I tend to think so. Consider this�. You want a 1933 Goudey Ruth, card 144, graded 7. You have the means to buy it (it�s a 6 figure card). I don�t think in this day and age you could buy that card privately. I think most collectors and sellers see the auction house prices and are automatically drawn to them.

Now maybe the above card example is extreme, but I think it goes for higher end cards closer to that 10k mark as well. Am I way off base here? I would love to hear thoughts/experiences on this topic.

High end cards are VERY available privately including a PSA 8 Ruth (see attached scan). You can see a bunch of other cards for sale here:

Contact me to discuss details once you have selected the one(s) you want.

I am actively buying and selling vintage sports cards graded and raw. Feedback as a buyer: https://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=297262

I am accepting select private consignments of quality vintage cards (raw or graded) and collecting "want" lists for higher end ($1K+) vintage cards.
