auction to watch

Like Mr. Dpeck, I am fascinated to watch these high demand, semi-modern PSA 10 auctions. This particular card is wicked tough to find centered, both L/R and T/B. I'm guessing the hammer is at $650, a good deal higher than normal. Pop 3 last time I checked.

1979 Topps George Brett PSA 10

BBG, you getting involved in this one?

    Interesting.

    Great centering, but top edge looks flush with holder while bottom edge isn't close though? Top right corner doesn't look gem either. I'll guess $525.

    That card is sick!!!

    No clue what these go for but an awesome looking George Brett!!!!

    BBG if this is on your radar good luck!

    Thehallmark thanks for posting. I love watching these low pop stunners. It is cards like this that make the hobby fun.

    The seller has quite a few other Brett PSA 10's too. Nice batch of cards up.

  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Triple post. LOL

    $643 and still reserve not met.

    Maybe $1,000+???

    Nice cards, but he should change his name to 'reserve not met cards"
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.

    I love this card! I'd like to add all of Brett's cards from the 70's in PSA 10. BTW - I'm surprised the '79 is higher than the '78 Topps card. The '78 is a beast to find without the print defect and well-centered.

    I stand corrected - the '78 is now higher than the '79.

    I would imagine it would be relatively difficult for PSA to determine if a card was sheet cut? With some of the pirces I see for PSA 10 HOF's, it seems buying uncut sheets and getting them professionally cut may be a good endeavor. NIce Brett!

    From what I've heard - PSA is a lot better at detecting sheet cut cards that some other grading companies whose name starts with the letter Beckett.

    That card was graded a long time ago...I doubt that card would grade Gem Mint 10 today with L/R centering.

    $1,025 and the reserve has yet to be met.

    I checked them earlier. It blows my mind that he's got reserves set that high!

    lovely upper right corner

    AND overall "shape" of the card
    I guess its ok to be longer on one end than the other
    or shorter ... either way

    yeah, I would agree

    Reserve auctions annoy me. Not that I'd never bid on one under any circumstances..... but it's behavior I would prefer not to reward.

    I would think a pop 3 basic Brett 10 would sell for a lot more than a grand. You've got the 1979 guys going up against the Brett and Royals guys. For contrast, the last two 1980 Topps Brett 10's sold for $222 and $450 and that is a pop 45. The '79 should bring 2k easy and I wouldn't be shocked to see it top 4k.

    For what it's worth here's what VCP has on the '78 & '79:

    The only recorded 1978 Topps - PSA 10 sold in an ebay auction 8/3/07 for $1,225.00

    The only recorded 1979 Topps - PSA 10 sold in an ebay auction 11/13/06 for $589.00

    Five or six years is a long time to wait for a competitive Brett collector to get their hands on a PSA 10 of one of these cards. They could both very well go for near 2K.

    BTW, $589 for the PSA 10 1979 in 2006 was a steal for someone!

    I agree. If you have a bottom line, then start your auction with that # as an opening bid. Its almost as annoying as the BIN musuem sellers, but not quite.

    Fireworks but not enough to cover the reserve.

    Probably fishing for a sale off ebay to save on fees..

    Reserve not met!?!?! Sometimes we need to inject just a little common sense logic into these cards!
  • CDsNutsCDsNuts Posts: 10,092 ✭
    It would've gone higher with no reserve. If I had this card I'd get every bit of $2500 for it, maybe more.
  • jmmiller777jmmiller777 Posts: 1,324 ✭✭✭
    Wow, that is a bunch. So if PSA identifies this as a sheet cut card, does the grade change?

    which is half of what Probstein would get. You don't impress me a bit.

    Doesn't Jerry already have this card?

    Man ... the power of THE REGISTRY! If cards were never graded, this card would sell for $5.00. AMAZING!

    That seller should've consigned it to PWCC to get top dollar with his great scans.
