Strength of the Card Market - 1972 Graded FB Set

Several posts have puzzled me lately. I don't like Best offer or BIN. However, seems that my bidding has not bee fruitful lately. Missed a deal I want back because I nickled and dimed somebody. However, recently someone sold an entire 1972 FB graded set on Ebay. Total value without shipping was $15,902. Think that is pretty much fair value or down. This would rank in the top 5 all time. so here are the results.

Consists of 23 PSA 10's - 249 PSA 9's - two PSA 8.5's - 77 PSA 8's.

Dont remember the last graded 72 set that sold, but this seems like a pretty good price. 45 per card. Populations should go up over time. My favorite set. I picked up one horribly off center card Joe Jones PSA 8 #46 for 10.77 and one of the 8.5's number 73 Herb Allison for 14.27. And a card i did not need as I already had it in PSA 8 257 Don Horn IA for 4.29. The 10's seemed to sell well as did the high class 9's

Share your thoughts on the card market. I too agree things should be cheaper given the economy. While the stimulus has kept us out of depression, and QE2 has made equities somewhat more attractive. This sale just shows that the economy is better than we probably perceive - or that those who collect still have disposable income. I am spending on cards lately so I either feel better about something or I am just fighting boredom

  • From my observation, the card market is generally weaker, but there are still pockets of strength for scarce, high quality cards. There are still plenty of people with a lot of disposable income who are putting $$$$ into cards. However, the low end is generally weakening as there is a lot more bargain hunting, and it is a buyers' market there. This is probably borne out by what you say in this auction for the 10's and 9's.

    Why did you buy a horribly off centered 8? On the card market for 1972 football.....there's a ton of high end stuff out there raw. I saw some 2 weeks ago and passed on it.
  • Joe Jones notoriously off centered that is one of the better ones I have seen. I am trying to put an 8 set together in 1972 ranked 22 or 23rd now. Clint Jones and Joe Jones way off centered usually yes pretty off center but one of the better ones that I have seen. I will be looking at my raws as I thought the prices for this sale were pretty good. Think it is probably cheaper for me to submit. I have three sets of the first 2 series and one complete third series. Just like the set as it was the first one I ever collected

    Commentary was on strength of the sale. If you have raw high quality cards that you will grade 8 you would like to sell me cheap please let me know.

    Regards
