Looks like a bargain at that price if it is a Pop 1. The last time I watched some of these they ended in the $1400 range.

I doubt this ends at $800 as there were a handfull of serious collectors of these trying to have the best set.

The Set Registry is a hellova drug!

Who?

Without grading, we'll call that a 10 cent card (at best).

Graded, the price jumps by 8,000% (if my math is right). Insane!

and an expensive drug at that!

That's insane

hmm.

i think a '78 McCovey PSA 10 1/1 went for over $1,300, so $800 for Rob Belloir seems logical if you consider that he hit around 500 less homers than Willie.

The bid is probably from Rob's mom.

He sucked then. So the buyer is definitely not buying it for the player. That is one expensive PSA label.

There was a great post on another board from a guy discussing a collecting epiphany that he had. He was trying to put together all the refractors from a particular year and issue (2009 Finest, or something like that) of one of his favorite players, and after a few months he had them all- the /500, the /250, /100, /25, /5, etc. He laid them all out on the table, and as he looked at them he thought to himself "Wow, this is really f*****g stupid".

The same thing is going to happen to these registry zombies in about five years or so. They'll look at cards like this, then remember the '75 Mini dust-up, and think to themselves "Wait- I spent how much money on this card? And worse yet, I bought it from that seller? Man- that was really, really f******g stupid".

If you look at it that way, collecting any pictures of other men and spending big money for them is pretty stupid. But is a hobby that I and alot of other people enjoy.
