    Just wondering, what makes this go for so much? Is it because it is opc? Are opc packs from 84 hard to find?

    It's actually a pop 4 with a 10 pop 1 out there too so it's actually much more common than a Topps Mattingly. I can't believe the price I don't even think I'd pay that price for the PSA 10. It's probably time to sell my PSA 10 Topps cello if I could find either of those two bidding on this one.

    Same place you go to find reports for cards. There is a packs category.

  • Price was high but was a nice pack and those mattingly fans are hardcore. Had my snipe set at $160 and figured I had this no problem, checked email tonight, that's weird where is by congrats email lol then saw this post!

    As mentioned earlier I don't think this is a particular tough pack to find but cool none the less. Good to see and makes the price I paid for a 84 donruss mattingly showing wax pack very cheap in comparison.

  • can someone help as Ive never understood graded packs....this wrapper isn't straight, but its tight....is the grade on the tightness or how centered / perfect the pack presents itself.... that got a 9 with the wrapper so off center ???

    I would have thought that $160 would have gotten this pack too.

    The price was about $100 above what this pack generally goes for. Don't quote me, but I believe the last one to sell (less than a year ago) went for around $115. I think this was a case of two collectors really wanting it, and both being willing to overpay so they could "have it now". The second under bid was $97 less than the first under bid. I would imagine that if another was listed soon that it would sell for consideribaly less, but as you said Mattingly fans are hardcore, so who knows!

    O/T can you post a scan of your 84 Donruss wax with Mattingy showing? Thanks.

  • I agree with the sentiment that two strong bidders caused this sale to be so high, but that's all it takes, right ?

    I saw a recent card fetch 5 grand on ebay, and 8 bidders were within 10% of the closing sale price. I think that is a stronger
    indication of a price of a card then what we saw on this auction.
