I say cash in while the cash is available!

If I had one, I'd be selling it and using the money for something else that I really wanted. Makes perfect sense, sell an Evans and get a WaJo or Young or Matty or ?

Here's a question for those of you that sold one on eBay:

Have you received your payout from eBay yet?

I want to believe this is real; however, there's definitely something highly unusual about all of this.

For items that go through the eBay authentication process, eBay collects payment from the buyer and holds the payment until the item passes authentication. All Evans cards sold at these prices will go through authentication.

In my case, I can see that the buyer has paid and my card is en route to PSA for authentication. If it fails auth, the buyer is refunded and the card returned to me. If it passes, the hold on the funds is released an available to me.

TLDR: have not received my funds yet but it is visible that the buyer has paid for the card

Yes. Mine sold for $150 (no authentication needed) in late Oct and I received the payment soon after.

According to the seller it’s missing the red and the seller claims it’s one of one

It is sold now, but it appears the red may have just been sun or glue (no reverse photos) faded. You can see a faint area where it once was applied.

Just had a look on 130point and the sales are insane… never seen sales like it for one specific card in this short amount of time.

Apparently it sold for $10500

I find this incredibly frustrating. One because i don’t have an Evan’s to cash in with, and now there is yet a new card that will likely cost me thousands in order to finish the 520.

This may be the event that ultimately makes me quit this effort. What a racket.

This is very unlikely to last for long or create a long term headache.

[RCMcKenzie]

I don't think Bartirome or Titus have ever fully recovered. They are overpriced to this day, and their sales were a gradual auction run-up situation. I don't remember board members listing a sun-faded Titus worth $150 for $19,000 on eBay and haggling it down for $10,500 on the same day.

[PreWarCollector]

there's no way this keeps up, the entire Evans market collapses when this buyer gets enough. I guess he might have just won the lottery and will keep this up forever, but at this rate he'll need hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy up enough to corner the market.

[RCMcKenzie]

For example, no way I'm selling my crummy, low-grade Evans right now. I will always view the card differently. It's a special card now, like an m116 Wagner, or a Lou Gehrig postcard rookie.

I wouldn't worry about it long-term, though I'd just put it on the back burner for now. You could also just check for his cards more often, because some are likely going to slip through the cracks from people who don't know.

This collector might have endless amounts of money, but getting enough of these cards that they are harder to find than cards like O'Hara and Demmitt would take years to do. The price will then eventually settle down. Maybe you have to pay more than you would have two months ago, but it's not going to be crazy.

You most likely will never finish this set anyway.
The big 4 are impossible.
Enjoy the ride. Once this guy gets his fill the price will come back to normal. No one else will pay these crazy prices.

Thanks for the encouragement! I thought 520 was attainable? I’m not going for Honus Wagner…
