Sell now or wait?

lsutigers1973 · April 18, 2009 2:12AM

Usually I can figure this out for myself but recent sales are limited or non-existent. This kid is hot and this will be his first full season in the majors (barring any injuries). No recent eBay sales of this card raw or graded. Only SP Adam Lind single auto PSA 10 sold for $130. This one is a POP 1 PSA 10.

My theory is someting bad can always happen, slump/injury. Sell when they are hot.

To add, I have never been a big fan of A-Rod so I put all my dupes aside for a large lot auction. I may have to wait a few more years to get that value back

swartz1 · April 18, 2009 2:20AM

sell it...

pop 1 wont be for long...

gumbyfan · April 18, 2009 2:23AM

Hold onto it for a few years. Store it in the box next to your Kevin Maas and David Neid rookies. They're bound to be valuable someday!!

+1

If it weren't for the pop 1 I would cross it to BGS for selling purposes.

Funny you should say that. It was actually in a box of PSA graded prospects in between Ian Kinsler (the card I was actually looking for) and Ian Desmond.

Agreed...sell when it's hot! You never know what the future holds.

zep33 · April 18, 2009 3:21AM

you could always sell it to a waiter

Pigs · April 18, 2009 5:21AM

Since it could possibly be the only one listed, putting it up now might be a good idea. Especially with a hot player.

stevek · April 18, 2009 7:41AM

Throw out a high "buy it now" and see what happens.

gumbyfan · April 18, 2009 7:46AM

Ask your collection manager.

BPorter26 · April 18, 2009 10:09AM

Sell, Get it while it's hot. He will cool off

swartz1 · April 18, 2009 10:49AM

you dont know what to do?

make a decision...

what are you a "hick" with a "C"

lsutigers1973 · April 18, 2009 10:57AM

Listing stuff from my eBay store in lots tomorrow. Will throw this one on there too with the few singles I'm listing. Probably start it at like a milliion dollars since it is a 1/1 and stuff.

That's funny on multiple levels.

DeutscherGeist · April 18, 2009 6:09PM

This is just my opinion, but I think you should sell when it is hot and buy when it is cold. The price will likely decline. This is not to say he won't be a great one, but the card prices are going to be volatile for rookie players. Lots of ups and downs. If you have no attachment to this card, sell it. If you like the player, sell it now and buy it again once prices soften.

NowPanic · April 18, 2009 11:10PM

I agree with stevek.
Put a Buy It Now price with the best offer option. I have had great success listing that way.

MBMiller25 · April 18, 2009 11:52PM

Sell it!

nam812 · April 18, 2009 11:59PM

5 hits in his last 19 ABs, with no HRs and 1 RBI in his last 8 games.

RonBurgundy · April 19, 2009 1:33AM

sell

intence · April 19, 2009 2:59AM

sell

lsutigers1973 · April 20, 2009 12:37AM

Blatant eBay spam in the wrong forum

nightcrawler · April 20, 2009 12:44AM

I think we all knew where this was headed.

Very tricky regular user guy. Would you like me to make a bogus offer to drum up a little more hype?

lsutigers1973 · April 20, 2009 12:46AM

Feel free. Three more people have looked at this auction in the 10 minutes since I posted the link here.

ElToroLoco · April 20, 2009 1:27AM

I don't understand the issue here. He asked this question on Saturday morning. He got peoples opinion, took their advice and posted it for sale on Sunday evening. I suppose he could have put it in a safe deposit box with his Jerome Walton rookie cards.

Ummm...who had the issue?

lsutigers1973 · April 20, 2009 1:31AM

I have an issue with Craig's new avatar. Was that dude a fan of Gumby too?

You're just jealous that your avatar can't pour you drinks.

minnesotahusker · April 20, 2009 2:36AM

If there's anything I've learned in my years of collecting, is sell while the iron's hot!!

Case in point, Gregg Jefferies. I loaded up on this guy thinking he was the next stud.

Anyone want about 100 Jefferies rookies??

gumbyfan · April 20, 2009 2:41AM

minnesotahusker · April 20, 2009 2:44AM

I can't tell from the scan, but are there a few more behind that top one??

gumbyfan · April 20, 2009 2:46AM

LOL! It's the same offer I made to Bill for his spammed card.

artistlost · April 20, 2009 4:19AM

Just a heads up. His cards have already started to cool down. His most desired card is from the same set as yours but the single autographed version numbered to 400. It was selling at 50+ with BGS 9.5 selling just over 100 but as of last night a PSA 9 went for 37.00.

The card you are selling, though numbered to less, is not as popular as the single player version.

Anyway, if you get a decent offer I would take it and run.

PSA 10 of the single signed Lind card sold for $129 this weekend and only one listed on eBay is a $169 BIN OBO.

My card is a 1/1 and you get 2 rookies for one low price.

Sell now or wait?
