I expected to see more of a jump in LeBron's stuff after the Heat won and he got another Finals MVP, but to my surprise, I'd say at the most there was a 10-15% increase, if that on most of all his Rookie Cards and Autographs...
Did anyone else find this surprising? I bought a ton of his Topps Chrome stuff (BGS 9 Base for $100 a piece, BGS 9 Refractor $300, BGS 9 Black Refractor $490 and BGS 9 Xfractor $700) and I'm kicking myself for not selling them right before the Finals began because it seems that his prices were at it's highest point. After the Heat won, eBay got flooded with too many LeBron Chromes as well as other Rookies/Autos. There was only one card I made a significant profit on and that was his Xfractor Rookie. Seems like after a few were shill bidded to $1500-$1600, where as the REAL VALUE of these cards settled for around $1100-$1200 after the Heat won. These were selling for $750-$850 prior to the Finals.
As far as his Topps Chrome RC Refractors and Black Refractors, there really wasn't an increase, but actually a decrease from what I saw and his Base Chromes (not graded) were selling less than they were when they were at their high point about 2-3 weeks ago. I did see a slight bump for graded base chromes though... especially BGS 9's.
As far as SP Authentic Autograph rookies, they really didn't rise in price at all, which really came to me as a surprise because you would think this is one of his "key" autograph rookies. SPx appear to have had a slight bump, but nothing significant.
Anyone else have any success stories selling their LeBrons? Or are most of you still holding onto them?
