It is going to make the gem mints even more special!

I often wonder how many of the print run are still in packs.

Thank you! I sold my raw card for $150 profit today. So my cost basis on this BGS 10 is $300, which is what the raw cards are currently selling for. I was looking to buy it for $350-400. I sent multiple offers over the past two days but the seller was firm at $500 ($450 after eBay bucks)

My guess is some of these (20-25%) might not surface anytime soon since they will remain in unopened boxes. People might hoard these boxes/packs for future sale imo.

You bought the BGS 10 for $500 today?

Why does watchcount and eBay show it sold full price for $1099 today?

Yes, I have mentioned this before. Watchcount is not accurate when a seller sends a buyer an offer to review via ebay messages. This is different from making an offer directly on ebay item listing page. In this case, I exhausted all my five offer chances and had to request seller to send me an offer to review. I purchased one of Acuna's TU Indy for $250 in a similar way but watchcount shows the sale price as $299.99

Wow. Good to know. Ebay should adjust the completed auctions to reflect that. Crazy that’s how it’s displayed.

Also, $500 for that is a total steal. Guess I should have made an offer because I gladly would have taken it at that price.

The seller declined my offers all the way up to $400, at which point he countered me with $500. I countered him with $450 (my 5th and last chance offer)) which he declined saying he had already declined multiple offers at $450. I didn't know that raw cards were trading at $250-275. The last time I checked they were selling for $175-200. After looking at recent eBay sales, I sent him an email saying that I am fine with $500 and requested him to send me an offer of $500. Unfortunately, Watchcount currently can't track these kind of eBay sales.

So you had already put 5 offers on that card before eventually getting it for $500?

LOL, yes. when I made the initial three offers, I didn't know that these were selling for $250-275. The last time I checked, they were selling for $175-200. My first three offers were $325, $350 and $375. $400 was fourth and $450 was the 5th/last chance offer which the seller declined. I couldn't make any more offers on the item page and had to send an email to the seller saying I am fine with $500 and requested him to send me an offer to review via eBay messages/ email

But eBay should be able to. I mean, look at the completed auctions. It looks like it sold for $1099. Just another way to be able to manipulate what it appears cards sell for.

I know. eBay should fix this. I hope sellers don't use this sale price as a reference in the future.

I threw an offer in just because who knows. I already have a 76 so I am not so motivated so I will not be offering outside of what these have been selling for. I have a feeling someone will get tired of waiting for one of these cards and will just tap the BIN button.

I have a feeling that Acuna's TU parallels will surpass Soto's price-wise soon. Acuna's black parallel already did (most recent sale- Acuna's black $699 vs Soto's black $625)

That Acuna actually sold for $630. The BIN was $699 but the seller had 10% off their store, bringing the sale to $630. The Soto sold for $725, so Acuna has a little ways to go but I agree, I think his stuff ends up outpacing Soto's.

I didn't factor in the 10% off. Thank you.

Are Sapphire's for Acuna/Soto specific to them because everything is expensive?

Where do they rank with other products?

Sapphire is the poor mans Transcendent, and has a nice track record since 2016

KGWVU · 11-27-2018, 08:16 PM

It sounds as though they are looking to get in the $650 - $700 range for this '76. I would not be surprised if they get it.

Yeah, countered me at 750. Too rich for me, sure would like to have one.
