REA final prices, Jordan, Seaver, Wagner, etc

Pretty strong prices all around. $444,000 for a beater of a T206 Wagner. Is that a new record for a SGC 10/PSA 1 quality Wagner? Wagner T206

I like to follow Tom Seaver rookie prices. I think $14,400 for a PSA 9 is a new record. 1967 Seaver

One card price that really stood out was $5,400 for a PSA 8 Jordan rookie. It's a nice one to be sure, maybe even "high end". But that price is crazy for an 8. You can buy a 9 for more than a thousand less on ebay these days. 1986 Jordan PSA 8


Presumably these prices all reflect REA's 20% buyer's premium (though it doesn't state that for sure that I can see).

    Congrats to the seller of the Jordan!! That looks like an 8 at best with the corners.

    I do not follow Wagner or Seaver prices but I collect a lot of basketball and specifically 1986 Fleer. The price on the Jordan is sheer lunacy. I understand if you think it may bump, but what do you think it will bump to, a 9.5? You can get a beautiful PSA 9 all day for $5400 and less (and I do not think that price includes the Buyer's Premium, so possibly $6480)! Just go on eBay and buy 4 or 5 PSA 8's if that's your thing. I also agree with Dpeck100, congrats to the seller, as IMO, the card is properly graded at a PSA 8. I was joking earlier asking if the buyer expected to bump to a PSA 9.5, but let's say they are hoping for a BGS 9.5 cross; I don't even think that's possible as not only are the corners touched but there is visible chipping in the blue border on the right. So best case scenario is a BGS 9. Man, right place, right time for the consignor of that card. Kudos!

    For that price, the buyer would have to be confident that he can get it into a 10 holder, and I just don't see that happening without some "upgrades". It looks accurately graded.

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."

    If this includes BP then the actual bid was $40,000!

    Incredible appreciation on this card! These prices have to make a lot of people sick to their stomach. I remember when $6,500 was over paying and above the VCP average. Whoops.

    I think I recall this being a $29,000 card at the same time. Dmirti has to be ill at the thought of selling the 10 for like $290,000.

    This one looks like a Perfect 10 to me. Wonder why its not in a 9 or 10 holder.

    and this PSA 8 also in PWCC auction.

    maybe scans are hiding imperfections, but this looks better than your average 8

    Thanks for the info. Is it me or does the bottom right corner seem odd/off?

    How much more in total do you think he would have made if he sold everything now instead of then?

    Still room to grow. People just started discover Hank about a year ago. He was too low for too long.

    Obviously it's speculation but I would bet he left at least 2 million on the table. Perhaps more. Between the Clemente and Aaron at least a mil or more right there.

    "These prices have to make a lot of people sick to their stomach. I remember when $6,500 was over paying and above the VCP average."

    Count me in this group. I was holding a nice Aaron 8 in my hand at the white plains show I think only 18 or so mos ago. The price was around 8K which would have been by a good bit my $ purchase ever. VCP was around 6500-7K and I just couldn't justify spending that much and still spending more than VCP.

    Its a big time stomach punch...Especially since I bought a high end unopened 69 packs from the same dealer which all turned out to be resealed. ouch!

    I had always wanted a Jordan rookie and second year Fleer. I bought them in 2010 and then decided I wanted to divert the money into more wrestling cards as I expected they could always be bought at a relatively close price. Sold the Jordan 9 for $1,250 on EBAY the PSA 9 Fleer for $115 the same way. I wish I had just gone to my checking account at the time! Haha.


    I only make the comment you quoted jokingly because all of us either passed on a card, sold it and watched it sky rocket or a combination of both!

    "watched it sky rocket or a combination of both"

    definitely! especially with what's been going on the last year. We've all passed on or sold cards which went up in the past, but the percentages we're talking about these days are just nuts

    Quite frankly it is mind boggling. There was a board member who is no longer with us and I remember vividly he purchased a Clemente in a PSA 8 for $6,500. 20% above VCP and he was getting chastised from the peanut gallery. One just closed at something like 73k. That is a 1,000% increase on a card that was already considered valuable. Simply incredible.

    That Seaver card sure has a lot of fisheyes. There has to be a lot better 9's than that one.

    There is currently one at Heritage which is bid at $70k ($84k with BP) that is still going, plus
    two at Mile High (about $66k and $64k with BP ending this week) and Memory Lane ($54k with BP ending this week).

    Could we be heading for 6 figures?

    The Topps Mantle has set the bar so high that the others had to increase.

    Edited to add that in addition to the Mantle card the Wagner card has also helped. As long as those two keep going up, up, and away the rest will follow.

    If the Clemente RC gets to $100k+ it will be hard for me not to sell it. Just crazy!

  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    For some reason I recall you posting one when it was around 10k. It would be tough to be staring at a 90k profit in that example and say no thanks with the speed of the move higher.
  • DarinDarin Posts: 7,291 ✭✭✭✭✭
    So if I'm doing the math correctly,
    if the Clemente PSA 8 goes to 100K,
    dividing both numbers by 2,
    that makes my 4 (SGC) worth 50K.
    LOL.
