At what level should I set my expectations

[camaro69]

OK, a good friend of mine just dropped of this card for me to try and sell for him at our local show on Sat..
I honestly do not know what value I should expect to get for the card for him.So for all you grading experts
and people that buy and sell a lot,PLMK your thoughts on what I should expect to get for this card in a straight
sale with no trading. PLMK your thoughts.Thanks.

according to VCP data,
the average PSA 8 over the last year was about $350 (4 sales).

Since your card is OC, I would compare it to a 7:
the average PSA 7 over the last year was about $230 (4 sales), with most recent sale in July at $259.

I would think you can offer it at $230 and should be easily able to get $200+

Is this VCP data base the same think that was provided to me by Exhibitman
https://www.psacard.com/auctionprices If so how current is there list of complete sales.Seems like a few of the more current sales are higher then they have listed there.I guess what I will do is take it to the show and see if there is any interest in it and if so then start a negotiation with the buyer.I guess the worst that can happen is I have to bring it back home. Thanks.

it's the same data. difference is that VCP also has BVG and SGC sale prices, although I did not even look at those.

the card as a PSA 7 has only 4 sales in the last 12 months. Sure, $259 is the last and the highest, but that does not mean a buyer will pay that now. As a buyer, I usually look at the last few sales and cap myself at the average. If i had this card, I would put a sticker $230 or $240 on it, but would take less.

but there is no science here, its like selling anything. the most important thing is what you are willing to let it go for and how long do you want to take to sell it.
