$100,000 Card

[LincolnVT]

What is the next card that will sell for $100,000? Needs to be a card that hasn't yet sold for $100,000. Guesses?

The SP Jeter RC in 10 almost got there a year or so ago, and with the big rise in Jeter RCs...

Already sold for $100,000.

D304 Cobb... oh, it just got there at $102k in the last REA auction.

All jokes aside it’ll likely be some psa 10 rookie.

Some emerald green Fleer Metal basketball card

[rats60]

It will be a modern basketball card. There are a number of low print run Michael Jordan cards (10 or less) that haven't come up for sale in a long time. One of those could easily pass 100K. The other possibility is the 03/04 Exquisite Lebron James RPA /99 if one legitimately comes up for sale in high grade. There is some debate about if it would actually hit 100k. A BGS 9.5 of the Exquisite RPA /23 sold for 95K in 2015. That one would bring over 100K if sold today.

If there are 99 of them why would it sell so high and why do you say "if...legitimately" is there some controversy about this card?

Nope. I invest in cardboard futures.

Exactly how do you mean that, sir?

Quite a few seem to have been cleaned up by a professional trimmer and then regraded...mostly by BGS and they have missed the trim and provided higher grades. The trims can be determined based on the matching serial numbers and finding prior sales... similar to the t206 auto scam...

There hasn't been a verifiable sale in years, just rumors of sales. For a card with 99 copies that just doesn't make sense. You would think that one would come to a reputable auction house at some point. The card is believed to at least be worth in the high 5 figures.

Maybe someone early on hoarded them somehow? Maybe they weren't all released? Intriguing anyhow.

I am convinced most of the modern basketball insert rarities are hiding in closets. Forgotten by most and gone unknown to the original owner. Should be interesting to see these come out the woodwork

Nothing I own.

[GaryPassamonte]

I agree on the 1869 Cincinnati trade card or cdv, Jay. It should be selling for much more than it does. It's historically significant and available enough to be obtained.

Eventually, a Ty Cobb autographed T206 will hit $100K+. FYI, the Gehrig rookie has already eclipsed $100K.

If you blow up the picture of the Jeter being auctioned, the bottom doesn't look very straight in the scan. It seems to curve down to the right. Maybe it's an optical illusion or just my monitor. You be the judge.

Brent is calling a 4th year Jeter a rookie card.

So is 1960 Topps no longer Yaz's rookie card?

In the 90's the first cards made in the major league card issues were always a players RC. In the mid-late 2000's mlb started doing the whole "rookie label" thing. I think younger collectors of modern are used to rookie season, rookie logo stamped "RCs" but that wasn't the case or the norm in the 90's.

To further muddy the situation, Jeter has numerous 1995 issues that were produced after and make mention of his major league debut. So theoretically I can see people, depending on their own criteria, making cases for 1993, 1995, and 1996 cards. Although I never see the 1995 considered for whatever reason.

To me and I think the overwhelming majority of Jeter collectors, the 1993 issues are what we call his Rookies. But , people can collect whatever they want and different opinions are allowed .

I think it is an optical illusion. I believe it is the opaque part of the holder on the bottom right that droops down.

The smart money doesn’t discuss these things. Just saying.

I never would have guessed that a mid-grade Ruth from the 1933 Goudey set is a six-figure card, but one sold for $90,000 this week, so maybe $100K isn't far off.
