I know that REA produces some eye popping prices, but the Bond Bread portrait of Jackie Robinson keeps going up and up -- $14,400 in PSA 6 and $5,100 in PSA 3. :eek:

Server sabotage by Russian trolls in St. Petersburg? An auction house's worst nightmare.

Anyhow, you're comparing a PSA 9 to a PSA 6. A PSA 9 BB Portrait does not exist. There are 3 PSA 8s which would surely produce eye-popping numbers should they come up for sale. In comparing a PSA 6 Leaf vs. PSA 6 BB, the numbers are a lot closer, and the BB outperformed recent Leaf sales. PSA 6 Bond Bread = $14,400 Last 5 PSA 6 Leaf sales = $9,300; $9,485; $11,400; $10,300; $9,600. A PSA 6 Leaf with excellent centering did sell for $16,156.00 about 13-14 months ago. |

$14400 > $9300 Yes... REA does get a premium... so let's compare sales from this particular REA auction. Bond Bread PSA 4 sold for $5100. Leaf PSA 5 sold for $4800. $5100 > $4800 Nobody is taking anything away from the Leaf issue. It is easily one of Jackie's most iconic issues. I am glad to have one in my collection. That being said, the BB issue has experienced a meteoric rise this year, similar to what the market recently saw with other iconic cards. This makes it hard to go by the previous sales of $6100 and $5900 (which were also big jumps). It has been on a continuously upward trajectory, whether you want to admit that or not. |

Even if a card was only distributed in limited locations during a rookie year, whose to say that it's not a rookie year card? Let's keep it simple: if a card was distributed in the player's first year, it's a rookie year card, regardless of the size of the issue (lou gehrig 1925 exhibit is an oversized issue but that shouldn't mean it's not his rookie year card) or how many locations it was distributed in. |
Well put James!

Not every player has a rookie card.

I think this is hilarious. Ten years ago very few people cared about these cards. All of a sudden someone calls it a rookie card and now people are tripping over themselves and apparently paying six figures for the card. Sometimes I think cards should come with warning labels.

Reminds me of the T205 Matty Cycle back 37-1, was no big deal until it was auctioned off with misleading information about how tough they were. From that point on people have been paying a huge premium for the card. All it seems to take is the right person to give out some information and "Boom Goes the Dynamite" :-). As as the buyers are happy that is all that counts.

With each of those players, there is an element of intrigue that transcends the sport. With that, there has always been a premium placed on rookie cards. |

Ten years ago, a renowned movie director with unlimited connections sought out these cards... and couldn't put together a complete set (He got 12 out of the 13). One of the biggest whales in the hobby spent 6 years during that time period trying to complete his first complete set. It is one of the few items he kept after selling much of his collection. It was only a matter of time before the card / set got noticed by "mainstream collectors." I wish I had held onto the cards I sold. |
Alfred Hitchcock? No wait, he's dead. Steven Spielberg?

I thought the recent Kareem Abdul Jabbar auction at Golden was very instructive. An iconic figure who made a tremendous impact on his sport. Seemed to me that there was pretty muted demand for his stuff. Many items had one bid last time I looked at that auction (now closed). Hell, a week before it closed a ton of his stuff had zero bids. Yet people will pay $30,000 for a basketball card of a player frankly I have never heard of. I guess to each his own. |
Abdul Jabbar sold a lot of middling stuff.

Wow! That was fast
