If you ever wondered if Probstein has a following.......

MBMiller25 · February 7, 2012 12:03AM

Check out the 86 PSA 9 Jordan auction closing tonight. That's going to be one pleased consigner!

Garabaldi · February 7, 2012 12:12AM

$2225 for a PSA9?

fiveniner · February 7, 2012 12:13AM

I will tell you one thing! He is #1 in my book.He has sold for me with good results and great service.

jwgators · February 7, 2012 12:18AM

Isn't that nearly twice the market rate? Seems weird or just dumb.

MBMiller25 · February 7, 2012 12:20AM

PSA 9's typically sell for $1300-$1450 for the last year or so.

ga5150 · February 7, 2012 12:22AM

631 views and 98 watchers

jeffcbay · February 7, 2012 12:26AM

That's a great looking 9.

soundgard · February 7, 2012 12:34AM

<< That's a great looking 9. >>

But not worth over 2 grand.

bobbyw8469 · February 7, 2012 12:39AM

Yea....I dont get it.....In addition to "Buy the card - NOT the flip", I guess you need to add "Buy the card - NOT the seller"!!

DWest · February 7, 2012 12:44AM

Fairly certain part of the price increase is based on the condition of the card. Probably a few speculators thinking it's worthy of a 10.

pmcollectour · February 7, 2012 1:23AM

Did the high bidders inform you of this ? How can you be fairly certain ?

Look at the card... No body has to inform someone of an opinion.

itzagoner · February 7, 2012 1:25AM

i couldn't see that card in a 10 holder. or even a BVG with highest subgrades.

great centering, though.

Brick · February 7, 2012 1:44AM

My initial thought was someone was going to play a dangerous game of crack and submit or at least in for review. I think that is a fair assumption. Of course no one can really 100% know, after all, nothing is certain except death and taxes. But when you think of it there are over 7 Billion people on earth who have never died, and half of Americans don't have to pay taxes so I guess we actually know nothing.

Because I have eyes, common sense and the power of deductive reasoning. I'm just awesome that way.

wow. thanks for clarifying everything for me.

Reljac · February 7, 2012 2:09AM

with all the scum and scammers on the bay, I'm sure plenty of bidders/buyers would rather just know what they were dealing with and are willing to pay for it.

flatfoot816 · February 7, 2012 2:13AM

Selling a grossly overpriced auction item and getting paid for it (on eBay) are completely different.

+1

stangrider · February 7, 2012 3:06AM

am I the only one who see the giant gap in the PSA holder. The card doesn't even get close to filling the holder.

jwgators · February 7, 2012 3:55AM

It looks like the same bidder is the high bidder on this PSA 9 Jordan. Link

sportscardtheory · February 7, 2012 4:20AM

It's probably a buyer for 4sharpcorners. They probably buy tons of PSA 9s and resubmit them for bumps to 10's because they get preferential treatment on grades. Why WOULDN'T they do that.

SOM · February 7, 2012 4:52AM

The stock market is off to a great start this year. Pent up demand. Same as cards, I guess.

ThoseBackPages · February 7, 2012 5:29AM

As someone that has bought from Rick for years now, it was MUCH better (read:cheaper lol) buying from him back when he was less famous

miconelegacy · February 7, 2012 5:50AM

<< The stock market is off to a great start this year. Pent up demand. Same as cards, I guess. >>

Best answer of the day...

Treetop · February 7, 2012 6:05AM

Nothing against Rick, but how does two bidders bidding on one card translate into Prostein has a following..

vladguerrero · February 7, 2012 6:53AM

<< am I the only one who see the giant gap in the PSA holder. The card doesn't even get close to filling the holder. >>

someone gave it a flat-top haircut.

Suneel4Cash · February 7, 2012 7:22AM

Have I ever wondered if Probstein has a following?

All I have to do is tune in here and there's a line out the door waiting to give him a lap dance.

Alfonz24 · February 7, 2012 7:44AM

I would not give him a lap dance, but a motorboat with my manboobs

JMDVM · February 7, 2012 7:57AM

How does Rich prevent consignors from bidding on their own items to drive up prices?

Suneel4Cash · February 7, 2012 8:00AM

<< How does Rich prevent consignors from bidding on their own items to drive up prices? >>

Probably cant prevent it, but i want to know if he has ever pulled off a listing because of the owner was shilling?

mmk probably not.

WinPitcher · February 7, 2012 8:10AM

This has now reached potential status.

Slightly above average.

Suneel4Cash · February 7, 2012 8:18AM

no idea what you just said. winpitcher always spekin in code.

My deductive reasoning says that I'm fairly certain that anyone justifying the ridiculous price on this auction has skin in the game,

I have my doubts about the first two, but you've got me convinced on that last one.

handyman · February 7, 2012 8:56AM

Must be because he took 4 pics of the card and not just 1.

leathtech · February 7, 2012 10:05AM

I'll sell my PSA 9 Jordan for 2k even if anyone really wants it

Stone193 · February 7, 2012 11:26AM

What's the average price on a 9?

Wow - that's a lot of money!

Meatloaf · February 7, 2012 1:35PM

Everyone is so focused on the present. VCP this, VCP that, recent closed listings this, recent closed listings that, etc. This card is iconic....the buyer is looking into the future....when the economy is back and may be MJ passes away....then people pay more....may be way more than now...it is all speculation on the buyer's part...I wouldn't be a hater. You get what you pay for....and that is what the buyer is doing.

WinPitcher · February 7, 2012 1:37PM

I get a kick out of those that insist on paying VCP average.

There is an 'average' for a reason.

prthd · February 7, 2012 1:47PM

No offense to Probstein, hes just making his cabbage. 2G is alot of money, and for 2G+ I want a card 50/50. Its not even close. I think the card in general is undervalued in a 9, but 2G+ for one thats not centered is nuts.

Probstein123 · February 7, 2012 2:22PM

overall , i think the industry is starting to show some strength...

here is a prime example....

$6,866.66

cardbender · February 7, 2012 4:15PM

That's a lot of cheese for an 80's card. Maybe the Ozzie RC PSA 10 buyer is into hoops cards now.

Nice sale Rick!!

MJ turns 49 in nine days.

nightcrawler · February 7, 2012 6:39PM

I've also bid well above VCP on several Probstien auctions.

Am I a follower,.. whatever, ya.

Won't be long before I'm a consigner I'm thinking.

swartz1 · July 9, 2012 3:08AM

definitely has a following...

not even listed correctly and still gets bids!!!

pretty sure the buyer knew what he/she was buying...

Auction Link

ClockworkAngel · July 9, 2012 3:47AM

why in the world would anyone spend an extra $800 just because of the seller?

Sure, there are scammers out there but if you have a seller with 100% feedback and it's fairly high I think you're safe...?

If you ever wondered if Probstein has a following.......
