I suppose even with the knowledge of another 7-800 out there, if they disappear from sight and mind for several years, that might help hold the value.

I personally never cared enough about errors to chase them and this is one card I would have tried to sell for as much as I could if I ended up with one (or more).
He has never stopped listing them. When you see $35-50 BINs in completed listings, they’re his. Same for the glut of PSA 9 and 10s sold the last few years.

When this info came about, I was put in contact with him and I explained that if he were smart, he’d be very patient with them. But he had been told by others that they would be worth $400 a piece so he started listing immediately. I believe a while back he even listed lots of 5, 10 at a time. I spent a good amount of time trying to help him understand this card and what his find meant for its value but he wasn’t particularly interested in anything other than it being 800 $400 cards in his hands.
