interesting study. I guess it proves buy quality and don't be afraid to move it when the time is right.
I don't have that practice down yet unfortunately

collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.
looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started
We'll, there you have it. The buyers group finally revealed.
Collecting PSA 9's from 1970-1977. Raw 9's from 72-77. Raw 10's from '78-'83. Collecting Unopened from '72-'83; mostly BBCE certified boxes/cases/racks. Prefer to buy in bulk.
Seems a bit odd that in these card investment articles there is no mention of the vintage unopened product/market
Mainstream media may be aware or familiar with the "blue chip" cards that even many casual baseball fans are familiar with, but the unopened market is a specialized niche even within the hobby and among card collectors, nevermind mainstream media.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Originally posted by: lahmejoon Too bad they relied on Beckett for their analysis.
The Becketts he used from the 1990s would actually be pretty reliable. Back then, Beckett prices were "The Bible" on prices. When you went to a card show, that is what dealers would charge...with very few ever discounting that price, especially on the "hot" cards of the month.
