Yes, and when someone finds another 10 in a book somewhere your investment may look like a NY taxi medallion the day Uber showed up. Through the floor.

Ask the buyer of the only PSA 10 Wayne Gretzky how they feel about their purchase at 94k. Was ridiculed to no end online at the time for sure.

Fast forward and card sells for 465k.

Not everyone views their cards or collection as an "investment," and ties pleasure to what they are worth.

If one's card collecting hobby includes waiting or hoping for another Rose PSA 10 to get graded to indulge in some schadenfreude, one really needs to look inward and get rid of that bitterness and bile. I personally suggest yoga and lots of time on the beach

Not rooting for anyone's card to go down in price. Not sure why you read that into my comment. Just stating the obvious: there is a lot more undiscovered recent cards than old ones. Any if you think someone spending 700,000 on a card is not a speculator for profit I disagree.

I think anyone dropping that kind of cash on a piece of cardboard certainly doesn't want to see it decline in value. If it does perhaps it has no impact on them financially but they won't like it that is for sure.

Yeah I did not read that you were rooting either. The OP is way off base. Guess he does not recognize that population figures on cards never get smaller.

This hobby is so stupid. And it doesn't only deal with graded cards but also bats. A PSA Rose Rookie card graded a 10 sells for $700,000 while a PSA 9 sold for $19,000. Guess what, they looked the same. But nope, lets spent 680,000 more for a 10.

Brock, I totally agree with you on the PSA grade from 10 to 9 and the ridiculous prices. I always thought the most stupid thing to buy was a baseball graded by PSA. Since baseballs tone over time and discolor, you could buy a PSA 10 and 2 years later the ball has brown spots so the guy that bought it lists it as a PSA 10 which it clearly is not so it's like false advertisment and then you get the idiot buying it cause it is a 10. Makes no sense buying a graded baseball but people do because they they are obsessed with a number.

Where do you think you can get a PSA 9 Mint 1963 Topps Pete Rose rookie for $19,000????

Try $100k plus.

That explains it.. lol

Either way, still a huge difference between 717K and 191K for two cards that look alike.
