1993 Derek Jeter PSA 10 on EBAY

Derek Jeter Rookie PSA 10



I have had this on my watch list for probably two months and we discussed this card early on once it was listed. It looks like it finally sold and it went out at $19,999.


If this indeed did sell, the seller did a great job of holding out for the price they wanted. It had 49 offers last I had checked.


If anyone has any info to add please do.

Comments

  • I sure hope the buyer is only buying it for his immediate gratification...if he is planning on having his grandkids reap any monetary benefits from that card, ouch.

    Are you sure about that five minutes!?
  • Congrats to the seller.

    How much do you want to make a wager that the card shows up again? I cannot remotely imagine the card selling for even half of that amount...

    Good for you.

    I think it is really cool that a card from 1993 could have been pulled out of a pack, sent in for grading and yields 20 grand.

    This is what keeps people interested in the hobby and buying new product.


    The seller should be applauded for holding firm on a rare item with so much interest.

  • otwcardsotwcards Posts: 5,291 ✭✭✭
    Do you really think he got $20K for that? My guess it is akin to the ploy that some of the auction houses use by setting/raising the bar with a "reported" sale that never happens to justify a higher price (albeit significantly less than the "reported" price) somewhere down the line. Watch and you'll see that certification number back up on eBay or at an auction house in the near future and the realized price will be less than half of the recent "sale" price.

    DPeck:

    You may think I'm an idiot, but I like to think I have a pretty good idea of what is going on in certain aspects of the marketplace and when someone is out of line on a price and/or is manipulating a price point for future gain. With regard to the Jeter SP, I'm pretty confident that I know what's going on.

    As I said when there was a lot of chatter about another PSA 10 up for sale, it was bogus and it turned out to be so. It was a card that I owned and had sold to another individual who was buying for the largest Modern RC Card collector in the hobby. The "seller" used an old image, not realizing who now owned the card or that the flip had been changed to reflect the current owner's collection.

    Hey, I could be wrong and someone may have executed the BIN. But, in my opinion, there's a greater chance of the Super Bowl ending 2-0 than there is of that card having sold at that price. Let's wait and see (and keep an eye on the feedback)...

    My gut tells me they are inflating the price like others have said -- but never know -- someone with big pockets could have picked it up.

    Scott you clearly know sports cards.


    I just posted this as it caught my eye and I thought it was worth a mention.


    All of the games that go on you could be very well right.

    << <i>over rated

    For a "3rd rate over rated SS" he has more hits as a SS then any other MLB SS of all time.



    << <i>I wonder if Twiley bought it? >>



    No. I didn't pull the trigger on it.

    I highly doubt someone spent 20K. IMO the seller had another account or a friend buy the card. I bet the transaction is canceled as well so no fees for the seller. As Scott mentioned I believe it is a ploy to try and raise the price on what is a 4K-5K card. I am willing to bet the card resurfaces somewhere else 4 sale and a link to that ebay sale saying it sold for 20K to try and get someone to spend even more on it.

    My first thought when seeing that final price. I don't think this card is going to any buyer, it's all a setup for the next time it's sold of which probably will be soon I'm sure.

    Thanks. I know very well the small segment of cards that I know. And I know when to defer to others on things that I don't know well enough. As I've said for eons, I wish others would follow the same modus operandi. The forums would be so much better without all of the conjecture, stabs in the dark and misinformation.

    I'm not suggesting that that was your intent, but knowledge in this hobby is critical to avoiding financial pitfalls (and even then it isn't a guaranty) and making assumptions based upon what things appear on the surface is oft times dangerous. Perhaps I'm more skeptical than most, but being cautious and still having money in my pocket is more beneficial than being careless and losing it. As I say when I play poker, it is better to fold a winning hand than to overplay a losing hand.

    After seeing what people spent on Strasburg cards, is it really that shocking to see someone spend that much on a rookie card of a player that will be considered ONE OF the all-time best Yankees? Especially on a card that virtually impossible to find without chipping on the edges. With population numbers like that, I can see it pulling down PSA 10 prices similar to the 1980 Henderson RC (Pop 10 out of 10,450), or the 1978 #400 Nolan Ryan (the impossible 10).

    Twiley

    My comment was dripping in sarcasm.


    Ok 2nd rate, better?


    Steve
    Good for you.
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Jeff,

    I was thinking the same thing. I see these refractor cards sell for prices that are simply insane and this guy is a proven winner and it is a card that is just not out there.


    I by no means know what the price of this card should be but one thing I do know is it is not going cheap what ever that price may be.


  • lol third rate SS indeed (at least defensively!)
    whats a nice 9 or 8 go for?
    stupid money paid; wonder how much he REALLY got for the card, if he sold it at all.
  • Ouch, that's a nutty price. There are some crazy prices paid for modern these days. I'd take the 20K and get every Yankee RC

    I would not have listed/sold that card under a store account (where the $50 fvf limit does not apply).
  • only an idiot would pay 20k for a 90's card.

    I believe that sale would generate $400 in ebay bucks.
  • Card did not sell same selller has same card back up for 24999
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Scott was right!


    I am not certain what the point of this is. Why on earth would you end an auction as a sale and relist the next day. Anyone could easily search the recent listings and see the exact same card ended yesterday.

    A buyer who can afford a $20,000 sports card is a little smarter then most. This is simply stupid and will kill this sellers chances I think at moving this card.

    Hey I think it is great that someone on here nailed this!


    So give an estimate at what this card could sell for.

  • Card is back on ebay - same card, same seller now with a buy int now of 25K

  • otwcardsotwcards Posts: 5,291 ✭✭✭
    I've done that in the past. In my opinion, the card is realistically a $5000-6500 item. In an extreme case, I could see a buyer maxing at around $7500. If anyone else wants to offer their estimates, please feel free...

    Personally, I felt the value was near the peak when I sold mine, especially considering I have a few PSA 9's that looks as nice or nicer than the PSA 10 I sold but at less than 10% of the price, I like the risk/reward factor going forward.

    I wouldn't pay 1000.00 for it and I'm a fan of his.

    Unless of course I had some dope who would give me 5k or whatever the experts think it's 'worth' than I'd pay the grand.

    It's something I can live without though.

    To each their own.

    Ok, back to the earlier auction, buyer reneged? BS seller? What's the consensus here?





    Good for you.
  • someone should send him an email with an offer of $2,500.

    Won't touch that with a 10 ft. pole Steve - but there is a back scan - scroll down.

    Boy - what I could do with 20K!!!!

    My son pulled a Jeter from a pack back in '93 - I still have it - and I would grade it - at best - a 7.

    The quality on those cards was poor IMO - tho the set was popular.

    So, if someone has a true 10? It would be very rare - I would guess one could open a full case and not come up with 1 good Jeter?

    Good eye Mike, I only saw the pic at the top.

    I figured the rest was BS and the old God Bless 96 times!

    Good for you.

    About September of 93 I walk into a local cardshop looking for a Johnny Damon
    because my friend told me he was a stud. I ask if had any. He opens his box and no
    Damons but he says I have 7 of this guy Jeter and I said not interestedimage
    This is the reason I am in the poor house and others are making 5000 grand on a card lol.
