    Yes I read those are checklists and in older sets they seem to trade at massive premiums.

    I just like seeing cards trade at these levels in the non sport division.

    If a PSA 10 Hulk Hogan ever surfaces it will go for a crazy number like this.

    I sold my PSA 9 for $200. How the mighty have fallen....

    If you are talking about Hogan I bought my PSA 9 with a Lawler PSA 9 and the entire set for $200. Once I got the cards I was hooked!!

    I have certainly paid much more for cards after that.

    I will, but only if you post a different party picture of that hottie in the plastic pants. Agreed?

    Oh David, I've never lied about my fascination with plastic pants. Steve and Trent may have lied, but I never did.

    Well Dan that is good to know. The bottom line is something is better then nothing.


  • It's true, I love my plastiques.

    Morning,

    Actually those were three 10's, the only tens of two of the checklists at the time and sold to the guy who has the #1-#10 Three Stooges set and deeper pockets than grass has dirt. Marty Quinn sold those three and probably would have been happy with $10-$15 grand for the three. I have many Sales to the Buyer and he is a Class act!!

    Thanks
    Neil
    Actually Collect Non Sport, but am just so full of myself I post all over the place !!!!!!!

    He may have been the buyer of this card but someone on here said it was a fake market and it takes more then one buyer to create a market.

    I don't own any of these cards and never will but love seeing the high priced sale becuase it tells you that cards that are not just baseball, football etc. can have very high realized sales and stay that way.

    To make a link:

    There is a row of buttons in the "Message Text" window when you're replying to a thread. One of those buttons says "http". If you click that, you will be prompted to paste your link (URL) into that line. After hitting "OK", you will then be prompted to type in what text you want to show up for the link. Type in whatever you want, then click "OK" and you're all done.

    Same goes for posting pics... to the left of that "http" button is an icon of a picture frame. If you click on that, it will prompt you to paste the image's URL into that window. Click "OK" and it will insert the proper picture code so it shows up when you post it.

    I said it was a FALSE market . . . Not a FAKE market! And I also said that once the 13 sets of the market leader were filled, the market would drop significantly. Please, if you're going to regurgitate what I write, please try to keep it in context.

    I don't understand your fascination with trying to make it sound like someone stated that non-sport were worthless. You need to get out more.

    Okay dude.

    If this guy has as deep of pockets as I have been told, he may never stop buying them and the huge drp you predict may never happen.

    I'm pretty sure the guy who owns all the high end Stooges sets (he has like a dozen no?) is also one of the T206 leaders, is a millionaire and deals with antique dishes/pottery. His reason for doing the Stooges set was pretty funny, something like his son liked them when he was younger, not like he likes the cards or he himself likes the Stooges. He actually has a employee buy all this stuff.

    It's funny DPeck brought this up since it's probably the biggest example in PSA's history of one person inflating a market. There's been talk forever about whats going to happen to prices even if he sells a few of his sets. Also, do think that others know what he'll pay, artificially inflating the prices in the meantime (reasoning being it makes their cards more valuable).

    is kinda complex, no?

    if you own any Stooges which fall below the level at which the bazillionaire collects, who else will buy them?

    oversimplification of course.

    if one guy is buying up all the fancy buildings because he can afford to, that does not mean the market is suddenly red-hot for fancy buildings.

    in one guy is buying up all the club boxes for the local team's home games, but few other people show up, that does not make the team successful.

    see where i'm going with this?
