Only about $44000 over my budget. Think he'll end the auction early for me? :D

This card sold for $48,887.00 with 37 bids.

Yes Sir, thinking signs of things to come. Wait until the NBA has a team in Beijing, and they will, the money is just too astronomical to turn down. The sports collectable market will have an entire new set of fans entering the market.

Great card and eye-opening result

The same card sold in September in Goldin for $66K. So if it just resold for $48K on eBay, what does THAT tell us??

And a PSA 3 went for $45K in August, so this card might be coming back down to Earth just slightly....

Much better for people to comment in a vacuum. :cool:

Yup, this card had a history of selling for big prices throughout the pandemic so not sure what the surprise is here. If it’s that everything seems to be down right now and that one brought a relatively strong price, I understand. If it’s that what looks to be an obscure soccer card sold for so much money, maybe some are just not in touch with that market at all.
