Dmitri Young SCP thread

Me too. I think the Garvey is keeping this thing going as it's going bonkers. Most else looks like it's leveling off

We'll see what it looks like tomorrow AM

<< <i>Is it just me, or does the Stargell at $9K seem like a very good buy?
It is a much nicer 10 than the Rose. >>



I totally agree. And I've seen many nicer Rose's in 9 cases.

It appears that lots 1 -497 have just closed within the last few minutes. My clock shows 4 am central time.

<< <i>Why can't I see the results? When I go to SCP, I can only see lots 498-onward, and when I click on the Dimitri Young Collection, the screen is blank. >>



There is a link in red that says first 498 lots on mid to high left of screen

I went to bed winning the 62 Brock. Woke up and I had lost. This one didn't go crazy in extra time--next increment up won it.

That sucks. Oh well. That said, I absoutely bid as high as I was willing to go and stuck to that.

Congrats to everyone on their winnings. I bid on a bunch but only got a few 1983-1987 cards:

'83 Fleer Sandberg
'84 Donruss Strawberry
'86 Donruss McGriff
'86 Donruss O'neill with no Dmitri Young on label
'86 Donruss Rookies Bo Jackson
'86 Topps traded Bo Jackson
'86 Topps Traded Tiffany Bo Jackson
'87 Donruss Bo Jackson
'87 Fleer Bo Jackson
'87 Fleer Glossy Bo Jackson
'87 Topps Tiffany Bo Jackson

That's a sweet run of 80's RC's!!!!

<< <i>Sorry about that Thunderdan...you want a 9? >>



Depends on price and look of card. Can you PM me front and back scans and price?

I bid on a few vintage items, but got blown out. But I was very happy to pick up both of these Murphy's for $927 before premium.

Looks like there was close to 3 million spent on the auctions. I wonder what his take is going to be after fees, etc. and what kind of profit he made after its all said and done.

I finished up with only the following:

1982 DONRUSS #624 STEVE SAX GEM MINT PSA 10 (1/5) - DMITRI YOUNG COLLECTION
1982 FLEER #21 STEVE SAX GEM MINT PSA 10 (1/9) - DMITRI YOUNG COLLECTION (This is a great price for this. I sold one of these with Probstein and it went over 40.00 - glad to own this again)
1984 TOPPS #182 DARRYL STRAWBERRY GEM MINT PSA 10 - DMITRI YOUNG COLLECTION (overpaid a little on this as well)
1986 DONRUSS ROOKIES #11 BARRY BONDS GEM MINT PSA 10 - DMITRI YOUNG COLLECTION
1987 DONRUSS #492 BARRY LARKIN GEM MINT PSA 10 - DMITRI YOUNG COLLECTION (overpaid a little on this)
1988 DONRUSS #34 ROBERTO ALOMAR GEM MINT PSA 10 - DMITRI YOUNG COLLECTION
1995 BOWMANS BEST BLUE #7 ANDREW JONES GEM MINT PSA 10 - DMITRI YOUNG COLLECTION

Less than 500.00 (425.00) after the juice for everything.

Was surprised to find the Bonds didn't have a Dmitri Young tag.

I was in on the Sutton early and bowed out after it cleared 3K. That was my limit for that card. If I had won it, I would have probably embarked on the Sutton Master set. I was also in on the 74 Parker. I've always wanted that card, but decided 1800.00 was too much. Everything bought though will be fitting in my registry sets just fine.

Gorgeous Murphy. I had a bid in on that as well.

The 1954 Al Kaline Psa 10 finished at $88,688. I feel real bad for the sap that purchased this severely over graded card. The card should have been graded in the Psa 8 range.

IMO the buyer overpaid by $86,000++++++++

JUST RIDICULOUS!!!

I think PSA will put whatever you want on the label. You should make it read "Joe Orlando Personal Collection" or maybe "Holy Sh*t, this is Awesome!"

<< <i>How about "I helped build a Baseball School"

or

"20% Buyers Premium collection" >>



Love the 2nd one..

I went to sleep around 1230am central time leading 6 auctions and none had moved in two hours. I woke up and had won 3. I lost out to late bids on the three big ones and was pretty bummed. I missed the Fisk OPC, E. Murray OPC, and Dwight Evans OPC. That Murray OPC rookie was beautiful. Anyway, I won a few:

1981 OPC #136 TIM RAINES GEM MINT PSA 10 (1/3) - DMITRI YOUNG COLLECTION
1985 TOPPS #536 KIRBY PUCKETT GEM MINT PSA 10 - DMITRI YOUNG COLLECTION
1987 OPC #320 BARRY BONDS GEM MINT PSA 10 (1/6) - DMITRI YOUNG COLLECTION

I've been looking for the Bonds OPC rookie for quite a while, so was happy to get that one. I overpaid a bit on the Puckett because I wanted to win at least one Dmitri card and I can never have too many Puckett rookies. The Raines is another OPC rookie I've been wanting. I'm hoping his HOF vote % continues to climb.

Anyway, I'm really disappointed about the Fisk and Murray cards which brings me to this question. How many of you regret not making a little stronger push at a card that may take you years to see again? I think I have a little non-buyers remorse about that Murray. Also, for those with limited funds, did you see any cards and think "Man, if I had the finances, I know I could turn this card for a big profit in a few years"?

I won the color shifted Ozzie and the NNOF Thomas.

<< <i>I won the color shifted Ozzie and the NNOF Thomas. [/

Nice pick up's! Wish I could see what some of the cards went for. They are not available on SCP or VCP.

How do I post a scan?

<< <i>I won the color shifted Ozzie and the NNOF Thomas. >>



Wow, congrats! I was watching that Ozzie. It got a lot of attention late

<< <i>I won the color shifted Ozzie and the NNOF Thomas. >>



Unless a couple more Thomas cards pop, I think you will do well on this one long term, but what do I know.

<< <i>Looks like there was close to 3 million spent on the auctions. I wonder what his take is going to be after fees, etc. and what kind of profit he made after its all said and done. >>




I doubt Young paid any consignee fees to SCP.

<< <i>4am, really not surprised, I figured at least 2am.

I am assuming that I won the auctions, as I don't have any new outbid notices in my email.

I really wanted that Jeter, but wasn't bidding again.

Should have won:

Mattingly Topps Tiffany RC
Gary Carter Topps Mini(now I have that plus his regular in SGC 10, and his RC on top of a Cello in PSA 10, and this will finish nicely with his 75 Topps contract.
Alex Rodriguez SP RC

What did everyone win? >>



Mike - that's a great take! Did you end up winning those three, afterall?

Had to snag the Clemente, have been looking for a 9 for yrs and havent found a good one, was time to step up and this thing is a blazer!!! Also scooped the Brock. Great auction, was fun to watch and particpate. EOMINT

<< <i>bubblebathgirl, what do you mean by green shift? >>







IMO $4,569.60 for the Molitor is a price that simply won't hold up over time. If one was to hit eBay, I'd guess it'd sell for 2-2.5k (assuming it doesn't get super shilled).

I think many things contribute to the prices we saw with the SCP auction ... the hype, the lack of accountability for bids, and people with lots of money doing what people with lots of money do.



The buyer got taken to the cleaners on it during the Mile High auction and is now trying to offload it for a profit. Most eBay buyers, in the market for such a card, probably have VCP or some general knowledge of what this card will normally go for ... and will simply do their homework. They'll also look at the scans and see that the back of the card is horrible ... and in no way demands a premium above other examples. Needless to say that card remains unsold and the seller will most likely need to take a substantial loss in order to move it IMO.

So I understand the joy of being able to get something you really want, such as the Molitor or Ozzie ... but I honestly think the prices they went for simply won't hold up over time and are examples of circumstances as I've expressed above. >>



As I said, the Molitor is a card I have had on my radar for years and the to be honest, I didn't buy it for the sake of turning a profit so who knows what might happen if I decide to sell it in a year or 2. I am a collector first and if these cards are profitable and a nice investment for my kids great. What few PSA 10 Molitors I've seen don't compare to this one

Looks like you specialize in 78 and 79, but you compare the HOF rookies in the auction and in general what they're going for, the Molitor/Trammel is pretty reasonable. 11K for the Rickey Henderson? 20K for Ozzie? Maybe the Eddie Murray is comparable but even that went for 6500. What about the Eckersly at 6600?

As I said, I'm biased cuz I love the Molitor/Trammel and cards in general that usually have major defects and are so hard to find pristine (Also love the Bird/Magic). Probably a lot of us overpaid

It will be interesting to see what these start going for when they pop up on eBay.

Bubblegirl, do you happen to know what the last PSA 10 Molitor went for on eBay? I know the SMR guide lists it at 3300
