Ripple Effect on Vintage

[packs]

What kind of metric could you really produce for a guy like Mantle though? His cards are already at a pretty high tier in comparison to other HOFers like, say, Frank Robinson. If a PSA 10 1957 Topps Robinson rookie sold for big money I really don't think you'll see an increase in the price for 1961 Frank Robinsons. Mantle and players like him are distinct to me in that they're a head above everyone else and different rules apply.

I guess all I would say is that there is a certain demographic of men with the disposable income to spend 85K or 200k or
500K on a card and for many of them their childhood idol was disproportionally Mickey Mantle. They are wealthy and set and they can afford to buy a piece of cardboard that costs as much as a home. Why do a lot of 60 year old men spend big bucks on vintage Camaros and Mustangs. Because it means something to them. No value judgment from me. Mantle is the closest thing to Ruth out there. Iconic. Larger than Life to some. Marilyn Monroe vs Jayne Mansfield. Elvis vs Carl Perkins. Andy Warhol vs whoever.

I agree. What I'm trying to say is that there will only ever be a ripple effect for a guy who commands a ripple. I don't think you'll ever see a ripple effect for Enos Slaughter independent of any price any of his cards command on a day. The others won't go up because of a large sale, at least I don't think so.

A PSA Gem Mint 10 #279 Jeter sold for $37,375 in 2016
A PSA Gem Mint 10 #279 Jeter sold for $54,576 in 2017

Interesting! I thought what we were seeing with this recent PWCC one was just a new trend. I had no idea this card was selling for so much 5-6 years ago.

With that being said, in reality, the PWCC one doesn't seem really all that crazy now.

Sorry Dale I hope you didn't take offense to what I was saying. I was just stating that the bid history for that Jeter SP Foil is sketchy. I don't think it would be a stretch to say there is some pricing manipulation.

Have a big card there if it ever happens. Probably the best brow in the business

I'm not sure I'm picking up what you're putting down? Are you saying this card is falsely being run up like we experienced in the summer of 16, or something else?
I don't follow his cards at all, (but may now?) so I was fairly unaware (knew a little bit of that) just how tough that foil card is.

Any rise in his cards will be in other grades above 8 of that Jeter and not in other rookie cards with print runs of ~ 1 million. There are ~8600 PSA 8 SP Jeter, so that will always provide a reasonable alternative for someone wanting a Jeter RC.

I wasn't aware of those numbers so what you say makes sense. Personally, I can still see his cards rising at a decent rate before they settle out or come back down to earth, but it sure will be fun to watch once this PWCC auction is over.

Have seen that with Mantle and maybe some Jackie cards. Not many others. I can't see it with more modern players like Jeter and Trout, who have one or two really rare cards. JMHO.

I've been watching this one that is posted in modern and it got me thinking, before this thread, now that it is getting out of reach for many, what is/will be the 2nd most popular card of his to start climbing exponentially?

Doing a quick Google/E-Bay look, I came up with this one but there are a ton of refractor and other current unique cards of his that currently are commanding more money so who knows for sure?

Likely most of his cards will rise despite the current PWCC one but in my opinion, once word gets out what this one sells/sold for, I think it will speed up considerably.
