Agreed. I maintain inventory/values with 2 different VCP accounts, one for vintage, one for post-73. For the post-73,
the total "Last Price Realized" values are 14% higher than the "Average" values. I don't know the VCP algorithm, but at some point, based on
how often auctions/BINs happen, the Average becomes the Last Price Realized.
Good examples of '87 Maddux Tiffany PSA 10 went for $235 and it's previous average was about $95. Another RC that is up for auction now
is the '92 fleer update Piazza. I also expect that to blow away the average. Even though POP is high, they just aren't coming up for auction much.
I started collecting more from '70's and '80's as '50's/'60's prices increased. Just like back in the dating days (30 years ago), QUANTITY = QUALITY
<< <i>Hobby in my opinion is really strong. I have been tracking multiple Post War HOF RC's and am really surprised at the $$$$ they are bringing. >>
But didn't you see that CBS special? The hobby is on the brink of collapse because a small show of sellers selling mostly commons in NJ has bad turnout and Mr. Mint doesn't get as many thefts of collections due to the internet.
Looks like it's a supply-demand issue with the Jordan. You don't see as many on ebay compared to before when it was flooded with 9's every week. Perhaps everyone is holding it in their personal collection. But it does seem like the recent prices have brought out some more sellers as I'm seeing more posted currently than I have in a long time.
Question, how's the centering on the higher end 9's?
that card is tough to find centered in a 9
WTB: PSA 1 - PSA 3 Centered, High Eye Appeal 1950's Mantle
EBAY used to be flooded with awesome auctions, vintage and modern. Granted the auction fee "mug'ing" hurt, but where did all the auctions go ? There are just some cards I CAN NOT FIND.
Everyone can't just be sitting on entire inventory
No sh$t !! These are all fairly high pop cards, but VCP history really does not help
Tonight's Sandberg Auction blew away VCP and had 3, not 2 bidders at the end; last Month '87 TIffany Maddux almost tripled the VCP average
1983 Topps Sandberg PSA 10
Watching the following to observe RC prices
My Guess $115 '87 Topps Tiffany Larkin PSA 10
$195 1992 Fleer Update Piazza PSA 10
If you think card prices are constantly within a range then perhaps it works but that is it.
Many card prices are on the move and I would suggest throwing that old data out the window. It may keep you from winning a card you really want.
People in general are investing their money in hard assets. Cards are just that. You are going to keep seeing record prices on many items this year.
100% Correct. There was a thread earlier today about "do you care what card values are ?" Yes, I do.
I am a collector, but also view the collection as an alternative investment vehicle. I buy individual stocks, bonds, ETFs, gold, and baseball cards.
Out of the 5, cards and gold have provided the greatest ROI
I would not have kept pumping money into them if it was only for fun and I saw no upside.
When I got started it was only about collecting the cards but there came a point in time where I needed to feel good about continuing to invest money and time into them.
I view them as a hard asset and feel all cards fall into this category.
Take the Honus Wagner. The current auction shows a great history for the past 10 years on the card. It is up over 800% while the stock market is essentially flat.
I think many cards are a great investment just like rare art, coins, wine, metals etc. With cash rates at zero this is the number one driver of prices in the card market. The opportunity cost of holding cash vs. variable assets is very low and the best part is they can't go to zero.
It only takes a few people to want something if the supply is low for the prices to expand. The number of buyers for cards is growing and I think you are going to continue to see strong demand for many of them.
I hope to be in the market within the next 12 months to take the leap and buy a PSA 10 Jordan rookie. When I was in Chicago for the Sun Times Show last month, a dealer had one... and here is what blew my mind...
He had a PSA 10 Jordan RC and a BGS 9.5 Jordan RC...
He wanted $4700 on the BGS 9.5... but $8200 on the PSA 10!
Granted, I didn't check the sub grades on the BGS 9.5 for a potential cross-over. I was simply too fixated on the PSA 10. I know BBCE sold one not too long ago... $6500 or $7500, it was one of those 2 numbers, but I can't recall for certain.
I'm 4 cards shy of a perfect PSA 10 Michael Jordan Basic Set... and of course, the RC is my white whale.
One of these days... yes, sir... one of these days!
-87 Classic Bo Jackson PSA 10 sold for I think $950.
-What's the story on the 83 Topps Traded Darryl Strawberry? A $180 card in PSA 10.
-1984 Fleer Update Gooden PSA 10, almost $400...$360, 390.
-1988 Topps Traded Mark Grace PSA 10, $47? I wonder how much a tiffany 10 would sell for.
Tiffany's are doing very well, all years
J/K........love to see this card going up, it's great for the hobby - biggest card of the 80's by far.
