Analysis of PWCC Vintage Auction 10/13/19

[pokerplyr80]

Of course the only one from this list to go up was the only one I bid on. Had it stayed 5 or 10% under its previous sale I would picked it up.

I will take the other side here as other than the Waddell Portrait the prices were fine (but I do agree with the sample size comment above). Being from NJ on average I have been paying ~8.8% above my final price (including shipping). Hence if we apply that to the lots you listed several (listed below) are over or at what they sold for recently.


T206 Lajoie Portrait, PSA 5
PWCC - 10/13/19: $2,376
PWCC - 11/7/18: $2,606 (8.82% reduction)

E93 Cobb, PSA 3
PWCC - 10/13/19: $3,739
PWCC - 10/14/18: $3,518 (6.28% increase)

E120 Ruth, PSA 5
PWCC - 10/13/19: $14,336
PWCC - 2/5/18: $14,771 (2.95% reduction)

Meanwhile some of the others are barely down (less than 6%) which is where I would expect them to be from a card that was recently sold.

What if the first sale at 5-15% more was shill bid well above where it should have been to set a floor and then the second sale at that slightly lower level was a real buyer who now got a 'bargain'......

this is the likely scenario for the past 10-15 years with most auctions...imo...to the point where some hammer prices appear to be bargains when they've been artificially inflated in the first place.

Modern seems to be doing fine. At least on the high end. 200k for a Jeter card tonight.

That's the one. I remember a debate over which was more valuable, 93 sp in a 10 or that one. I guess that debate is settled.
