Meanwhile, a PSA 8 Carlton #477 sold for $777 on December 13th.
The fact that Tiant is remotely close to Carlton in price is surprising to me, no offense to the great Luis Tiant. |
I did, but one sale doesn't mean the cards are close in value. A PSA 8 Tiant sold for $305 on 10/18/2022 too. If you look at prices for other grades 5,6,7,9 & 10 the most recent sales of Carlton and Tiant have Carlton's RCs selling for multiples of Tiant's.
As far as Tiant, he has been on recent Veteran's Committee Ballots and is a possible future Hall of Famer. With Jim Kaat and Jack Morris making it, it seems like only a matter of time before Tiant does too.
