Looking at the PSA Auction Prices Realized site, four PSA 7s sold (I assume on eBay) this year:
May 23, 2025 eBay Auction 07008723 7 $5,300.00
May 17, 2025 eBay Auction 06280652 7 $4,700.00
Feb 4, 2025 eBay Auction 20692694 7 $3,950.00
Jan 16, 2025 eBay Auction 40856438 7 $1,225.00
Based on this limited data, the card/grade continues to trend upwards, and the buyer bought the one in question for $400 more than the highest price AND that amount doesn't take into account the (I assume) massive grading fees to come.
The only logical conclusion that makes sense is the buyer must truly believe he'll be looking at a PSA 8.
With a PSA 7 (and perhaps a little time), he'll basically break even.
Anything lower than a PSA 7?? Bend over, baby!!
It's just more gambling, like everything else surrounding baseball.
