Sorry Leon you have to buy it on your own

Would give everything up for 1 but would still fall way way to short

6.6 million is my guess.

Would you really give up everything in your collection for one card?

What does everyone think the reserve is? If it’s posted somewhere, I missed it.

Hi

I love my collection and I have been consolidating down for a few years to have fewer cards and higher quality/rarity.
But for the Holy Grail I would gladly trade/sell them all for 1.
But reality is will not happen because my cards may/may not have some value but no where close to what I would need
So I will just enjoy what I got and continue on my addiction (I mean mission) and enjoy my collection

As for the reserve I do not know how it works on Goldin. I like HA Where it tells you the reserve 3 days before.

People act like this sale is somehow indicative of a healthy market for vintage. I don’t see it. Card is probably being bought by some well heeled investors group that doesn’t care much about the “asset” they are buying. Just confident they can turn a profit when they sell it in a few years. Goldin has clearly corners the market on well heeled investors.

No sale. Top bid of $4.15 million. What does Ken Goldin blame it on? Fanatics Fest? Bombing of Iran?

I know I'm in the minority here, but I don't get why this was ever expected to be a $ 5-6 MM card.

That situation at the top border could've easily tipped it from barely a PSA 1 to an A. And then 4.15 million would've seemed like a healthy enough bid.

So this doesn't seem like anything wrong with the marketplace. More like a typical buy the card, not the grade.

4 million plus seems like a solid price to pay for a 1...this coming from someone who is not in the market for one. Most bidders do not love the concept of a reserve, hidden or otherwise. And while I get that the consignor preferred one be used, they might have cost themselves a sale unless of course they told Ken, I need X mil or I am not a seller.

One has to wonder if the top bids were even from the public or internal bids trying to get action on the card and to drive it to where the reserve was met.

Sale or no sale it was good PR for the house.

Ryan’s card, Ryan’s choice. If it goes up from here it was a good decision, if not it wasn’t.
