I paid $30 for one of the PSA 2's that got put up for sale.

Very rare, not very valuable.

Didn’t mean to come across like I won the lottery fellas. . I was thinking $1k maybe? That’s just a guess. Could be way more or way less

It's hard to value anything rare that hasn't sold in the past year or so. The entire vintage market has escalated even if it's cooled in some areas.

Getting a gauge on the current value of a 54 Ernie Banks or a 33 Goudey Ruth in any almost any condition except the best is easy, but you got a rare card of a highly collected player in a still hot vintage market.

If you find the right eyeballs with the right wallets in the right place and time things can get fun. You never know when you're going to luck into a weird bidding war as a seller.

There's also one with number that sold on ebay for a 450 buy it now. I agree that a low starting bid auction would get a true value, but do it somewhere where it would get a lot of eyeballs. If you try to list it yourself it might end up cheap, but somebody who has a good following might get a lot more. All it takes is 2 people who want it.
