Well, with VintageBreaks cracking packs every week and people with 9s reviewing them annually, I wouldn't be shocked at all if we average a new 10 per year.
Surely the big buyers are tracking which ones exist. I am doing research now and will update:
001 - pulled by a guy who bought a few boxes off eBay in 2015.
002
003 - claimed to be seen here: http://www.hobbykings.com/forum/view...578&highlight=
004
005
006 - PSA Auth bought by Nat Turner for $350,000
007
008 - This one is claimed to be 008: http://truepowermartialarts.com/just...3%20Green.html
009
010

001 article

pictures of 001 and 006

There is another picture of a rainbow (base, red, and green all together) from before 2015. It could be 006, or it could be a different number, or it could theoretically be a fake.


When is the Mascot Dog Food Mantle going to resurface. If I had $50K in the bank last year, I would have bought that one to hold. Not sending that through PWCC did the owner a disservice, unless by choosing his own family's auctionhouse, he feels it was worth the additional advertising gained.

Edit: Haven't found any more, but will update if/when I hear of them. Sometimes this kind of stuff is treated as trade secrets, because it can influence prices of ones that do come to market. There are reported sales of them back when they first came out, but those may be lost to overzealous moms or ruined by attics.

John, it probably depends on whether PSA wants to grade more or not. Surely they have the pops in mind and aren't grading in a vacuum, IMO.

So it appears 4 of the 10 Jordan greens have been found. If/when the other 6 are discovered, how much do you think this will affect the price of the current 4 discovered?

[swarmee]

It may not affect the price much at all. Market demand is much higher than possible supply. If 3 come to market this year maybe. If they come out every five years, it gives a bunch of new collectors the chance to dream about it, earn their millions, and place a bid next time.

An underdiscussed part of this is there’s a fella out there who bid $349k or whatever for the Jordan and didn’t get it.

I feel terrible for that guy.

If you want a card you gotta man up.

Please explain how someone didn't get a card, was that the high bid?

I honestly only read this thread for the humor.

The underbidders never get the card unfortunately. I've been there myself once or twice. Winning bid was just over 350k.

I hope there's more to that set. Boxes go for well over $2k
