Potential value of a 1/1 card

Hi everybody! I'm new to this here site, but not to collecting. I was lucky enough to pull a 2016 Bowman Platinum Victor Robles 1/1 Black auto, and was hoping someone could give me an idea of what its potentially worth. Ideally I would place it on Ebay with a fixed price, but if there are better venues I'd love to hear about them. So, thanks in advance and away we go...

Cheers,
Dan

    May want to go to blowoutcards forums...lots of modern collectors there that may be able to assist in values for modern 1/1 stuff

    In order to gauge value, you could also consider either putting it up for auction with a much-too-high reserve and see where the bids take it; or, you could list it as buy-it-now with again a too-high BIN and accept best offers, and see if anything rolls in that way. Both of these types of listings would equate to a situation where the perception was that you weren't actually trying to sell, but rather making an attempt to assess market value.

    The 1/1 market no longer holds the fascination it once did because there are so many now. Most 1/1 are not even true 1/1's because the exact same card can be found with different numbering. I thought I had a true 1/1 until I found the exact same card could be found numbered to 10, 25 etc. To me that is not a true 1/1.

    Is your example a card with the same photo, different numbering and a different border/refractor/Color type or cards that are exactly the same in every single way except for the numbering?

    To me there would be a distinct difference between the two.

    So I'd be curious of the list of cards that were in the later catagory because any that I've bought wouldnt fit. I don't look at Leaf products or a few UD lines so I'd be interested to see if any of those make your list.

    Something else to consider: I would suggest that in general, serial numbered items #/4 and #/5 can often sell for much much more than serial numbered items 1/1, #/2 and #/3. This is because it takes a minimum print run of 4 in order to qualify for inclusion on a player set registry composition. Like you'll read in countless threads here, "the registry is a powerful drug." So, an item that is part of a player set composition will have people potentially bidding against each other with a competition level unseen from non-registry collectors for /1, /2 & /3.
