Grats.

Paid for?

[NYBBFAN]

2012 Topps Heritage #207 in PSA10 are up to $900. Crazy!

What is the BIN price one week from now?

Yep, paid for and shipped. Made sure the buyer had dealt in high value cards before this one and there were a couple five figure Lukas so it checked the box. Was planning to hold longer term, but hard to pass on a 200% spike. Still have a PSA 10 version.

Jeez. This is GameStop level.

I only have one, sadly. But if this gets to 10k I might need to sell.

I have a 9.5 and a 10 and I think I might be selling if this goes much farther

Problem is credit cards and PayPal give you 6 months to return

I doubt the $10K prices are legitimate. Even at $7K I would not sell.

Might be time to let this go. I’ve had the card since 2012, and graded it at the National in person. Fun time in the hobby right now.

Go to a show and sell in person for cash. No return, no fees.

So the Psa 10 has doubled in a week

In February

Every day feels more like project 2020

Good idea ....

[kidfan9]

US175 auction ending in 30 minutes at $7400, not my card.

That is exactly where my head went. I don't think there would be as extreme of a drop, but it's not dissimilar. Hard to not sell at least some.

It's possible. The flip side, which we've seen time and time again also, is that auctions are purposely being bid up to the level of BINS (see buyer with 217 feedback bidding on every US175 PSA 10), and none of the BINs end up getting hit. The card then settles back to a more realistic price level.

Card ended at $7500 but the winning bidder only has one feedback.

Dream card. About a month ago a 7.5 black was at auction and I was in the bidding war but lost, it ended at a little over 15k I believe. Really wish I had just thrown down to get it because I think was my only shot as it’s the lowest graded black between PSA and beckett. And now I have no idea where it’d be at. Anyways, beautiful card man.

He’s got two feedback now. Must have paid.

My thoughts too. I've been busy lately and haven't even been checking in much. Come back to Trout getting 2-3 pages a day. I've noticed his cards going up. Particularly his Updates. All cards have been jumping basically though. People should be hyped about the new season, last years wasn't the best. Hopefully this year's is better or at least longer. I enjoy watching games and relaxing. Hopefully this year I get more relaxing and slightly less work. Maybe more time with the kids(if they allow it.)

Hard to let those kind of cards go. Unless it's going towards something big. Like a house or paying off debt. I'd keep a little longer. That particular card isn't one that will drop value soon. Maybe something will show up this year and you'll need the money. If you are selling it and don't need the money. Buy some gold or silver. Something in that area.
