I love how the winning bidders only latest activity is some shoes....and a $58 THOUSAND DOLLAR basketball card! Good times.....

NeedChapmans · 03-16-2016, 11:30 PM

Yea, was shilled again.

First for $73,000, now for $58,000. Will be up a third time no doubt, and in the 40's.

The question remains, what is the number that someone will actually pay to buy it? Still have to wait and see.

hairyangryfella · 03-16-2016, 11:33 PM

The basketball card world has gone insane. $10k for a Curry Exquisite? $2k for a Curry Topps?
The Kobe I can almost understand as it's his best rc and pristine, but man the rest of the PWCC auctions went huge!

Airforce777 · 03-16-2016, 11:56 PM

So some guy supposedly buys this exact card for 73k then sends it to pwcc right away to flip it and it brings in 58k. hmmmmm

Not sure if I was in shock or awe that the Flawless Harden 13/15 went for 127 plus 8 s/h.

My AD crusade 1/1 rookie sold for less than $800.

Ugh.

Not everyone's happy.

Probably the original buyer at $73k.

exoticprince · 03-17-2016, 07:12 AM

If all is legit, can't believe original buyer thought he could net more than 73k, especially since the card became a pop 2 right after they purchased it. A lot of things in the hobby just don't make much sense

usmc03vet · 03-17-2016, 08:23 AM

Oddly enough, just to shed some light on the whole topic from what I have heard (by no means does this make it true) about the $73,000 purchase and then the card going to auction. So the same owner of both Black Label 10's decided to sell one and consigned the card, the card was sold to a buyer for $73K via eBay and then decided he wanted to unload the card relatively quickly to buy a 51 Bowman Mickey Mantle PSA 8....super expensive card. He then consigned the card to PWCC in hopes of bringing at least what he paid for the card, needless to say...he did not. Because the card has no established track record of sales that felt legitimate, buyers were skeptical and nobody really has an idea of what this cards true value is. We can infer from the BIN price on eBay in January of $73K and this recent sale of $58K that this cards value is really significant no matter what. I do not say this because I have the only other one of the two, I say this because as someone mentioned in an earlier thread, this is Kobe Bryant's #1 RC and it is still a Pristine Black Label. We are talking about one of the best basketball players to ever play the game, who is retiring after this season and will be inducted into the HOF in a few years...in my opinion, this card will be well worth over $100K by that time. Not to mention that there were not so many Refractors made back in 1996, it was pretty much the beginning of the "insert" cards, it does not even have a #/xx for example, only an "R." Just wanted to give my 2 cents.

I'm not saying anything of the sort, all I am simply saying is that cards like everything else in life are worth what a person is willing to pay for them. Cards like this one, the Jordan RC, 52 Mantle are all investments; a way of diversifying assets.
