How to put cash value on cards

Sometimes if you want a rare card� A card with very few comps, but rarely comes up for sale.� You just have to bend over and take it like a man!!!

Or get very lucky on the price! I am pretty sure I overpaid for a T206 Lundgren, but at the same time snagged a T206 Demmitt St. Louis that will grade at a 2 for 4k, when I hesitated on here for one at 6200. Timing and patience!

I had to overpay a few times, but still did not feel like I got hosed.

Currently I am looking for a card that has several easily available, but way overpriced. For that card, every time I see it relisted, I contact the seller and let them know what I would offer a fair price since it did not sell.

They usually do not reply, or reply saying they already have more than that into the card.

I just checked the card out on VCP. There are few recent comps aside from the one DJ pointed out and an SGC 2.5 for $45 in early 2000. If you ask me, the PSA 5 that DJ posted isn�t worth anywhere close to $400- that card did not double in 1.5 years - so no way a lesser card is worth anywhere close to that.

All that said, sometimes you just totally overpay if you just gotta have it. In my experience, every time I do that, another turns up shortly after and sells for much less than I paid!
