Common SGC 50 Cycle 460 just went for $400. I thought it was high at $200 with a day left to go. Shows what I know haha.

I was going to post this exact same auction after I watched it end for over $400. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what it went for.

Anyone have any explanation for this? Looks like it went for double of what it seems like it should go for.

How/where do you come up with what a card "should" go for? I know the back multiplier x (what) player bla bla bla but that just seems to be way off. Is it just watching the market on previous cards or.....

From previous sales. I guess in reality any card could reach any amount depending on who wants the card bad enough. Going off of the rarity of the back, the demand isn't crazy enough to reach the $400 plateau. It does seem that a good deal of 206's have picked up a lot of steam lately and are going for 20% more than they went for six months ago! Those rediculous BIN prices on Ebay are starting to be the real sale prices!

Come to think of it Reg, maybe it is rare to find a Cycle 460 in a '4' grade or higher...that in itself could push the price sky high...these types of variables cannot be 'looked up' as far as price goes, but will only be determined by the bidder's desire to pay up!

Thanks! This is more of what I was thinking, if it's a "rare" back and it's the highest "know" grade of that back and card it's pretty much a guessing game??? It just depends on how bad you want it.

Interesting thought.....so I just looked up my Cycle 460 Mike Donlin (with Bat)in SGC60 on their Population Report. They don't distinguish between Cycle 350 and Cycle 460, so it's difficult to tell, but their is only 1 Cycle Mike Donlin graded higher than my SGC60. It may be a Cycle 350, but who knows.

What do you guys think a Cycle 460 Mike Donlin (with Bat) in SGC60 would bring today?

Yeah, I was going to start a new thread on this Cycle 460 card that went for $400+. That was shocking to me. I only have one Cycle 460 (Mike Donlin) in SGC60 (one grade higher) and I got it a few years ago for less than $200.

WOW!
