In addition to what has been noted, 1990 Leaf Frank Thomas, 1992 Bowman Piazza and 1992 Bowman Mariano Rivera are all decent cards.

I agree that "reserve not met" can deter bidders. Reserve practices vary from AH to AH. Some do not disclose reserve not being met until auction end (e.g., Legendary, I believe). Some post the...

Most people with AH experience will recommend staying away from the card versus set structure. While it sounds appealing to a seller on its face (the best of both worlds), it turns off a lot of...

I have the set run as well from 1984-1991. If the sets are sealed and the boxes are in decent condition, you are looking at about $2000 in value. I They were not massively produced. Most were...

I don't know if it's that simple. Looking at big name HOF rookie cards, it seems that 9s and 10s (when there is a decent sample size) have consistently outperformed 8s and 7s over the last five...

Very interesting comparison. I would have guessed the center card, and if not the center card, the card on the right. Shows what I know.

I have seen uncut checklist sheets offered on eBay, but I believe they were of the red variety. I can pull my 1973 packs and see if a team checklist sheet is one of the offers.

I am seven cards short of completing the 1978 set. There are maybe three or four dozen tricky cards. Most sets have that one or two cards that are almost impossible. In 1978, it's Bostock (have...

It's been a lot of fun reading this because I lived through it. 1986 or 1987 is when the "junk wax" era began in my opinion. I would guess that Topps' production roughly doubled every year from...

Anyone else like this?

Looks like it ended up to be about a break-even proposition for the seller, but the $39K or so price tag is a pretty big bump over the prior sale. This could be largely REA's clout. Hard to say...

The last 8.5 I am aware of selling publicly was in 2010 for $130K. So I am going to say we are seeing a price near the top, and will go for $240K before BP. For $450K I will take a Wagner any day.

PRobstein and PWCC (eBay) have lower fees and I think this card could do just as well here as with an auction house. Goldin Auctions has only a 10% buyer's premium and got some great action. ...
