    Did Steve just make a joke? Is this collector's universe or alternate universe. Just kidding Steve. I agree.

    Wouldn't nam's guess of 18 yen be the furthest from the correct answer? 18 yen is about 16 cents.

    I was just thinking that too. 18 yen is around 20 cents I think. However, Lee did say "what he paid for them" dollars it would be?


    I'll leave that up to him.


    and yes give me some more cow bell.

    Downtown- Ham sandwich on the way. PM sent.

    As far as nam goes, he is automatically disqualified from all contests because he's a troublemaker and ne'r-do-well. On occasion he can be a wisenheimer too.

    After Winpitcher's initial post i thought about guessing infinity+1 dollars, but i was too lazy. Would i have won?

    I knew I should have guessed 17 drachmas instead.

    Hold on PAL ! (Don't you hate when some calls you PAL and your not PALS) --Dane Cook

    There is a Jordan SGC 92 for $679.99 BIN or BO on eBay and it had not sold so I say you estimate on the Jordan from your lot was high and with the adjusted fair market value and what you really would have paid for that Jordan with shipping the total is exactly $1,111.11

    I think since I am right on the money I should get a bonus spin and I just spun the wheel and it landed on the $1.00 section of the wheel so I win all 4 items! Thanks for the contest PAL!

    Better make him the winner Lee, or he'll write a long fictional story about his youth and threaten your metacarpals with a hammer.

    One man's "crap" is another man's treasure .

    It is just nice to win one of these contests and they're fun .

    I love the way cards move around this place like this , it adds a lot of excitement to the boards .

    Allen- buy the card not the holder, chief. Centering on the SGC 92 on ebay is terrible both ways.
  • cardbendercardbender Posts: 1,831 ✭✭
    A day late and $43 short, my guess was going to be $1190.

    Nice Payton! Looks 9ish to me.

    Are you busting the '86 pack?

    << <i>Allen- buy the card not the holder, chief. Centering on the SGC 92 on ebay is terrible both ways. >>



    Ok, Gaylord, given that the one on eBay has horrible centering I still say your estimate of $750 is high even for a nice Jordan with eye appeal. Clearly the only way for you to settle this is to sell the Jordan on eBay so we know exactly what its fair market value is. Also stop hoggin up all the Rice rookies. Thanks for the contest.
  • CDsNutsCDsNuts Posts: 10,092
    Settle down there liverlips. $750 might be high for an SGC 92, but look at what BVG 8.5's are bringing. I certainly wouldn't trade mine for this one. There hasn't been an SGC 92 sold since October, but they were all in the $600 range so you may be right. Regardless, it's my contest and if I want to overpay for a card then it's my right. Last I checked, this is America isn't it?

    As a side note, just looking at VCP for Jordan RCs, some guy named t-bone56 has bought dozens of Jordan RCs over the past year and not sold any, and spent tens of thousands on them. I wonder how many he has. Anybody know who he is?

    23 Jordan rookies in 2 months. This guy's an animal!!
  • Downtown1974Downtown1974 Posts: 6,963 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Look at Coco giving it to T-bone. That was a classic episode.
  • cardbendercardbender Posts: 1,831 ✭✭


    << <i>t-bone56 has gone on a spending spree this month that puts yours to shame >>



    As a card seller friend of mine told me after I bought a card from him many years ago, 'Now you gotta sell it'.

    I wish Tbone a lot of luck when he decides to unload all of those Jordan RC's. Tying a lot of money up in newer cards will not turn out good in the long run. But it's his money and I wish him the best.
  • CDsNutsCDsNuts Posts: 10,092
    In case anybody cares, I figured out the t-bone56 is the buying account for vintagerookies. He basically buys and flips thousands of graded rookies in all sports.
  • fergie23fergie23 Posts: 2,165 ✭✭✭✭
    Yup he does an amazing job cracking PSA 5-6-7-8s and sending them to BCCG then selling them in his store for a handsome profit. I have seen him flip a couple OC 1980 Bird/Magic PSA graded rookies I sold him and make $100+ each time BCCG 8 Bird/Magic. ($159.99 for BCCG 8 Bird/Magic rookie which is EX or better condition).

    He gets PSA 8 money for BCCG 9s (NM). Looking at his feedback you just wonder what some of the his buyers were thinking (look at his sales of BCCG cards). He does have a pretty extensive inventory though.

    He is actually a good guy, I've talked to him a couple times. Mostly I'm just jealous he is able to flip cards so effectively image
