Check out what's happening on this guys T205s graded Psa 7 ! These buyers are legit too!
The prices are a bit nuts already -- what about at closing time tonight?
In fact these prices are so stratospheric that I am breaking my own rule not to talk too much about cards I want to win for fear of apprising the potential competition.
Does anyone have any comments on this, I'm dumbfounded

After we talked about "error" cards, they started coming out of the woodwork, and recently there were board discussions about how impossible it is to find NM T205's.

Perhaps, seeing the trading card companies' recent success, PSA has issued 'retro' holders.

a T205 with a bright gold border? Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me, but those first T205s I saw at the '88 National, it seems to me, had shiny borders.

How about Ramleys?

(None of my T2052 or Ramleys have "gold" gold borders. Nor have I ever seen one since then.)

really makes me wonder if I had kept all those 205s I pulled from packs, what they whould have graded and how much they would sell for now.

Is bidding still open on that time machine?

That makes me feel great. I'm dead broke, and have 3 SGC-80 T205s I've been trying to sell for around $75 each for a few months.

No takers, and I guess now I'm glad no one got them, as mysteriously they've taken a sudden jump in price.

Julie, I have some of the T205s with the gold borders, almost metallic looking which I believe you are speaking about. I also have owned a few of the green border T205s which I was glad to get rid of years ago because I thought they were freaks and would rather have the "normal" looking ones. Now freak cards go for record prices and I wish I still had them.

It's not just his PSA 7's - a PSA 6 of Murray (not a difficult card) is well over $300. This is crazy, and will end like most crazy things do, badly. I bought a PSA 5 Bender last month that must be worth a mortgage payment now.

Hope this doesn't bring back bad memories - I picked it up over the weekend. If the scan doesn't make it clear, the green T205's definitely are ugly!

I just got it today and have it displayed between the yellow-border Reulbach "printer scrap" card, and a Matty with a solid gold border - they look super-cool together!

The gold ones are always tarnished. I wonder what you would have to have done to keep ther gold bright?

Is that a booger below Matty's nose?

I guess if Leon can fondle his cards and MW can sleep with his, it wouldn't be perverse for me to pick Matty's nose.

<< Also, they are in PSA, not SGC holders. >>

Are there any T205 SGC set collectors out there?
