WOW! 1960 Yaz rookie PSA 9
 

This card is already at $34K with the juice in Goodwin......I had no clue this rookie was that hot, this is baffling..

Ask Justin, he will explain it to you.

Isn't this price PSA 10 value and then some?

Only Justin knows.

He (hi Justin) is one of many it seems.

A Psa 10 Yaz rookie would probably sell for 100-200 thousand or more

The high end of this hobby or business or whatever is a joke at this point. People buying little paper flips.

I guess I should have kept my SGC 98.....:mad: Why should it sell for that???

paper flips?
 

What a world we live in where we spend paper that the government says is worth something to get little pieces of cardboard that we hope will turn into bearer bonds.

What in the Hell am I missing? This is Carl Yastrzemski!! Did I spell the name right? Holy cow.....

I just checked SMR price for this card, $11K in a 9....

Timing Is Everything

....in that case I'm glad I upgraded my ratty last year , when prices were normal...

..

A PSA 8OC just sold for $151 at Mile High last month!! Also, a straight 9 went for $3400 at Memory Lane 6 years ago! Someone needs to clue me in big time on this one....This makes no sense at all to me.

If Yaz can command those kind of prices... Pandora's box has officially been opened.

Next in line: Steve Garvey
Bucky dent
Enos slaughter

Get your PSA 10's now!!

+1....You can actually buy Dale Murphy's 1977 Topps rookie in PSA 10 for around $750-1000, not a 9, but a 10. This guy won back to back MVP awards in the National League. Not many have done that in either league....

Hey Kevin

This is one of my favorite 1960's cards, but this hobby is getting crazy out there.....perhaps it's time to sell my Yaz rookie card.

So, what do you think I can get for this card (assuming I have PSA grade it) ?

Wow Ted, Your guess is as good as mine at this point. Having said that, it seems that PSA 6's thru 8's are very affordable. I'm just amazed that I have not picked up on this incredible craze for 9's and 10's sooner! More Yaz stats..... Lifetime batting average .285, averaged about 165 hits per season, only 24 total hits in his entire post season, no World Series ring. If not for playing for the Red Sox for 24 years, would he even be a HOFer? Still a great player.....

Check out 7s and 8s recently, you are wrong. They have skyrocketed. Now INVESTOR cards.

Sold a 7.5
 

Sold a 7.5 in long beach today it priced at $700 (it was dead centred with no print marks)

Then there's this with 6 days to go!

I agree with the added value Glyn. You said it your self, dead centered and was graded a PSA 7.5 for $700. Now factor in a PSA 9 for $35K plus.....It simply does not make any sense to me, and odds are, the card is going to sell for a much higher price...

Good point Paul, but that card is a PSA 10. Tremendous difference between 9's and 10's in HOFers....

A PSA 7.5 for $700 is much more affordable in this market for a HOFer, than $40-50K or better for a PSA 9....

Brilliant!
( just kidding Kevin)

You sold it short judging by the last ebay sales.

Peter- Maybe you can help me, what is the sudden draw to this card?

Not JUST this card, Kevin. There have been a dozen or more threads on 54 recently about the recent run on centered rookie cards.

:D

Now back to bidding on non Rookie mid grade
Prewar cards that only several people care about.
I'm never looking at rookies again. I feel sick.

Investors like Justin want to corner the market.

You got it brother.

So Greg, in your opinion, what is a perfectly centered PSA 10 1965 Topps Morgan worth in this market? Kevin

Also, a 1965 Carlton centered PSA 10....

Kevin,

I am not keeping up on the pricing, actually. It is that ridiculous but maybe Brent will permit Justin to post on this thread and answer what the going rate is for those cards. My guess is the answer is as much as they have to spend.

If you have not checked eBay recently for completed sales you should look up virtually any 50s or 60s rookie card in PSA 7s and PSA 8s just to get a taste. Good times!

Catfish Hunters may still be cheap.

Really? LMFAO!

So Johnny Bench hit .267 lifetime and was great defensively just like Yaz. Same boat? Oh and Bench hit .266 in the postseason and Yaz, .369. I realize that's not the point of this thread but ya got under my skin. Carry on.

Oh boy, I'm shaken by that. Can I get anything for you from the bar?

Could you might be from the N.E.??

Bench- 2 titles, Yaz- 0

WOW! 1960 Yaz rookie PSA 9
 

Or is it market manipulation? Many deep pocketed collectors who hold those cards are bidding them up sky high to dump theirs?

Bench was arguably the best catcher in the game, while Yaz was never regarded as the best at his position.

No comparison between the two.

This is silly, both Bench and Yaz are no-brainer Hall of Famers. Yaz for his 3,400+ hits and 450+ homers, Bench because he was the best catcher of all time, offensively and defensively.

Now if his last name had only been Couch...
 

I totally agree: Yastrzemski has a long and difficult to spell last name, while Bench can commonly be found at a park or bus stop.


Brian (potential HOF committee member)

Bartending maybe your calling. But really, carry on about PSA 9's, interesting dialogue.

These are real sales
 

I know it's hard to believe but these are real sales this would be a far too large conspiracy to not be real and I know what Many dealers have sold over the past few months have been real sales. Believing this is some sort of manipulation and these aren't real sales is silly. Strange things happen and when markets rise it sometimes happens too quickly. These spikes don't always last but when they come down prices are often still higher than before the spikes. I think this will happen in cards. I also think the 10 and some of the 9 prices may stay fairly absurd for the foreseeable future. It's the easier 7 and many 8 prices that will have the most downward corrections. In my honest opinion.

False dichotomy. Straw man. Whatever you want to call it. A real sale can occur at an artificially inflated price. Did you read what Justin wrote about trying to corner the market and push prices?

I know a collector who sold his PSA 8 Pete Rose for $18,000 recently. He is treating his family to a pool. The money does spend.

Ryan in a 9 with PWCC going for $60K currently.......

Total anarchy! Cats and dogs in the streets!

For last few months of eBay sales, the '69 Reggie rookie in PSA 8 has been in the $1200-$1700 range.

Last night in Goodwin:
