Wrong forum. They're dying for posts over in the basketball area.

I thought about moving this over there but didn't think it would be fair.

That being said, I say we try to be a bit more on topic for a few days (myself included, I know I can stray too) on the main forum. Thanks everyone (and me).
And yes, it seems almost all early sportscards from the 1950s-1970s, in top grade, are doing very well.

Pop 1 of a RC of one of the all time greats. I'm surprised some of these cards, like the Ryan and Rose up at Heritage, don't go for even more. This card might never hit the market again in a 10, or if it does it could be years or decades down the road. For those that have a net worth of 100s of millions, a few hundred grand to own the best example of a card in existence is just a drop in the bucket.

Would it make mathematic sense to buy 5 or more 9s and send em all in for a 2nd look? Would the odds of making a few $100k be very strong ?

Thats a strategy that I have heard works for some. At $700 per card for grading fees it can be expensive. But if you get one to bump that covers a lot of submissions. Assuming you could sell the 9s for what you have in them after I could see it paying off in the long run.

I'd like to ask the guy who consigned the 100 PSA 9 Henderson lot on Heritage if he got any to bump. It would have only taken 1 for that venture to have paid off.
