Dmitri Young SCP thread

Tomi · April 30, 2012 10:22AM

I'm sure we will be talking about these PSA 10's for a while since a PSA 10 collection like this will probably never be seen again in one auction. The Clemente rookie is only a day in and already at $126,000. I'm thinking the Aaron rookie will be the most expensive, but the Clemente will probably be very close. Just a little wierd seeing all the 80's and 90's PSA 10's that normaly sell for $10-20 in this auction. Anyone here going after any of the BIG rookies?

Probstein123 · April 30, 2012 10:27AM

I have my eyes on one of them....

thunderdan · April 30, 2012 10:28AM

Yep. A couple of them. Bidding is extremely strong so far...

Rick, good luck on the Clemente.

lifeshouldbefun · April 30, 2012 10:31AM

In on the ------- unless it goes to a stupid number like the Ozzie RC PSA 10. 20K, are you kidding ?

Can't judge how much premium is involved by having the Dmitri Young Collection label ?????????????????????

<< In on the ------- unless it goes to a stupid number like the Ozzie RC PSA 10. 20K, are you kidding ?

WTF? Many of his vintage PSA 10s in low pops will go well above 20K.

JustinsShoebox · April 30, 2012 10:37AM

I've got strong bids on a couple of cards that I am hoping to land.

Competition seems pretty strong early on.

I would say but I dont want to "out" the auction.

firedawg45 · April 30, 2012 11:30AM

im going strong on the rose, chance of a lifetime..

<< im going strong on the rose, chance of a lifetime.. >>

As a recent first time Rose rc. buyer,I say god luck,hope you get it! Im not
much of a baseball collector or watcher hell I dont even have a fav. player but do love the rose rc. for
some reason.

ShootyBabitt · April 30, 2012 11:56AM

I would want that Blyleven if I had unlimited funds. Alas, I will be going for some 80s product instead.

Darin · April 30, 2012 12:01PM

Well, the Bret Saberhagen rookie was touted in the SMR article, so I'll say that one will bring the highest price.

ShootyBabitt · April 30, 2012 12:01PM

I am guessing that after this past weekend's events, this lot will remain at "none":

Lot #497: 2011 DELMON YOUNG AUTOGRAPHED DETROIT TIGERS GAME WORN HOME JERSEY (LOA FROM DMITRI YOUNG)
2011 DELMON YOUNG AUTOGRAPHED DETROIT TIGERS GAME WORN HOME JERSEY (LOA FROM DMITRI YOUNG)
Number Bids: 0
Minimum Bid: $250
Current Bid: None

Stooge · April 30, 2012 12:20PM

I'm looking at a few of them...

Later, Paul.

hammered · April 30, 2012 2:26PM

Love that Brock rookie, an incredible card.
I question why he wasted time with some of those rookies - 77 Joaquin Andujar? 78 Willie Hernandez pop 16?
Those don't seem to fit with the Aarons and Clementes.....

lifeshouldbefun · April 30, 2012 7:55PM

Many will not. Don't assume

MeteoriteGuy · April 30, 2012 8:12PM

<< Well, the Bret Saberhagen rookie was touted in the SMR article, so I'll say that one will bring the highest price.

I would really like that card, although not enough to pay much a premium so I likely won't even try.

PS: Saberhagen should be inducted into the Hall of Fame during odd numbered years only. (Haven't posted that comment in months, it was due.)

miconelegacy · April 30, 2012 9:18PM

This is an Epic auction and we will never see anything like this again. Really incredible cards. I agree that the Clemente and Asron should take the cake. If I had to guess I would think $250,000 plus...

In any case, the real question is how much premium will be put on the cards because of the label?

Gonna be great to watch.

shu4040 · April 30, 2012 11:08PM

how much for the pop 2 Yount and pop 8 Brett?

Same price (Brett much more popular, but Yount a pop 2)

are these $30K cards?

Porkins · May 1, 2012 12:14AM

Anybody besides me wondering why he stayed away from Canseco's?

Yount Mini 12/18/11 Memory Lane Auction | Image 13 $3,607.55

miconelegacy · May 1, 2012 12:56AM

I can see the Yount going for 30k plus. Take into acct the market lately and Dmitri's name on it.

hammered · May 1, 2012 12:56AM

Wonder how much he spent to get this slab personalized?
Wouldn't want his card to be confused with just any Gonzalez rookie...

Last two sold for $1.30

LOL: "One of 1212 perfect GEM MINT PSA 10's."

Who wants to bet this card sells for $40 based on provenance?

lifeshouldbefun · May 1, 2012 1:40AM

I'll take the over

thunderdan · May 1, 2012 1:47AM

Guess I won't be bidding on the Clemente. lol. $126K already without the juice. That baby is gonna fly high. really high.

lifeshouldbefun · May 1, 2012 1:54AM

Best laugh I've had today

I just assume that the pre-1980 RC's will just blow the doors off, but you can see the Dmitri Young label premium built into the cheaper
cards. Look at the '85 Topps Clemens, it's at $165 and it's a fugly 10. VCP is $86.

Maybe I'll settle on the Rick Honeycutt just to win something.

Gonzalez over/under is now $50

EDIT: Spelling

BASEBALLisLIFE · May 1, 2012 2:03AM

Can someone please post a link for these auctions

Thank You

lifeshouldbefun · May 1, 2012 2:16AM

Link

You have to register and provide a CC. Yep, let me put that 200K Clemente on my Amex please.

EDIT: Link Fixed

thunderdan · May 1, 2012 2:22AM

No credit cards accepted as is the rule on ML, REA, and others.

My guess is that Clemente goes for around $500K. I heard that Dmitri paid $120K for the card through private transaction, though somebody correct me if I'm wrong. He'll do extremely well on this card.

Some of his 10s are not the nicest 10s. However, that Clemente is absolutely stunning. What an awesome card!

nightcrawler · May 1, 2012 2:38AM

I honestly thought he was going to lose his shirt auctioning off his collection. Appearently I was mistaken.

BASEBALLisLIFE · May 1, 2012 2:46AM

If I am outbid on the 1954 AARON . . . then somebody paid too much, that's all I'll say.

Cooptown · May 1, 2012 3:16AM

Does anyone know if the heavy hitters of the hobby (Spence, Dmitri, Soloway, Olbermann, etc) read and participate on these boards?

If the really cared, they have the funds to hire a secretary to provide them a daily, or weekly, summarized report without all the CL finds and Bagwell grade guessing garbage.

I would be surprised if he loses money on any of the big ones. '69 Reggie is already over $30K, and I can't imagine he paid more than than originally...same with Killer over $50K, etc.

EDit - just saw he has a PSA 10 Candy man rc...anyone know if Candy still has his collection? It was worth some good coin, right?

BASEBALLisLIFE · May 1, 2012 3:58AM

Can anyone get psa label personalized?

For example can an average collector have "John Smith Collection" put on the label?

mikeschmidt · May 1, 2012 4:48AM

<< im going strong on the rose, chance of a lifetime.. >>

I remember a number of years back when Bob sold it to Dmitri's buyer (Dave)...

sayheykid54 · May 1, 2012 4:59AM

The 1954 Topps Al Kaline PSA 10 card is already over $14,000.

I swear my high-end 8 centered copy looks stunning compared to the Psa 10 up for auction. How did that card get a Psa 10 grade with the overall l/r centering, slight chipping to the green border on the back, and THREE color blemishes on the red backround?

This is a prime example of buying the holder NOT the card.

If I submitted it to Psa I would realistically expect a Psa 7/8 grade. This card is brutal to find perfectly centered.

thunderdan · May 1, 2012 5:20AM

in my opinion, the right edge is even more rough cut than the Aaron RC, and this card has much worse centering.

The centering alone makes it a weak 10 since PSA says they don't discount rough cuts (though many here would argue they do).

MeteoriteGuy · May 1, 2012 5:27AM

Yes, it is a service they started a couple years ago.

sayheykid54 · May 1, 2012 5:27AM

The 1954 Aaron rookie has the centering I would expect with a 1954 Topps Psa 10 card. I don't have an issue with the rough cut on the right side.

The card is a blazer!

SOM · May 1, 2012 5:33AM

I had no idea that there were so many rookies in the 1965 set

Sell your POP 1's before they become POP 2's. Just ridiculous what people pay for them.

Downtown1974 · May 1, 2012 5:40AM

There will be alot of people buying the flips and not the cards in this auction. Atleast for the modern issues.

CNote · May 1, 2012 6:03AM

Not sure if it has been discussed, but how many of these do you guys think Spence will go after?

You don't have a problem with this on a PSA 10???

wrighty · May 1, 2012 9:15AM

For me it's the Yastrzemski that I would love to have.

thunderdan · May 7, 2012 2:49AM

Wow, check out the prices on the Reggie and Rose RCs. 79K and 90K (w/o juice). Somebody wants those two cards BAD!

vladguerrero · May 7, 2012 3:08AM

There's a ton of cheap modern RC's from his collection that are affordable for pretty much everyone, if you can't buy the Clemente a modern HOF RC tagged from the same collection for $25 would be a cool pick up.
