Black swamp Cy Young

[JoeyF1981]

Was surprised to see the Black Swamp Cy Young PSA 8 sold for $3800 lastnight (PWCC). Looked at the previous sale of it from mile high which was $5200. Looks like somebody got a pretty good deal

Or price was what it should have been.

I was about to agree with you, but a little more investigating revealed that considering on 5/6/12 a Memory Lane auction of a PSA 5 sold for $3,163.02 I tend to agree with the OP'er that someone got a pretty great deal on this one all facts considered.

I am certain that some of it has to do with some sort of PWCC backlash. Alot of people see these grossly obscene prices that some of these cards get for what they are. They see PWCC, and figure, I might as well not bid, as it is going to go stupid high anyway. That is my 2 cents anyway.

meh...high grade e98's are a dime a dozen!

[ullmandds]

AND...it's not even Cy Young to boot?!?!? So IMHO...4K for the type that says "cy young" attached to a pic of Irv...is kind of a ripoff!!!

I think the Swamp E98s are overpriced based on availability (now) and demand. Just wait until the rest of them make their way in to the hobby.
I still think most collectors are satisfied with a nice PSA 4 or 5 and won't pay the exorbitant amounts for one of the PSA 8s and 9s.

Not sold on Black Swamp cards, they look too new with name and team font awfully dark and black like recently printed. I won't touch them.

Maybe we should just take PSA's word for it.

I once heard that I could get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it.

Nice 'Tommy Boy' reference
