Default Any SCD prices that are too high?

Posted By: Glen V

OK, so there are plenty of deals in the price guide. Are there any prices which you think are well over market value?

If you're talking about the entire book, about 90 percent of the 'high book' prices are too high. But that's they way it's always been for all price guides.

There probably aren't many, if any, vintage cards that are overvalued. But...I am sure 99% of the modern cards are overvalued, especially anything made after 1980.

With desirable Pre-War cards and rare Pre 1960 Odd Balls, I have found that real low grade (rough but not repulsive) cards sell at a higher percentage of book (for condition) than high grade cards (I don't deal with graded cards, so I'm not talking about PSA 10 or crap like that). Most collectors would love to own a Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb. While few collectors can afford a $2,000 or even $500 Ruth, they join the hunt when a low grade example comes up. Same rules go for T206s. Few average collectors are going to pay book for an ExMt common, but will pay above book for decent looking grade Good or Fair example.

David - Agree with your statements. I will pay a little more for a good looking good or good+ card. The reason for this is that I'm not a condition sensitive collector per say. Also, when putting together sets, I find that I'll usually have purchased at least one or two HOFer's that I bought believing were vg and I find that after removing from whatever its in, I find there are 3-4 light creases or other problems. So I figure I'm better off just buying a nice looking G+ card in the first place. Its also a way to avoid paying a lot for commons that you have no interest in other than completing the set. The lower grade cards are out there, it just takes some patience. A good example is an VG E96 Rucker I saw at the National, dealer wanted $75 for it - even after I purchased two HOF'ers from him (one of which wasn't as VG+ as he had indicated) - earlier this month I got Rucker in G condition along with 7 other cards for $70. I'm very happy I waited and I believe there are many other collectors that feel the same way. Whats the difference between a nice looking Good card and a VG card to a collector - usually its only the price.
