I agree 100%!

That statement has a very realistic chance of being true.
reserve NOT MET? "$18,533.00 delivered..... no thanks. I'll wait for someone to make a good offer!"

Exactly.
The seller is an idiot if he doesn't take that 18k right now. The bigger idiots, though, are the ones that are willing to pay that.

I bet this card goes for at least 25k. 5 days to go he doesn't need to lower the reserve. If Lin has a big night expect the card to jump over 20 real quick...
Linsanity is right!

Now, if you worked for ESPN, you would be fired for that statement! LOL

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
<< <i>If Lin continues his positive slope of production I'd say it caps at 25k. If he stalls, and if NY loses ... 20k. >>
I see what you did there.
I wonder what the seller's reserve is. Five days to go, and if the Knicks hold off the defending champs I'd say the price will continue to rise. I'm actually enjoying Lin - he's a refreshing face, and the NBA is much more watchable when the Knicks are relevant.
edit: Doug beat me to it. I took too long trying to add to the conversation at hand.

8 assists
4 turnovers
Through 3 quarters. That's NBA super star numbers!

I can remember in 98/99 when Peyton Manning PSA 10/BGS 9.5 SP Authentic rookies were selling for 10k. Then they fell to about 2500 for a year or two and then of course dropped even more over the years.
I think we can all agree he has had a great HOF career.
Always sell while the iron is hot in America when it comes to sportscards.
It's great to see how well he is doing but his card does not deserve that kind of money.

Like Ichiro, Lin will benefit from people outside the US also wanting examples of his cards but unless he carries the Knicks to a championship this year, I do not see his cards holding thier value in the long run. I say sell now, take the money and run.
They call me "Pack the Ripper"
He's hot as hell right now? And I mean no disrespect - but for how long?
What I can do with 20K is scary - one card? Wow!

This guy is clearly making an exciting run and his short run stats are great but when there is this much profit on the table sellers will overwhelm buyers very soon and drive prices down tremendously.
You have to love capitalism because theoretically moments like this exist where greed over takes all thinking and someone could make a killing. A few will do very well on this insane move higher in his cards if they hit the sell button.
I personally would sell any item you can as fast as you can regardless of his long run success.
Call the seller whatever you want, but he had the foresight to buy the card for a grand and spend the most money possible on grading to get it back asap so he could list it on ebay before Lin came back to earth. How many of you guys would've done that given the opportunity? How many of you would've turned around and taken the first $5k offer and left $14k+ on the table? Now he's got $19k+ in his hand and could conceivably get more. This seller knows what he's doing.
And for what it's worth, Lin has game and will be at the very least a solid NBA starter (assuming no major injuries) and probably a leading all star vote getter every year that he plays. You don't accidentally put up 22 pts and 8 assists a game for a 2 week stretch when the spotlight of the world is on you. This is not a flash-in-the-pan type situation, and there's zero chance this card will ever be worth $5.

$88,000+??? lol Some people are just morons. It would be funny if this passes and they lose out big for being greedy.

NYC + national exposure (worldwide) + potential pool of Asian fans = a lot of potential buyers. The indianapolis colts, or say the raptors for vince carter, not the same thing.
His turnovers have been crazy, but how many other point guards have ever averaged 22 points, 8 assists their first two weeks starting? He's shown an awful lot of clutch ability for a flash in the pan. I don't think Nash or Jason Kidd were hitting 3's like this at the buzzer.
The prices are crazy. His knicks debut jersey sold for $40 k? Can't you buy a Jordan jersey for that? I wouldn't be suprised if one of his jerseys top $100 k, like his palo alto or harvard. There's so much $$$ in NYC.

Panini America posted an article on their blog where they took a basket of Lin's cards and analyzed the price change between January and February 15th, and the basket rose from $78.98 to $6,405.77--an increase of around 8,100%. Blog Entry
I only had one Lin common rookie, and I listed that on Feb. 11th hoping to sell it before he tanked, and it sold within a few hours for $29.95--when the day before only a few cracked $20. Yesterday, someone pulled a Lin autograph in my store and wanted me to sell it for them. The same card had sold around $220-$240 the day before, and this one came out of the pack with a small ding, so I listed it at $274.95. Within a few hours, someone bought and paid for it at the full asking price.
I only wish I had more
I just checked past sales and instead of starting with highest prices started with lowest price. OUCH!!! There are a good number of transactions from a month ago with similar prices to the blog entry.
These meteoric increases all end the same way. If you bought a stock and somehow it managed to zoom from $3 to $400 in a month there comes a point where the profit is too great and the sellers line up. Once the prices start dropping there is very little you can do to stop them from falling.
This guys cards are clearly not going back to where they came from anytime soon but very soon these laughable prices will correct 50% to 70% at least which would still be dramatically higher then there where they came from.
After looking further at the recent sales I just noticed something that will prove to be a problem very soon. There are a lot of transactions from a week or so ago at the much lower prices. Many of those same cards will certainly come for sale. The problem is many of the buyers will most likely not receive the cards and will have them listed anyway and then not be able to deliver them at these inflated prices. They are essentially short the card and simply hoping the second they receive it they can flip it for the profit. This is going to be a problem for a lot of these transactions for sure and this is how a market peaks.

David, this is EXACTLY the climate for prospectors and scammers to come out and make a quick buck (but potentially lose as well). From shorting, to schilling, to not completing transactions, anyone in the market for a Lin card needs to be careful.
