Did anyone else notice the high Greg Bussineau prices last night??

..and right before the Nationals too!! I'm guessing we are in a bull card market?? The one that really shocked me was this one. Over $4,000 for three cards that didn't get a number grade - Authentic only!!

not shocking at all! get one of these 3 to cross over to psa with a #...and you've got a major league profit! i'd almost guess this is the motivation/goal here...and I would not be surprised if they succeed!

GregB is one site i like bidding on every time it comes up. I also placed a few bids here as well. (same as Hunt). RC's of Jackie Robinson 48-49 leaf SGC 50 was NICE!!! i placed several bids on it.
Also, they had a nice centered Mays RC too. Between Hunt and GregB, they had 2 nice centered Mays RC's

Actually these same 3 cards sold in the recent REA auction for over $6500: Link. So this is actually a drop in price. I also assume that after the consignor to this auction purchased those cards, he determined that the trim was too noticeable to be able to receive a number grade if he cracked out.

Sometimes the candy, sometimes the wrapper. And so it goes . . .

Good eyes Gary. I would have liked the Sport Kings Ruth, but I have a $1,000 value on it. I would have sold off the other two to defray the costs. However, I don't see the other two pulling $1,000 each, as I had a similar Authentic Gehrig and it only got $650 for it.

Maybe the buyer will try to sell them raw as mint cards.
