1967 Topps Tom Seaver PSA 8.5 - Test Of The Economy?

Back on August 14, 2008 a 1967 Topps Tom Seaver PSA 8.5 sold for $1,226.55.
Now, there is another 1967 Topps Tom Seaver PSA 8.5 up for sale. It's currently at $810.00 with just under four (4) days to ago.
With the economy hurting, and card prices apparently dropping across the board, I'm wondering where the second Seaver will end up at. Also, it may be just scanning, but it appears that the second Seaver is in better condition. Any guesses?

I don't know why, but I don't think it is so much a test of the economy, but how many people really want it now more than the other...
I think the economy may play a bigger role on lower end staple cards, but on this higher end stuff, it's more a duel of who needs it now...
The second Seaver is pretty awesome!
I noticed a lot of high end cards being offered for sale.
High end graded cards are selling on the lower end of the VCP scale and everything else is taking a downturn or not even selling, raw cards, cases/boxes/packs.
One thing I noticed are quite a bit of set registry breaks...or vintage set breaks lately.
These are all assumptions based on my followings lately.

I haven't noticed any difference as a bidder or a seller either.
It would seem that most of the higher end stuff won't take much of a beating and the lower end stuff won't take as much of a beating as other items that the average joe needs everyday. I'm basically saying that most buyers in the card market are generally better off than the buyers of other items that might suffer more from the slumping economy. Thoughts?

Paid $2.68 this morning (at Kroger after $0.50 discount).

Exactly. Where it's at now means nothing.

Buying Vintage, all sports.
Buying Woody Hayes, Les Horvath, Vic Janowicz, and Jesse Owens autographed items
i predict that seaver goes for (at least) $1100.00

RIP GURU
<< <i>With four days to go, Ebay experience suggests it could wind up even higher. So your post about the "economy" is probably incorrect. But that's ok, keep feeding the panic. It'll only help me in my buying spree.

True story.
Vintage packs and boxes are still holding up well, say 80's opc hockey. Funny the S&P is down 40%, the Ibanks can go down by 90%, but cardboard holds up better than some stock certificates.
Even a "junk box" like 79/80 Topps basketball is still $250. It was a $125 in the mid 90's. But the DOW is only 2,000, 2,500 points higher than where it was in 96.
Only problem (and maybe it's no problem at all), is that there are two (2) auctions for a 1967 Topps Tom Seaver PSA 7 here and here and this auction for an incredible looking 1967 Topps Tom Seaver PSA 9. That is one sharp looking card.

P.S. I have this 1967 Topps Tom Seaver PSA 9 going for $2,357.00 on Memory Lane. I suspect the current auction for the PSA 9 will greatly exceed that.
Congratulations on the 1967 Seaver. After Maddux, Seaver is my favorite pitcher of all-time. So while both Seavers are graded PSA 8.5, you say the second PSA 8.5 looks better? Do you think you'll unload BOTH Seavers and go for the PSA 9? I must say that the PSA 9 looks as good as (or even better) than this PSA 10 I have on file. I'm not a gambling man, but that PSA 9 looks like it might be worth a Review Service or a Crack and Resubmit.

Are you in the restaurant business?
Editted: To correct my awful spelling
How much you asking Jack?
My apologies for the confusion. I don't own either the of the Seaver Rookies in PSA 9 or PSA 10. I just have those images saved on my hard drive so that if I am ever in the market for one of those cards, I can reference those images and their final selling prices. However, the PSA 9 Seaver rookie is up for auction right now on ebay.

Im sure the folks who outbid you arent worried about the economy; howerve 90% of the rest of us are.
P.s. curious as to why the auction is ending at 3pm on a sunday afternoon?

I also see 707 has one up for $4500. It's probably high but I remember they used to offer them for $2800 and that was considered high.
