Seeing Red At The Price of High Grade T 210s

[Archive]

Posted By: bruce Dorskind

Although we have long been advocates of focusing one's collection on high
grade cards, we find it remarkable that the prices for T and E issues
(other than T 201, T 202, T206, T 207 and E 90, E 91, E 92 and E 145) have
soared to record breaking levels nearly every time a PSA 5,6 or 7 example,
not to mention ultra rare PSA 8 and PSA 9 cards, appear at public auction.

Slightly less than 500 T 210's have been graded by PSA. Only 17% of those
cards have been graded 5 and above.

Even so, we find it remarkable that more than 5 hours prior to the closing of
an auction for T 210 Series 6 in PSA 5, the card is at nearly $1000.00

With so few cards in PSA 5 and above, only one or two collectors will have
any shot at completing a ranked registered set.

We are certainly beginning to wonder if the sky is truly the limit for high grade
and high grade D. E. and T cards.
