The greater fool theory

I'm unsure if it counts, because the card itself has not yet sold, but there is a PSA 10 Johnny Bench rookie on eBay, asking for 75k. It is my understanding that would be far and away a record price, should the card indeed sell at that price point.

I received an offer for my sgc 7 clemente of 8,000. I believe this was a real offer. Since I bought it in 2007 for 2500, this would be a huge profit, but not earth shattering.

The 10 and some of the 9s (and even 8s on a few cards) pricing doesn't shock me but pricing on 7 Rose ND RYAN AND 5-6 CLEMENTE ROOKIES is what is amazing to me and can't last. The high grade market can honestly stay at these levels but the mid grade stuff can't in my honest opinion.

I agree. The 10's and 9's have always drawn sometimes insane money. But for everyone out there just trying to complete a set, if the 5's and 6's start going crazy, it's going to be hard to afford to be a set collector.

says the 51 willie mays 6 that just hit $15k...

truth is no one in this room knows whats gonna happen.

each and every card is independent.

even from itself.

even in a comparable grade.

yes, not even all 6s are created the same.

"even beutiful 2s command respect", says the 52 mays thread.

eBay mays rookie is about to end psa 3 is at 2550 ! I don't know if this is a record but it seems high for a psa 3 .

He could ask 1.2 mil for it but no it doesn't count unless it's actually sold for that amount.

Edit: if you meant just to point out crazy prices then yes that could count, as would many other ebay listings.

Hi pokerply,

I agree with you completely. And yes, I was hoping to illustrate the various jumps in increase in eBay asking prices.

Best always,
