E93 Wagner price differences
 

Posted By: <b>jackgoodman</b><p>Any opinions on the price difference between these two cards that closed within about 4 weeks of each other. Is the $300 difference just an acceptable range of value or ?<br />I'd appreciate your opinions.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5227852994&ru=http%3A% 2F%2Fsearch-completed.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Fso focus%3Dbs%26sbrftog%3D1%26catref%3DC6%26from%3DR1 0%26satitle%3D5227852994%26sacat%3D-1%2526catref%253DC6%26bs%3DSearch%26sargn%3D-1%2526saslc%253D2%26sadis%3D200%26fpos%3D92705%26f is%3D2%26ftrt%3D1%26ftrv%3D1%26saprclo%3D%26saprch i%3D%26fsop%3D1%2526fsoo%253D2%26fvi%3D1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5227852994&ru=http%3A% 2F%2Fsearch-completed.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Fso focus%3Dbs%26sbrftog%3D1%26catref%3DC6%26from%3DR1 0%26satitle%3D5227852994%26sacat%3D-1%2526catref%253DC6%26bs%3DSearch%26sargn%3D-1%2526saslc%253D2%26sadis%3D200%26fpos%3D92705%26f is%3D2%26ftrt%3D1%26ftrv%3D1%26saprclo%3D%26saprch i%3D%26fsop%3D1%2526fsoo%253D2%26fvi%3D1</a><br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5239182664&rd=1&sspage name=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5239182664&rd=1&sspage name=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1</a><br />

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>I would chalk it up to timing. Today's auction (I was hoping Elkins would get it!) might not have done as well, ending on a Sunday. The previous auction ended on a weekday, which historically do much better. However, it could just be the card itself. The August Wagner was described as having some paper loss and a crease. Also, some toning was obvious. Today's Wagner didn't have much in the way of a description so it was more of a guessing game.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>It's all about eye appeal. If I had to choose between the 2, I'd rather have the $1700 than the $1400 card. It just looks better. To me, a lot better. <br /><br />Good to see that a slab grade doesn't neccessarily dictate price. I see this more and more which would seem to prove that people are more often buying the card and not the slab. I am sure that this is not case when it come to people competing on the set registry.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>My place is full of valuable, worthless junk.

Posted By: <b>cmoking</b><p>I'm on the registry. I have often sold or refused a card in better grade and kept a lower grade for my set because of the eye appeal. I believe there are many like me. Yes, there are some guys who look at the PSA # and not the card, but there are more that look at the card than just the number. I don't understand why there are always these subtle jabs at PSA and the registry in so many unrelated thread. This thread is about as unrelated as it gets - two E93 SGC cards.

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>Sunday is good and bad. Yes, there are a lot more people looking at eBay at the time. Every seller worth his salt knows this. This also leads to a very high volume of closings on Sunday night. This means that unless you have something special to offer, your auction gets lost. I never close an auction on Sundays anymore becuase I've never had success with it because the t206s I offered were low grade, thus just one of hundreds of other low grade t206s closing that night.<br /><br />Jay<br><br>My place is full of valuable, worthless junk.

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>I agree with Jay. Ted is right, more people are home on Sunday but things get lost in the mix. Sunday nights are also a bad time for us West Coast folk, due to the East folks going to bed early for work on Monday.<br /><br />Personally, I've had great luck with Friday night when selling. Sunday nights seem to work better for buying.

Posted By: <b>Scott Elkins</b><p>However, many more days like I had in college FB today, and I won't let you down on too many cards I will be bidding on. Not only did I win all bets but the Ohio State game, but I hit a nice four team teaser that paid 3 to 1!!!!!!<br /><br />BcD - I am taking $500 off the Matty price for the college picks I gave you today!

Posted By: <b>jackgoodman</b><p>So,<br /><br />I gather from the above that since both auctions closed on a Saturday and the PSA registry was not a factor, <br /><br />that the reason was due to someone buying the card, not the slab. So that a card with minor paper loss and a light crease (on the top) still presented better (and got the higher price), then a similarly graded example (on the bottom) with no other description provided.<br /><br />$1700 <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1126448089.JPG"> <br /><br />$1400<img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1126448255.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Peter Thomas</b><p>The winner of the second card was the underbidder on the first card. The first card is a nicer looking the third high bidder on the first auction did not bid on the second card so the first auction underbidder had clear sailing if you call $1400 for a fair and not that rare card clear sailing.

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Seems to me to be a simple question of eye appeal; the $1700 Wagner is a nicer card. Remember, buy the card, not the holder. And the issues Peter raises are certainly relavent.<br />JimB
