tiger officially done?

was looking at that bonds thread that's going down and prices paid for his cards. had me thinking about tiger. i collect the 2012 ud blue/gold parallel sets. it's a fun set as it also has guys like gretzky, jordan, dr. j, schmidt and several other stars from other sports.



both sets complete, except 1 card. so periodically still look for her under certain criteria which pulls up the blue/gold parallels of tiger as well. when the set first came out and for a steady year or so afterwards his cards would pull in roughly $80-40 on the blue. about $20 on the gold.



well i looked again today and there are several blue's for less than $2 and still not selling. people are paying more to ship his '01 ud rc psa 9 than they are for the card itself. not only that, there are only 13 documented sales of psa 9 cards, period!



luckily, i never got caught up in his cards. i did have a sifk psa 10 gem at one point, but sold it. didn't kill it, but i can only imagine what the guy did who paid $100,000k for one is sleeping considering pwcc just auctioned one and got $3550. this was a $10K all day everyday for years.



of course bonds was on pd's (tiger too but not what this is about). bonds at least played in an era where just about everybody was doing it. i think there is (at least) a possibility, granted way down the line, that his cards could rebound slightly/somewhat but as for tiger, i just don't see it....



is it time to officially break out the fork?

    I'm probably in the minority but I believe he's going to get one more major before his career is over. As far as card board value I'd say "stick a fork"

    he should get at least one. somewhere, somehow. but needs 4 just to tie jack.

    The 125k + Psa 10 Woods has to be the biggest disaster ever. Look at this list and the card it is one spot ahead of:

    DISASTER

    Tiger goes to 3k and Mantle goes to 3 million. Haha

    I can see it if he can get healthy and stay healthy.

    the young talent hitting the links these days are gonna be hard for him to keep up with....again, golf is a sport that anyone can go out there and have a miracle weekend or a certain player dominates a certain course consistently as it's set up for his game, but over the long haul and the day to day grind of the tour, i see it very hard for him to seriously compete anymore.



    and above all else, it may be more along the lines as he's made enough money and just doesn't give a sh!t anymore. that's what I see in his face these days when he hits a bad shot. he used to look concerned. now it's like "oh well".

    The only other thing I can think of is it is a good thing the buyer stayed anonymous as that buy is the Bill Buckner of trading card purchases.

    can anyone else think of a bigger disaster?

    Tiger Woods card sells for $125,000

    Tiger Woods card sells for $125,000



    Tiger Woods Card Breaks the $100,000 Mark!

    Hold on to your hats people because you are not going to believe this one. A 1996 SI For Kids Tiger Woods card graded Gem Mint 10 by PSA sold for an astonishing $125,000 this past week. That's right, $125,000! This is not only the highest price ever recorded for a modern card but it is also one of the highest prices realized of all-time.



    The seller, Mike Souza of American Pastime Investments in San Diego, was excited to be a part of hobby history. "This is simply great news for the hobby," said an excited Souza. "When I first saw this card, I knew it had a chance at making the "10" grade. There was no evidence of yellowing or print on either side of the card, which is a common condition problem for this issue. This has to be the highest price paid for a post-1952 sportscard in any grade."



    The buyer remains anonymous.



    Here are the top 30 prices realized of all time for PSA graded cards:

    Like Tyson & Bonds after their father passed away they started going downhill. He was the one holding it altogether.
