Before and After

Peter_Spaeth · #1 04-08-2021, 02:47 PM

IMO in soccer we've seen a synergy of a general market upsurge at least in rookie cards, and a soccer boom. If certain sales can be taken at face value, I have a few cards that have gone up by 10x, 20x or even more since I bought them mostly 2-3 years ago.

1976 PSA 8 Walter Payton (R)
Jan 2020 - $630
April 2021 - $1850

Of course I unloaded several the Summer "before" and felt good about it at the time. Not sure what to think now other than thank goodness I had not sold a Mint Gretzky back in Dec 2019.

Sounds like allot of people on here are going to do pretty well with their pre established collections. So enjoy it.

Only counts if you sell 'em. Otherwise it's just good talk over drinks.

Pele was sold by Goldin and Gretzky by Lelands. Tyson was not sold by a major seller and Pacman was PWCC.

Congratulations. You are paper rich. I think most of us can relate.

How about one with a qualifier?

1972 Topps Wilt Chamberlain PSA 9 OC:

1. January 2019 - $179.50
2. March 2021 - $759

On a bit of a side note, the 1/19 sale was probably/definitely(?) before ebay started collecting sales tax, so another 60+ dollars would've accompanied the 3/21 price.

I bought the complete set with the Clay panel slabbed as a PSA 1 a couple of year ago. I think it was like $500. Sold it on eBay recently for $8200.

Nice! Might have to get mine over to PSA, er, nevermind.

I don't think you can really go too far wrong holding onto early Clay cards if you got into them several years ago. It isn't like he's gonna tear up his shoulder or beat his wife...

I won an auction for 4 of the UK Traditions Lionel Messi cards last February for $48 (total) and auctioned them off individually over the last last six months for an average of $1000, so from $12 to $1000 each, which is an increase of 8233% if my math is right.
