ANSWER INSIDE! How many 1998 SP Authentic Vince Carter (serial#ed 1 / 3500) have been slabbed by PSA

gregmo32

I thought this might be fun.

For the integrity of it, no peeking.

The Rookie cards in 1998 SP Authentic Basketball were serial numbered 1/3500.

Three questions:

1.) Want to guess how many Vince Carter RC's have been graded by PSA and BGS and SGC combined?

2.) What percentage of the total number of printed cards does this represent?

and most importantly.....

3.) What does this mean for the amount of unopened product that still exists from this set?


(I do understand that some of the numbers may be skewed by crack/resubmitted cards. Just play along.)

I don't even collect basketball, but here it goes without any peeking:

1) 2,500 total
2) 2,500/3,500 is approx 71%
3) I would guess if these numbers are about right, then perhaps there isn't much unopened left of this product.

Total guesses on my part. Thanks for the diversion .

I was told there would be no math

sbfinley

I will post the answers Wednesday night. Get your guesses in.
I will send a prize to whoever is closest.

Cubby

1 - 3995

2 - around 114%

3 - That any remaining product will take a hit in value

3100 graded. 88.5% of total. Very little unopened remaining.

1.) Want to guess how many Vince Carter RC's have been graded by PSA and BGS and SGC combined?
3,700. I'm guessing it's more than 100%, that's why you asked.

2.) What percentage of the total number of printed cards does this represent?
105.714%

and most importantly.....

3.) What does this mean for the amount of unopened product that still exists from this set?
Nothing, as there are not too many people who collect this set.

gregmo32

Give me a few more.

LarkinCollector

1. 3457
2. 98.77%
3. There's probably not much unopened left, but don't know how much demand for it there is so probably no huge premium.

New thread title, to stir up interest. Maybe I think this is more interesting than most.

I live in North Carolina and loved this card when it was so hot. Paid $750 for a PSA 9 and it was up over $1000 before I even got it 4 days later in the mail. I listed it to sell about an hour after the 76'ers raptors last playoff game. He missed a last second shot and the card only sold for $550. If he had made that shot I think it would have sold for 1200 plus. They can be had today for about $50.

Markmac,

I remember those days clearly. I bought a five count lot of PSA 9's for about a grand a month before the explosion began. They went bonkers for a while there and I sold them. Crazy to think of, now.

I remember being mocked unmercifully by an entire room full of people around then when I stated emphatically that Carter wasn't in Kobe's league as a player.

gregmo32

Okay, the totals are:

Out of 3500 cards,

PSA 2440
BGS 1267
SGC 93

for a total of..... 3800 even.

DrFong

Wow, PSA 10's sell for under $75 now. I can remember them going for $3,500 each once upon a time. Yikes.

Greg,

Thanks for the contest. It was interesting to see how many were graded compared to the amount printed.

Question:

In the case of a crack/resubmit of a serial #'ed card, does PSA delete the previous grade from the pop reports? And, if not, why the heck not?
