I've seen this card sell consistently in the $50 range. SMR is $70. How in the world did it get up over $400??? WOW.

"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

<< <i>homeboy that bought it buys alot of PSA 10s and he likes to throw down some $$.. look at his feedback. >>
Yes, I noticed that as well. He seems to always be chasing the same 10's I am. Matter of fact, he just sniped a 1979 Schmidt PSA 10 for $280.00 (I had bid $260.00, SMR is $350.00).
Currently collecting.....your guess is as good as mine.
What do you guys think of the rough cut for that PSA 10? I really like the 1958 Cardinals Team PSA 10 they had up there...although the centering on the back wasnt too great.
Plus..the 1956 Mossi PSA 10 had to be the highest price ever paid for a really ugly guy on a baseball card.

I think it's terrible. That card looks more like an 8 to me. The rough cut appears to have affected the corners.

but I've never been wrong
it seldom turns out the way
it does in the song
once in a while
you get shown the light
in the strangest of places
if you look at it right
How’s that card doing today ?
Probstein sold one for $363 late last year. That's the highest price in a long time.

Accounting for inflation the card is significantly lower in FMV than it was in 2003. Anyone who paid $400+ in 2003 got severely hosed!

I mainly stick to 70s cards and Guidry is one of my all-time favorites. I have a couple 8s but had been waiting on a 9 to come up for a long time (I'd missed on last year). I got a 9 recently and probably overpaid. I didn't care because it was missing in my collection and wanted it more than almost any card in the 70s. It's not close to the most valuable card I have, but it is one of my all-time favorites.
I wouldn't have paid $400 in 2003, but would have now...
i really hope a 10 doesn't come up for auction any time soon.
The 1976 card stagnated around $140-$150 for many years, that is when I picked up mine. My Mom used to tell me about watching him pitch in 1977 and especially 1978. I sure do miss her.

Meanwhile the Alomar 9 last sold for $81.99 and hit a low point of $8.52. Needless to say, the buyer who paid $450 for it in 2004 overpaid a tad.
grumble... I paid $70 for my 1976 Sandy Alomar in 2007 Still only 1 in PSA10. Very Tough card in 9 or higher due to centering but not quite 1976 George Brett tough.

The '76 set may be my favorite of all time, but the centering on 76-79 are horrible. Getting decent cards with perfect centering is not easy.
I sold a PSA 9 1976 Alomar for $102.50 back in 2004.
So many ‘76 cards have a “taper cut” to them. The bottom appears centered, but then the right edge veers inward and the top edge is slightly narrower than the bottom edge.
76's are so tough
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
