IMO there will be no market correction. They are priced below blue for a reason - and it has nothing to do with the print run. The 70th parallels are largely considered as a lesser/secondary version - in much the same way that shimmers and waves are less desirable than the original solid colors. Demand is simply lower.

Seems like that's indeed the case. Wonder if it was on the top right corner of a pre-cut factory sheet?

I just pulled one in a blaster and Ian Gomes All Star was card before Acuna US250 and Matt Kemp All Star was after.

Opened another blaster and Acuna was behind Verlander 2500K. I didn't pay enough attention to last pack with Acuna as to whether Verlander was in it, but it definitely wasn't in front of it.

If he gets really hot for a couple of weeks his raws will be $50 and Gems will be $200+. Not even kidding.

Does this ebay seller wjc75056 (from Colony, Texas which is a suburb of Dallas) know someone in Beckett (also in Dallas)? He has unusually high number of black labels. He has sold 4 Acuna TC black labels (different serial numbers) in the past 3 months and has one Acuna TC black label currently for sale. He has a total of 5 Acuna TC black labels, which is almost 45% of the total pop of TC black labels (11)

http://www.watchcount.com/completed....bnp=&bxp=#serp

He has sold 50 black labels of various players in the past 3 months

https://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odk...label&_sacat=0

He has active listing of 9 black labels

He has sold 433 BGS graded cards in that same time frame so he grades a lot of cards. 10% black labels of all the BGS graded cards he has sold is a lot though.

Exactly my thoughts.

I edited my OP to include the following-
He has a total of 5 Acuna TC black labels, which is almost 45% of the total pop of TC black labels (11)

He is located in the suburbs of Dallas, which is where Beckett is located. Hence the reason I raised the question

That’s certainly very fishy.

I actually submitted 50 Topps Chrome Sotos to BGS that looked perfect wit the idea that I would land at least a couple of Black Labels which would make it all worth it. I came back with 0 and only 7 Pristines. Of the Pristines, most of them were 9.5s on Centering. The sad part is that now we know about the cutoff W. I compared my Pristines to the Black Labels that had sold, most of those had the W cut off and mine would be considered perfectly centered.

I kind of concluded that Black Labels must typically be inside jobs. Either money is being included in the shipment or they are friends. Pointing out a case like this with such close proximity to Beckett, it’s too much of a coincidence.

Well played. People buy on hype and pay more for it. They will most likely level off or dip soon enough. There is a lot of expectation of performance priced in right now.
