I've seen quite a few 9s and most have a visible flaw. I've even owned a couple. I have only seen a couple of 10s but could see the difference. As opposed to say an 89 ud Griffey where if you covered up the flip I would not be able to tell the difference between most 9s and 10s.

Can Brent or Courtney (or anyone familiar with buyer or seller) confirm if this was a true real sale or not?

Would you expect Brent to acknowledge it if it wasn't?

I doubt Cortney has anything to do with it.

Interesting. I guess the concept of a mint card with a visible flaw still eludes me. If you can see corner wear, or maybe surface scratches which are common for this issue, shouldn't it be less than Mint?

Yea minor, but visible. I get the argument that the small flaw shouldnt take it from a card worth 500, or even 5k, up to 100k. But that card in a 10 has been an iconic and expensive card for a while now, although I believe most sales over the past few years have been in the 30-50k range.

There is currently a psa 10 1993 so jeter has n EBay right now with a bin 125k

I was looking at buying a unopened box @ Memory Lane last night, place a bid under the 'market rate' and still got outbid. Dang! People are definitely wanting these. No bargain deal to be had. I mean, you can buy them on Ebay for 2k-2200, and they end up paying 2336.40 +s/h

I saw the guy on PSA boards open his box and got 2 Jeters.

It makes no economic sense. Based on pop report only 1 in 20 Jeters is even going to get a 9.

[pawpawdiv9]

+100 Totally agree.
You have to pull a '9' just to break even.
Talks about more folks ripping and submitting more 8-9's is probable.
And as mentioned, it floods the market on those and hypothetically may raise the value on 10's.
But realistically?? Just DONT OPEN IT!!!
Put it in a box and store it in a closet/hidden place.

True, and that's 1 in 20 of those someone thought was worth submitting.

I opened an SP box 2 years ago. 0 Jeters. So theres that too.

Best I got was a 9 on Johnny Damon and Chipper Jones. The boxes
were going for about 1200 then. I recouped about 400. If anyone is
going to open a box, just know that it could be a TOTAL economic loss.

As I understand things the card stock (which sticks together) and the packaging make it most unlikely that a 10 can be pulled from unopened.

I like Jeter. Think he played the game the right way. But the love fest that the modern fan has with the guy makes me scratch my head. And $100,000 for a non autographed rookie is the height of insanity. I don't care what the grade is.

He got 3,000 hits, so he should be in the Hall. But outside of hitting for average (.310 is good, I will give him that), tell me what Derek Jeter did that was exceptional?

Article mentions name of buyer.

I noticed that one of the underbidders had 14 retractions. To me that's never a good sign. Do you think that this had any impact on the closing price?
