As one who sold all his modern at an auction years ago and sometimes thinks “I should have held on to that Jeter, etc,” and one who passed even more years ago on buying pre-1955 cards because they weren’t Cubs, I still don’t understand the prices or asking prices for todays modern cards. One thing that hasn’t been mentioned and is relevant, is today’s trading. I used to do a lot of trading but today most younger traders only want PSA 8 or 9 or 10. This goes along with today’s buyers. Traders want to trade for the high graded cards because they think they can flip them for a big price. Lost is the fun of trading – found is only “what can I sell it for”.
