 Donruss, but I wouldn't pay $6.56 for a GAI 8.5 graded rack pack regardless of who's on it.
