My Unique Goudey 1933 High-Grade Pop Report Rankings

[GregMitch34]

RG, good points, but I would respond that the ranking of relative "scarcity" in high grades is hardly irrelevant, since some, from prices, seem to be going to pop report themselves and bidding accordingly--not totally consistently but close enough. Of course, you never know what might happen in future and I have made no claims on pricing--I was simply providing a ranking. Contrary to what you say, there have been plenty of "transactions" lately.

It's odd that you suggest no one is really collecting for sets, yet the commons are selling readily and at record prices--at least post-2008. Comparing the prices to 2008 as you do is unfair--if you compare to a few months ago the prices have jumped a lot, even if that's only temporary.

You suggest no one would pay 1000 for a low-series common but someone paid 980 for one last night. Also last night a large number of PSA 8 commons that were higher numbers went for 750 to 950--in most cases, seemingly, based on pop reports. And many that were not "highest graded" still went for over $500--or $150-200 more than they did recently. So "something" is going on...even if, again, briefly.

BTW, I have exactly two PSA 8s so I am hardly deeply invested in this...
