    That was unbelievable. A couple of people really wanted that card bad. A seller's dream. image

    Someone's going to wake up tomorrow and realize they dropped over $600 for a Vance Law card. It's worse than a hangover.

    Even more remarkable is that three bidders were willing to pay at least $450 for the card!

    Just a guess. Maybe the card went to this set...

    The power of the registry still amazes me to this day. I try my hardest not to be slipping into it's trance...image

    Obviously more $$$ than brains! Was Charlie Sheen the buyer?? Good luck flippin' for profit! Even if retired in a set, like that will get $687.00 in ten years?? I think not . . .

    I just cant imagine putting that kind of money into a modern set. There is tons of it out there. Things that make you go hmmmmm.

    I agree it's easily the best regular set of the 80s in terms of lower production, star power and aesthetics........ But, there is just soooooo much left out there unopened. I would say there are at least a thousand unopened cases worth in racks, wax and factory sets. Seriously, buy a factory set for $150, open it and send in the best 300. I'll bet at least 30 PSA 10's come back..... Heaven forbid one should be a lowpop!

    A few months back I saw some PSA 10's from this set bringing close to $100 for commons. I went through my factory set to see how my cards looked. The centering on so many is off. I am not sugesting there is not a large number of unfound 10's but it is really hard to find one with centering that would be good enough to achieve that grade and I am sure there are certain cards that come out of the wrapper nearly the same everytime.

    I guess that's what happens when someone is trying to complete a set in PSA 10.

    I don't know if Vance Law made that much during his career.
  • thunderdanthunderdan Posts: 3,036 ✭✭✭
    Those are some sweet ass glasses on Vance. The only thing he's missing is a pocket protector and an HP 17BII.

    If you look at the sellers feedback there are a few other low pop cards that went for big bucks too. Pretty wild stuff!
  • CDsNutsCDsNuts Posts: 10,092 ✭
    That's actually a drop in price. Low pop 84 Donruss used to bring $1200-$1800 from the top registry guys as early as a year ago.
  • CDsNutsCDsNuts Posts: 10,092 ✭
    Searching on Terapeak over the past 90 days there have been 13 PSA 10 84 Donruss commons that have sold for $400 or more with the top selling for $800. That's only in 3 months of sales, so about 4 per month. It's not as uncommon as you guys think for these cards to bring big money.
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I think it is really cool to see people put a lot of money behind this set. There are not many sports cards from the 80's that can say the same thing.

    This is a really nice looking set and would require a ton of effort to put together this many cards all in PSA 10.

  • WalterSobchakWalterSobchak Posts: 2,096
    I guess the blanket statement "all 80's cards are worthless" is not entirely accurate.

    The biggest surprise to me is that a POP 6 would go for that much!!! I'll compare it to '78 Topps, which is the market I'm most familiar with. A POP 6 PSA 10 '78 Topps common will typically go for $30-$50. Is '84 Donruss THAT much harder to find in gem mint condition? Or is the set that much more popular?

    Yes. At least among registry guys with deep pockets it is.
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I have been searching on EBAY for other 80's baseball sets and this one clearly takes the cake. I would think factory sets and wax would be going for more if you can pull a card that is a less then a buck that could sell for $700 in Gem Mint.

    Who would have thought when you open a pack you are hoping to pull nice commons over a Don Mattingly or Cal Ripken.

    Are you aware of any other sets from the 80's with big time registry demand from any sport?
