So, card prices are so crazy now that Dean's BINs look like the bargain basement at the local thrift store.

Nice... That one used to me mine! Though guess I left about $9,999,300 on the table by selling when I did.

The bank authorized the loan without a further question!

[ALR-bishop]

I would be interesting to count all the numerous threads on 54 that berate Dean, Levi, Yepdog and others for asking so much for their cards

At the time their prices were insanely high compared to others.

I was looking for some tobacco cards a few nights ago and Dean had the best overall prices by a long ways. Still to high for me though.

[Touch'EmAll]

About Dean's Cards together with the recent Gehrig thread.

Saw on ebay Dean's has a 1926-29 Exhibit Lou Gehrig PSA 1 for sale ... $20,220.00 Wow! So tough to gauge current market for some cards that rarely come up for sale. But given the 1925 Gehrig price, do you think this $20.k is anywhere near realistic for the 1926/29 ?

Thats a huge increase over even a year ago. And then we can talk about the 1920's Ruth Exhibits - how high on these cards in today's market? Whew, pinch me I must be dreaming!

there are many desirable cards on ebay where the prices increase hundreds of percentage points on a day to day basis. Mostly fishing imo.

That one has been up at that price on ebay for a long time before the sale I believe. I'd be shocked if that one sold for that asking.

Card prices are so crazy, Kanye West looked at them and was like, “Yo, you should get some help.”

[Throttlesteer]

Card prices are so high right now, the FBI started trimming and altering their evidence lockers.

Card prices are so crazy Elon Musk is retweeting the latest Aaron sales prices.

Card prices are so crazy that casinos are reprogramming their slots to pay out in Topps rookies.

Card prices are so crazy that Elizabeth Warren wants to regulate them.

Exactly at my house!

Card prices are so crazy right now that my wife is complaining about the cards I USED to have and sold!

[stlcardsfan]

Card prices are so crazy now that my 16-year-old son who had absolutely no interest in my vintage card collection is now suddenly interested.

[paul]

Card prices are so crazy right now that people are selling fractional ownership shares of cards. Wait, that's real.

[Exhibitman]

All of which probably points to it being a good time to cash out...when this thing of ours no longer brings scorn, derision and shame from our loved ones, it is probably nearing the top of the bubble.

[NiceDocter]

I heard Tuff Stuff is coming back with a daily online price update service! (for those of you who can remember back in the last booommm before the BUST!) Anyone want to buy a 100 card lot of Joe Charboneau rookies???? LOL Rocky Rockwell

[dio]

Card prices value are so crazy now, in 10 years timeframe, it is still way underperform than most stock.

[Bigdaddy]

Card prices are so high now that Oregon has legalized all users of shill bidding and trimming.

[MCyganik]

Card prices are so crazy now, unopened boxes from the junk wax era are worth hoarding again.

[campyfan39]

Well, maybe not quite that crazy! 😂😂

[Johnny630]

I go back to the Old Mr. Buffett and great late John Templeton

“Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.” “The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell”.

With that said;

You can't go wrong with Ruth, Cobb, Jackie, Mantle, Aaron and Mays.

The Modern other then Brady I'd sell at these levels in a NY Min

Card prices are so high right now that I picked up a hooker and paid her with a Curt shilling rookie card!

Agreed. Post of the day. Thing is, it’s actually true!

[Great Winfield]

Card prices are so crazy that the wallstreetbets mob has moved on from GME and AMC and is now targeting the original penny stocks, junk wax era rookies. Long-forgotten binders full of Cory Snyder and Devon White rookies are secreted off to safety deposit boxes or traded straight-up for Lambos. PWCC auctions are no longer dominated by Kobe and Lebron, but rather by Juan Samuel and Jeff Stone. Market observers are aghast as raw 1987 Donruss Pete Incaviglia prices surge past those of 1986 Fleer Jordan PSA 10 cards.

Deans is always overpriced.

[JollyElm]

Card prices are so crazy now...that if I wanted to buy a car last month, I had to sell a very high grade Mantle card to afford it, but to buy the very same car now, all I have to do is part with a mid-grade Gregg Jefferies rookie card.

[slightlyrounded]

Card prices are so crazy now that to keep my casket cards I've changed my burial plans to 'unmarked grave'

Well stated, Adam. My wife suggests that I sell out but knows my cards have psychic value so would never press the issue.

Hope all are healthy.

My wife still has scorn over my cards. If I buy a Cobb/ruth she gets a Chanel. Tit for tat. Question is do I tell her that they graduated from the Chanel to Birkin? Nahhhh

That designers are working on "wearable" baseball card fashion designs"



When I pull up to a bar women are more interested in the card I'm sporting more than the car I'm driving!

"I'll take it" is posted in BST threads from just a year ago

[Tyruscobb]

Card prices are so crazy that I've simply stopped buying. Enough is enough - at least for me and what I'm willing to pay.

March 2021 will probably be the first month in approximately a decade in which I haven't bought a card.
