fandango · February 12, 2010 10:07PM

cant complain about the economy still can we? Get one of these while you can!

linky

swartz1 · February 12, 2010 10:17PM

Can you explain what you mean by "BAD photo"...

the glare?

card shows up pretty good for me...

fandango · February 12, 2010 10:20PM

bad = cant see edges....cant see corners....cant see surface....cant see it clear = bad

especially for this card, you should have PERFECT SCANS for potential buyers...

MBMiller25 · February 12, 2010 10:27PM

Scott, Any concerns about it being legit? I can't believe the guy says hes kept the card in a SOFT SLEEVE since obtaining the card.

fandango · February 12, 2010 10:35PM

that card is legit....

just a poor job selling it....

swartz1 · February 12, 2010 10:37PM

What does the card normally go for...

with GOOD scans?

fandango · February 12, 2010 10:49PM

not sold RAW very often, but over $2100 is a very good price for raw...

good scans and this card may have gone for $2500 today....

that card actually looks WARPED due to Photo vs scanner bed....im sure its not warped...

you can get a PSA 9 for $3200.....

MBMiller25 · February 12, 2010 10:59PM

Its a card I would LOVE to own one day. I would be proud just to have a PSA 10 SPX Pujols.

<< <i>HAS BEEN IN SOFT SLEEVE EVER SINCE I RECIEVED CARD. >>

Hope he doesn't ship it in a penny sleeve and PWE.

ElToroLoco · February 13, 2010 1:35AM

That's a nice card, the scan is average but it sounds like the seller is too. I'm sure there are some big guns looking to grade this card because it's "been in a soft sleeve" over the last 9 years. From the looks, I'm thinking near mint/mint due to centering

UlyssesExtravaganza · February 13, 2010 2:42AM

It's still got some time too. I think the top of the line cards will stay strong in a bad economy and this is one of those. Would be nice to get a discounted PSA 10 Henderson RC or a Mantle in these times but I think they'll hold up. I think the economy is going to hurt a certain type of person and the industry will feel that. But if you were getting huge checks while it was a good economy, you likely still are. Executives stay. They just have to let people below them go. Guys buying 2,000 to 200,000 dollar cards are still going to be around for the good stuff and all you need is two very interested people with cash to send something to the stratosphere. Even with a handful of bidders disappearing, you still have little supply and a ton of demand.

jimq112 · February 13, 2010 2:55AM

Isn't that card a lot more valuable once it's numbered 5/500 or am I thinking of a different one? Might be that the high bidder plans on doing just that.

Stone193 · February 13, 2010 2:59AM

I agree - very poor photos and I don't know for sure what's going on with the back of this card.

Now - and I mean no disrespect to people who buy these kinds of cards - but 3200$ for a PSA 9? That's a lot of money!!!!

But, if one connects the card with the man? He's got some of the best stats - at this point in his career - of any player in history!

On this sale? I can't believe the price is up to 2K with those kinds of pics.

vladguerrero · February 13, 2010 4:15AM

the reason this card sold so high is because of the bold signature, it's so bold that it made me stay away due to the clowns who are wiping and re-signing these freakin cards

common fading

another questionably bold auto

fiveniner · February 13, 2010 4:28AM

mamma mia!!!!!!!!!!!

JHS5120 · February 13, 2010 9:23AM

<< <i>that card is legit....

Actually, I think that it is safe to say that this seller did the BEST job I have ever seen in the history of this card. This is the highest price I have seen a raw Pujols card go for --- $3050!!!! Kudos to him!

fandango · February 13, 2010 9:41AM

WOW

new record!

$3000 raw

amazing

thenavarro · February 13, 2010 9:48AM

That's one card that is probably going to not end up in my signed rookie collection. I don't ever see myself laying out the kind of coin necessary to buy one of those on one of them. Pujols signed rookies are well represented in my collection with 3 different ones so far, and I'd love to get one of those, just don't love to pay for it, LOL.

Those weren't available in packs, correct? They had to be redeemed via a mail in redemption card? So that means no chance to ever pull one from a reasonably priced pack either.

I was thinking about that Mike.

If there's still product? There's still the possibility that all the cards weren't redeemed.

If Topps is sitting on a bunch? It would be a cool thing to put them in one of their newer products - tho I doubt they would do that.

swartz1 · February 13, 2010 10:02AM

Would have been nice to see what that card would have brought with GOOD pics...

fandango · February 15, 2010 9:31PM

wow !!!

sold for over $3000 RAW

PSA 9 just sold for $4500.....

AMAZING in this market....

looks like some of the WHALES are stepping up to get this Iconic card.....

ps.. how many 52 mantles exist? 100,000 or more? big difference from 500!

shagrotn77 · February 15, 2010 9:41PM

<< <i>Would have been nice to see what that card would have brought with GOOD pics... >>

Let it go already.

mtcards · February 16, 2010 12:34AM

No, those cards were not available in packs. If you pay $$$ for whats being asked on 2001 Chrome boxes you are going to be disappointed. There was a Beckett article on this not too long ago where a Topps spokesperson confirmed that the only way to get this card was via exchange.

Allen · February 16, 2010 3:24AM

Sold to a zero feedback buyer with the other 2 bidders who went over $2,100 looking very suspect.

divecchia · February 16, 2010 4:16AM

I was one of these guys that paid crazy money for new Ryan cards limited to 30 or 34, but even I wasn't dumb enough to pay that much money for a card that has 500 copies available. In 25 years you'll have a tough time getting $300 for the card, never mind $3000. I know I got plenty of Ryan cards that will back up my statement. It's great while the player is active and doing well, but once he retires goes into the HOF and people start to forget about him or move on to someone else as most people do you'll be hard pressed to sell that card for that kind of money.

JMHO...Donato

jackstraw · February 16, 2010 5:14AM

I wonder if we will see a new 5/500 soon? Looks like it would be easy to wipe off the 21...

WOW! over $3000 with a BAD photo of this RAW , Iconic card
