BTW, the Heritage Clemente PSA 8 is now at $95,600 with BP (and the PSA 7 is now at $19,120 with BP). Both end tomorrow. Will the PSA 8 break $100K?
And FWIW, if Clemente PSA 8s are now averaging about $73K I think there is still reasonable upside in the Aaron PSA 8 which is now in the mid $32k-$34k range. Based
on the populations and recent Clemente prices the Aaron PSA should start moving toward a support price in the low-mid $40s.

PSA-9 ~$478k
PSA-8 ~$120k (25% x PSA 9)
PSA-7 ~$30k (25% x PSA 8)
For a Clemente RC...20 to 25 percent of the next highest whole grade?
For a Aaron RC...recent sales in going from a 9 to an 8
PSA 9 $273000
PSA 8 $42000
For an Aaron RC...it is ~15 percent. Hence...the feeling that the Aaron RC in an 8 has room to move?
Btw Clemente is now up to $113k

maybe I am a fool but when collectibles values become totally driven by investing, when the music stops, some serious pain ensues.
I don't feel bad for the guys who get stuck with the high end stuff for nutty prices, I feel for the common collector who had to buy a psa 3 for the price of what psa 6/7's were/should be selling for. then again the collector will be happy no matter what
Haha. But you got the biggest one though.
Btw Clemente is now up to $113k

I will definitely agree on that point. Whoever bought the Goodwin Clemente back in November has to be very happy today. The Goodwin one was outstanding in all respects, and was a pre .5 grading - think it has a chance to bump. If not it has seen a nice $60-80k increase in price.

ughh...u guys are killing me...it still hurts....but I'm over it
..that is if ur talking about the '52 i was behind u in line to buy.....but I'm over it....smart business decision
It looks like the best "bargains" might be the Aaron RC and the PSA 8 Willie (when you compare the price difference between an 8 and a 9), although, the 8 looks like it has a slant.
Thanks for the explanation. How you described it makes sense.

Have to agree on Aaron PSA 8 being the current bargain.
The average price of a Clemente RC in PSA 8 based on the recent sales (last few weeks) is now $80,419!
SCP 4/24 $73,409
Memory Lane 5/8 $61,200
Mile High 5/6 $68,018
Mile High 5/6 $68,018
Heritage 5/12 $131,450
The average price of an Aaron RC in PSA 8 during the same period is now $42,214!
Mile High 5/6 $38,129
REA 5/1 $48,000
Heritage $40,630
PWCC 5/10 $42,100
Many of these sales were for cards with above average eye-appeal, centering, etc.
With the Clemente population about 2/3 of the Aaron population (about 180 Aarons versus 120 Clementes), but a price difference of close to 50% it would suggest the Aaron RC probably has another $8k-$10k of appreciation in order to be relatively valued.
As for the Aaron PSA 9 (sold 5/8 for $228,000) it seems like it is starting to get very close to its relative valuation versus the Clemente PSA 9 ($478,000 in Feb 2016 at Heritage). There are twice as many Aarons at this level versus Clemente, so a price of about 50% ($239,000) is not unrealistic.
Anyone want to bet that we see an Aaron PSA 8 sell for over $50k by the time National ends this year?

As long as someone will take a 3rd party out of state temporary check I will be a buyer at $50k
Amazing thing about Clemente is that he only hit 20 or more HR's in a season 3 times during his career while winning 4 batting titles and one MVP. Imagine a player today with those numbers and how they would be discussed amongst the great players. I think the fact that he was the greatest Latin American player along with the greatest defensive outfielder is what elevates him up there with Mays and Aaron.

This and his fanbase are rabid versus Aaron fans in general. There are very passionate collectors.

Very true. Clemente was a great humanitarian and died in a plane crash taking aid to victims of an earthquake in Nicaragua. This was something he usually did in the offseason, and one of the reasons he was so revered by players and fans. I read his story a while back and very interesting read about how he grew up and started playing ball. A very caring man who happened to also be a great player as well. Agree that being the greatest Latin ball player also adds to his legacy.
