It's a nice 9, but there are an awful lot of print marks on it, not surprising for the 1976 set.
There are about 100 cards on my list ahead of the Eckersley RC. I don't really understand why that card seems to fetch such crazy prices. Relief Pitchers have never been good investments but for some reason people keep gobbling up the Eck

Man, I bid on another auction by Probstein that ended at the same time for a 75 PSA 9 Ryan. I didn't even win it with a bid at 9 sec to go at $2126.04! The bid it was at prior to mine was $1525. Damn he is getting high prices.

The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

THis is great to hear!
Prices across the board for high end and very rare high grade singles seems to be at an all-time high. As the economy continues to improve, and the housing market continues to improve, the sports memorabilia market should only improve as well. I have noticed just about every card I have purchased over the last couple years has seen a dramatic increase in value.
Across the board it seems solid, and don't get me started on unopened material. It is critical that everyone continue to buy buy buy as the insanity should continue and that is good for all of us!

Easy money policies shouldn't hurt either. As more money gets pumped into the economy, that should make collectibles rise in value (assuming wage increases also follow the expanded money supply).

Which hasn't happened(wage increases) nor has the number of people employed increased.
One thing about the very high end collectibles market....it only takes a very very small number of collectors to drive that market.
Look at mid grade stuff from the 50's-70'...ex-nrmt, raw or graded...the market is lower on eBay than its been in years. The lower end stuff, save for a few superstars or sp series. The lower end stuff from the 60's is near worthless. One could assemble a lower end set from the sixties for only a few hundred, buying a vg or vg-ex commons lot of 400-500 cards for $40-50 or so.
A market with few buyers is in precariously bad shape. Our current national economy is supported mostly by smoke and mirrors with few people paying inflated prices for housing or to participate in the stock market. I see the ultra high end card market the same way. There's a handful of dealers and investors working on cornering small market segments, along with very few deep pocket collectors buying into real or perceived rarity. If just a couple of those collectors..literally two or three...back out and are not replaced, the market collapses.

Is this a joke? Who the hell are you, dude. Why don't YOU leave the board if people talking about trading cards bothers you so much. You seem like a miserable human being.
I hate cheerleading. I love collecting baseball cards. In fact, when I noticed the above occuring, I took stock of the several HOF/semi stars I have from the 1960 Topps Baseball set and decided to go ahead and put together a raw Ex/ExMt set.
I personally don't see the benefit of a overheated bubbletastic sports card market. I'm plenty happy prices are depressed and could care less about those who invest in sports cards.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you, but you're gonna have to come up with better examples to prove your point. I'd be turning cartwheels if someone game me almost $100 combined for those two 1964 lots. Those cards are a step above kindling.

I agree. If you read my posting, part of my argument was that some lower grade vintage cards are essentially worthless, notably 1960's and 1970's Topps with some of the 1950's stuff not far behind.
My ebay name is sternroolz and I've recently picked up a number of cards for the 1960 set I'm building at an average of under $2 for Ex condition cards, around $2.50 for ExMt, and around $3.80 for NrMt card. That is for cards that are fairly well centered and with popping colors. I've passed on a number of cards that don't make me happy, even if the price is right. That price also includes shipping. And while its been some time since I've picked up a Beckett, I believe those prices are well below their pricing structure. The discounts have been even steeper on the HOF cards I picked up save for a Brooks Robinson PSA 6 that I overpayed at $35 for.
Anyway, point being that while a few deep pockets slug it out on rarity, the majority of the cards in the hobby sink lower in price. Which is fine by me, but quite contrary to the cheerleadering, real estate agent-esque statements I was initially responding to.
Sportscardstheory- who the hell are you? You are bashing a very good contributor to this board and a friend to many. I am not out of line you are. If you have a problem with Rick then call him directly on the phone and tell him exactly what is on your mind, but you won't because you want to be a coward as you eat your Cheetos in front of your computer and say things you can't back up. I support PSA and Probstein and you don't by your comments. You are free to leave.

I am not "bashing" anyone, genius. He admitted to the practice of buying his own consignments and having them regraded for his own benefit. So actually, you ARE out of line to attack me for pointing out something that is not only known, but that he openly admitted to. You aren't the message board police, buddy. And you sound absolutely pathetic for trying to be. Who are you to act like you are the voice of this board. Why don't you just keep your mouth shut and let the grown-ups talk.
Good, bad, or indifferent how many threads do we have daily around here that are either started about or end up going to the subject of Probstein? It's like an obsession many on this board have, and the guy has got to be laughing all the way to the bank as the free publicity he gets is astounding
