Posted By: <b>Elliot</b><p>It's been a while since I bought a Sport Kings, do the prices that this seller achieved seem on the high side to the rest of you? Does who the seller is on ebay really make that much of a difference?<BR><BR><a href="http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewListedItems&userid=goodwinandco&include=0&since=7&sort=3&rows=25" target=_new>http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewListedItems&userid=goodwinandco&include=0&since=7&sort=3&rows=25</a>

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>It's gotta be PSA set builders. It's the only explanation I can come up with as to why a PSA 6 Eddie Shore, a jockey, would pull $660. I don't think I ever got more than $30 for any Shore card I ever sold, and I went thru a lot of SKs when I dealing in the 80s. And I certainly don't recall it being that hard to find in top condition.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>Albie O'Hanian</b><p>Elliott - I know there are quite a few people working on a basketball Hall of Fame player set which helps to justify the prices of Holman and Wachter. I paid considerably less for my PSA 4 of Holman and the price for Wachter is really high in that grade. Those cards were listed under baseball and not basketball as well or they might have even brought in more bidders. I have not seem them go for that high in those grades before.

Posted By: <b>Elliot</b><p>Jay, you dunderhead, Eddie Shore is one of the all time great hockey players. I found the prices on the common PSA 6's to be absolutely incredible.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>Damn, got the Dunderhead crown again. Haven't seen a lot the card fromt aht set in a long time. I had the right mental image of the card, just the wrong sport. Still, I know I was never able to get more than $30 for an Eddie Shore card. And people could have cared less about Wachter and Holman. The cards that had biggest demand were Duke Kahanamoku, Babe Deidrickson and Jim Thorpe. I still wish I had my Duke and Thorpe cards.<BR><BR>Jay
