Grades 1(10) - 4(50).
When I was deep into these cards a few years ago(2008-ish), these were the prices you could expect (with some differences between certain players): 1 = $75-$95 2 = $95 - $125 3 = $125 - $175 4 = $175 - $225 Today: 1 = $35 - $45 2 = $45 - $75 3 = $75 - $95 4 = $125 - $220 (very subject specific) Buy high, sell low... |

IMO...
Hot: eBay sniping Not: Bidding with anything more than 30 seconds left to go Hot: PrewarCollector (his stuff always seems to go for top $) Not: Tom Barlage (where has he been?) Hot: Showing back scans of your cards Not: Not. And insulting prospective buyers who ask for one Hot: T206 Most of the really tough backs (Drum, Brights, Broadleaf, Uzit etc) Not: T206 Common name back with tougher numbers - IE: Sov460 Hot: T206 Tougher (slightly) commons: Tenney, Merkle, Puttman Not: T206 Most common of the commons and minor leaguers (not SL'er): Chappelle, Hayden, etc Hot: E98 Not: E93 Hot: Bruins Not: Weiner |

HOT - .99 cent starting bids on cards
NOT - Out of this world Buy-It-Now prices HOT - grandpa's attic. So many cards are found. NOT - Not doing the research and buying the counterfeit cards. Last edited by deadballera; 06-16-2011 at 02:01 PM. |

HOT- E94s and E98s
NOT- E99s and E100s, they really have slipped the past year. HOT- T205 SPs NOT- T204s, despite their beauty they are priced lower than in many years. HOT- 1911 and 1912 Zeenuts. NOT- Low and mid grade Obaks. |

You guys got it all wrong. E98s are not, at least they shouldn't be hot! They are quite worthless in fact so nobody should bid on them...Ok!

And I will concur with your set that isn't hot and add D359's to them also. Even mid grade and some high grade examples of both of these sets can usually be had for a fraction of their prices from 3-8 yrs ago.

Hi Jeff,
Agree 100% - was going to say the same thing. Cold as ice...even on the highest graded examples out there (PSA 5-6) and even on HOFers. Cheers, Blair

Hot: The upcoming Net54 Dinner at the National in Chicago. Not: The dealers at the National that won't have their stuff priced AND the admission fees to the show. Hot: The 2011 Detroit Tigers (bad news....we're still in June) Not: The 2011 Minnesota Twins (bad news for Tiger fans....we're still in June. Yikes!) |

HOT: A 1958 Topps Red Wilson PSA 10 for $4,051.
There was recently some discussion that this PSA 10 may have been previously graded a PSA 8 & recently won on Ebay for $28. The buyer of the 8 and the seller of the 10 appear to be same Ebay account since their feedback #'s are identical. See discussion and auction pages and draw your own conclusions: http://forums.collectors.com/message...67&STARTPAGE=1 COLD: 1967 Topps #429 Gerry Roggenburk PSA 9. One sold in October 2007 for $3,683.00. Another example recently sold for $261.81. That's a 93% drop in value. |

S. Ostler of the SF Chronicle wrote an article about the Joe D shower pic going up for auction. He ends article #1 by having some fun with the random guy showering next to him. Within 2 days that guy, a 91 year old former ballplayer who happens to be living in SF, read the paper and contacted them. Pretty cool little baseball story... links below...
San Franciscans will appreciate the photo of DiMaggio because many locals prefer to remember Joe as the baseball-crazy North Beach kid, rather than the grimly aloof Manhattan superstar of later years. In this photo: no pinstripes. Bidders must register by Wednesday at 5 p.m. West Coast time, and initial bids (Lot No. 1071) must be in by Friday at 6 p.m. The bidding was over $1,600 as of Thursday night. Bonus mystery: Next to DiMaggio in the photo is an unidentified guy. Is it a Yankee teammate? A coach? A stadium peanut vendor? Maybe it's Engelberg, letting down his guard. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...SPU91JV0JN.DTL http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...SP2O1K08H7.DTL Hot- 1948 Bowman Musial SGC/PSA-5 range. Multiple BIN's in $325-$335 range 4-5 months ago... now seeing it sell for $475-$500 everytime. Not- T202's with respect to their SMR value. Only been collecting them for about 9 mths, notice they almost never command full value.. have been picking up great HOF'ers for between 50-65% of SMR. Great set, great pics, great value. Love it! |

Whats not hot is probably the price for one of their Concert shirts. Do you know how much they go for now? I remember paying about $7 for my first concert(shirt), good ole flute playing Jethro Tull in 1979 North Sea Oil tour

I think Exhibits have cooled off, I know the Whales have all but completed their sets and prices are off 20-40% on all but the scarcest and highest graded cards. I agree about T3's being way cold, I sold my one at auction this year for about a 40% loss. I also think E90-1 have been down a lot, also seems like a lot of them have hit the market this year.
On whats Hot, I agree early years of Zeenuts are higher than just 1-2 years ago. T209's seem to be selling strong too. |
