Ken Goldin Video on State of the Hobby

[HistoricNewspapers]

While it would be pretty hard to argue against bidding shenanigans happening in some cases...the market has also legitimately risen in tandem.

PSA 7 Julius Erving rookies are still selling for $1,800 and they aren't rare at all. I've been looking to buy them back after I sold my basketball stuff in one of the the 'run ups' before 2009. I thought I did great back then...lol. Win some lose some.

I don't know if I will ever buy that card back now, or the Alcindor rookie which is insanely high priced in every grade, and on multiple venues with legit sellers too. I don't know if a real widespread drop will ever come back. There will always be isolated crazy price swings....and there will always be some auctions that slip through the cracks somehow like there always have been.

If there is a widespread group eating the fees or price manipulating on PSA 6 Julius Erving rookies for $1,000 a pop...cut this guy a break...I would like one back at the old prices

It will take a seismic society altering event to stop the overall tide at this point. Its summer and everyone is out of the house now...and all those cards I want back haven't moved much at all in price.

We must be looking at different cards. I am seeing "seismic" price drops.

The cards you mention are both softening. Be patient. Also a large difference between $1800 on a card you feel should be worth $600 and $700,000 on a card many feel is worth $40k.

I agree those Jordan 10's were crazy sale prices. They probably got caught up in the hysteria on those.

But I would argue that that hysteria (among others in other sports) is what lifted all the boats.

Hysterical crock regarding that ebay “glitch.” Does anyone really believe that? Guess some out there figured the final price was too low and now want a mulligan, so the price doesn’t make all those prior “sales” look like the puerile manipulation plays they were. And this collector doesn’t believe that AH post defending those Jordan sales for a second. These hustlers out there must think we all are uneducated or gullible or both. That said, I do believe many folks got swept up in the mania.

Maybe the card or slab was bad......idk

According to the PSA website, one of the PSA 10s is in the number one registry set which belongs to someone who may be wealthy by some standards but is certainly not famous. I suppose it's possible he consigned it and still hasn't removed it from his registry set.
