The fundamentals just were never there to me for this card in a PSA 10 to sell in the $700,000 Range. Now they’re selling under 300,000.

I’ve been saying this for months I don’t care what anyone says many sales in Jan-March were Fantasy.

It all felt manufactured/manipulated to me. It is not a 700K card nor is it a 300K card, imo. The 86 Jordan was not the only card which was selling for many multiples of what it had been in the previous year and most of those cards are coming back down to Earth too. I have to suspect there are some extraordinary paper losses mid June 2021 for the average collector.

Maybe some people entered into the situation expecting to take a large short term loss to offset other short term gains?

Agree it’s been my belief The Money Was Made on the Under Cards......Jordan’s a year or two later 87’s 88’s 89’s ect, onto, stickers,and mostly lower grades 7,8, and 9’s

See goldin auctions. I believe they had 36 86 fleer jordans, including stickers, in ONE auction. Who would think that was a good idea?

Use common sense

Why would wealthy, successful, presumably sophisticated businessmen pay sums for a card completely out of line with historical values and indeed any value to date? The card isn't even close to rare even in a 10, what were they thinking, or maybe in context it was chump change and they didn't care? It does seem a lot of people leave their senses and sophistication and critical thinking behind when it comes to cards.
