You can look at recent auction results and see that my point remains that N172 SGC 84's with outstanding images went for under $1000 last fall. That's very low considering the population rarity and quality of the cards. Just my viewpoint, coming from whatever planet you may think I'm on.  |
How about listening Jamie. No one has a problem with high grade OJs that I have seen or read. They have a problem, as stated, with the way they are given their technical grades. The image is the most important thing to most collectors, whether it's in a 1 holder or a 9 holder. And those 8s in the Goodwin auction have great images. Their, and most OJ prices, will reflect their image quality not the number on the flip. Do you understand that? It's either yes or no. And I should add that, in retrospect, some of the pricing can have to do with the number on the flip as some people do buy the holder and not the card, however, in my experience that is not how most OJ collectors are.
