Here's the state of the hobby.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/22449097676...p2047675.l2557 Compare to two on Jan. 31 in Goldin at 738K each. Only a drop of 557K or whatever. Let's spin this one, shall we? Or did we (some of we) just get fooled yet again by sales talk, manipulation, and fraud?

I feel like investors in certain action houses from Dec-March may have pushed many cards to their limits hoping suckers came in and out bid them, if they didn’t they bought back the cards by splitting the cost amongst each other, often relisting them or fractionalizing them. Many bought into this Bs and believed the Uber inflated numbers as real sales remember think Rickey Henderson Rook Jordan Rookie many more. A raising tide raises all boats, only if you sold, did any of you guys get these numbers for your cards ?? Highly unlikely. It has been my belief these investors made their monies on the under cards same exact card a grade or two lower.

Yup

Current PSA 10 population = 318 Current PSA 9 population = 2787 Total current PSA population = 21,791 The highest sale as of January 2020 (1.5 years ago) was under 40K There have been 61 PSA 10 sales (according to PSA auction database) since January 2020 (I did not look for repeat sales on the same certs) There would in theory need to be 319 people willing to pay "market" price to maintain a particular value - I suspect we will see this card come down considerably more.

Howard yeah it's going to keep falling towards its "natural" level I think. A lot of folks out there who drastically overpaid, I think, believing the world was somehow very different now. We've seen this film before.

in talking to long time hobby friend(s) the last year or so while watching this crazy run up on many cards...the fleer jordan rookie was the one card mentioned the most as so common the prices would most definitely come plummeting back to earth.
With all the big $$$$$$ that has supposedly entered the hobby in the last year...investor athletes...mark cuban...the goldin tv deal, etc...it will be interesting to see what happens to the hobby in the next few years. One thing for sure...to me...is the window has closed atleast for now on the cazy easy money in the hobby...and there will be bunches of pissed off bag holders in the future who went crazy over modern...common cards.

I am suggesting your reaction to feel badly for the winner or winners may be wrong.

You said you'd like to have been one of the buyers so I was just trying to find out why.
It's true I may be wrong in feeling bad for the buyers, but I still do and think they got screwed. .

Golly...
He is talking about his industry... not about my hobby. He's talking about making money on cards... I like collecting cards from players of days gone by, making money on them isn't important. He wants new money buying cards, and then more new money buying cards and memorabilia, so everything is always costing more and more. And he seems to think that if he says something twice, that it's more believable. OR true. It is more believable. It is true. He is telling his truth, he told it twice. Twice! It's nuts. Pardon me while I have a sip of bottled water.
