This card's BV is listed in Beckett as $12

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1821132511

Can somebody explain to me why the Ebay bid is so high on it?

    first rule of etopps: forget beckett

    second rule of etopps: forget common sense


    Listen, etopps is on fire now, they have spent some serious jack on advertisment and now it seems like eveyone wants these cards
    and are willling for pay big for them. Edgardo Alfonzo's card, which originally cost 6.50 and which there are only two hundred and some of is over a
    hundred dollars now There are just a lot of people buying etopps who don't know squat about cards and that is driving prices! If anyone is
    interested in this program and picking up cards for investment leave me your email address and I will hook you up with etopps and get you
    on the buy list.

    I bought 2 eTopps cards at IPO: 2002 Ichiro and Toby Hall. Just ordered Mo Vaughn, Tim Hudson, and Brian Giles. Paid $9.50 for the Ichiro and it's up to $14.50. They are hot because you can't get them anywhere else but eTopps IPO (for 1 week only) or Ebay.

    << <i>I would be interested in more info.. email me @ euphoria18_79@hotmail.com >>



    Check out their website: www.etopps.com
    eTopps cards can be cashed in like stock for the actual cards. It's like a stock market. You buy cards with your credit card and only a certain amount produced. Some sell out, some don't. The only price guide for eTopps cards is Ebay. Prices flucturate by the ending auction. Beckett makes monthly price guides, not hourly, so Beckett can't keep up. My Ichiro went from $12.55 to $14.50 in 1 hour. Card prices can go up and down. I think eTopps was a great idea. Something Beckett can't manipulate and prices are based on actual BUY prices, so you can get Book Value cash for them. You just have to know when to sell.

    That's because the cards are only available for 1 week. After that, you can't get them anymore at IPO. You have to buy them from Ebay like everyone else.

    THIS IS FREAKIN' AWESOME! I just ordered a Brian Giles although I have no clue about baseball. Was this a good move and is he doing well this season??
    All I know is that I saw an Alfonzo one that started out for $6 sell for $250!

    The key is to buy someone you think everyone else will pass over. The rarer they are, the more they will sell for. If they produce 5,000 of a particular card and only 1,000 cards are sold during IPO week, then it will be sold nicely.
