in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

Hey, I'm from the US Coin Forum. I purchased this card about 8 years ago and would like yalls opinion on it. Im not a card collector, but would like to list it. It was listed for a little on ebay, but no bites at my crazy asking price looking for an offer. Whats the best way to sell a top pop obscure card like this? I need to raise some funds after the 2 hurricanes. Thanks in advance. :smile:

    Just list as an open auction and see where the chips fall. Let the market set the price.

    This exact card sold for $210 in 2009. According to VCP one sold for $3700 in May 2020.

    very cool card. i think auction would be the wrong way to go.

    i would list it at $3k and discount it on a weekly interval until someone swiped it.

    Maybe Paul McCartney might buy it. Seriously. He owns all the rights to Buddy Holly's music. Is a big fan.

    Bluejay, I wouldn't even know how to contact him. I can try though. My luck would be him having the other mint 9. It's pop 2/0. :D

    In a few of the Beatle biography books I've read it was stated that John Lennon got the idea for the name "Beatles" as an offshoot of the name "Crickets".

    Bluejay and Joe, that's very cool! I didn't realize that until you pointed it out.

    Well, I messaged Paul McCartney on his facebook. I hope he responds. I know he has a huge following, but no harm in asking, right?

    Good looking card. Best of luck with it. I sure am sorry about the hurricanes.

    That was Ritchie Valens' (who died with Buddy Holly) song, not Buddy Holly's.

    I do think Peggy Sue was rocking her Chantilly lace that night though
