PSA 10s
Ricky Henderson PSA 10 bids are at $24,000?. Hunt auctions for that card.
I couldn't get $200 for mine. guess those buyers never heard of e bay. should have looked on e bay before I said this. guess I need to send some cards off to get graded?. really haven't been paying much attention to cards for awhile when I closed the store couldn't give them away. can anyone give me some info on what kind of discounts can I get on grading?. $30 bucks a card adds up fast.

70s and 80s cards
in 2002 I sold a PSA 10 Henderson rc for under $200. no I don't have one? from 1989 to 2003. I opened a card shop in the front of my office. just because I could. it never made any money I gave away more cards to kids than I sold. the one thing I did do a lot off was buy and open wax boxes.
cards like Henderson, Brett, Ripken, Montana and many other rcs that I do have multiples off. that i put straight from the pack to a holder. over the past 10 years i would have and did say to anyone that knows about the uncountable cards i have. that they are not worth what you think they are. i don't have one but a month ago i seen a Rose rc selling for $150,000? even then i had no idea Henderson was $125,000 didn't even think of looking. maybe with some grading luck that i have never had i do have a lot of pack fresh cards from the 70s and 80s that might be worth investing a couple bucks in grading fees. and with some grading luck maybe i got a $100,000 dollar card?. when I closed the store as many of you might remember Tuff Stuff magazine had a deal for 3 cards from BCCGS $10 bucks each. I sent a lot of cards off I never got a 10. I bought some. $200 for a high grade Ripken rc. was a good sale. I did get $750.00 for a 9.5 A.Rod die cut on e bay one of only a handful graded that high. hundred thousand maybe a mantle rc. I didn't have one still don't. Ricky who just saying they didn't sell. I now how hard it is to get a 10 when I had the store I told people you want a ten buy one . Last edited by minibatsman; 09-13-2016 at 01:08 PM. |

The market for vintage baseball cards in 2002 was completely different than it is today. The blue chip cards ('55 Topps Clemente, '52 Topps Mantle, '54 Topps Aaron, '51 Bowman Mays, to name a few) have seen their selling prices skyrocket.
I know it sucks to see a card you had selling for an astronomical amount, but every man that has collected cards seriously has witnessed something similar. "I couldn't get xx for xx card in xx, but now it's selling for xx". Or, "I should have bought xx in xx when it was selling for xx." And Rickey Henderson, in 2002, was still playing. Today, he's retired, and a Hall of Famer. I would also expect that PSA's grading standards are much more stringent today. Lots of factors go into what you're seeing.

traded to a dealer at a card show for these 7 1948 Leafs plus a few commons (NO SPs).... sure, they're not all beautiful (the Spahn has tape residue at corners on back as well as the corner clip) but to this day, I'm still happy I made the trade, as I still have them today - and RAW. never chased the set/never will, and the desire to upgrade just isn't there, and I'm happy they're still here! while there's plenty of stuff I sold or traded back in the day, I had a few of each of the above 54 Topps when I made the deal. I absolutely agree, Bill - and others - that we've all played the "shoulda/coulda/woulda" hindsight game at some point or another and more than likely will continue to do so as we see the prices skyrocket, but...

The oldest SMR I could quickly put my hands on was 2005. Henderson rookie was listed at $7,000. I'm sure I have a 2002 issue around somewhere, but the Henderson in 10 was always a pretty big deal and I know I would've gladly shelled out a lot more than $200 for one in 2002.

thanks, Bill (and others) - while the cards DO have their individual faults, my "they're not all beautiful" was in regards to the "PSA 10s" title of the thread - I'm more than happy with all/each of them, but wanted to stay as on topic as possible with the OP's theme.

As someone putting the 1980 set together in PSA 10 (about 40%), this makes me sad. I don't have $35,000 for one card. I have about 10 of them in 9's, and 4 of them I can't see anything wrong. I hate the crack and resub game. But for $35,000, I guess I can do it.

It's not worth it, Rob. If you're looking for the very best eye appeal humanly possible, a PSA 9 is more than good enough.
I think the whole registry game is ridiculous. It's a bunch of people showing off how much money they've spent. Because if you need an electron microscope to find a flaw in a PSA 9 that makes it inferior to a 10, you're doing it wrong. At that point, it becomes a registry score, and bragging rights are more important than the cards themselves. I'm building the 1975 Topps set in a PSA 8, and I'm completely happy with what I've got thus far. I look at a card like this... and I'm tickled pink. If one of the corners has the tiniest hint of white, or if the centering left to right is only 52/48....who cares? I could warp back to 1975, and open 1,000 packs trying to find this same card in that identical condition. I'm very happy to have what I do. It's just not worth obsessing over, to me.

i agree with everyone
would should could I agree with all of yall. if it wasn't for the 6 figure difference? I would trade a 10 Ricky for your 48s today nice cards. when I closed the store I really couldn't give them away. I did continue to pick up mainly older commons and have got major head aches digging through them in the past week. I had no idea the higher graded cards were going for so much. I got a box of graded 8 n 9s and some 10s Griffey, Favre, Smith. a Brett 9 rc. with others selling 30 of them on e bay I will just keep it. I am going to join PSA I got some 50 through 70s cards that I think are worth grading? never had much luck with grading. all this said I do feel better about the cards I do have than I have in years. I have always tried to build sets with little interest in graded cards. don't miss understand me I do like graded cards. I did find quite a few cards that given some time I could if anyone is interested be willing to do some trading to complete raw sets?

birthday sets I like that grading all those cards wow or searching the net for them sounds like a full time job. however you get it done good for you. I was going to send a 50 card set of 1925 cars off to be graded. PSA has never graded a single one of them. I guess I would make the registry? for a set that nobody really cares about. I am going to get it framed and matted it will look pretty nice on my wall. I was told 1925 nz ? I cant find them .
I got 39 boxing, plains, ships and train sets going to do every one the same way. take them out of boxes and books and enjoy them. Last edited by minibatsman; 09-23-2016 at 08:25 PM. |
