Goldin Auctions.Are they down

[notfast]

I guess the hammer price + 23% is what the “realized price” is?

Is tax included too? Appears the credit card fee is.

Tax is not included and varies by state from which you purchase

The listed “sale” prices include an additional 3%. Just did the math.

Lot 65 - 1948 Leaf #79 Jackie Robinson Rookie Card – PSA NM 7 = $402,210

This cards hammer price was $327,000. 20% buyers premium = 392,400. Additional 3% puts it at 402,210.

Guess you gotta milk every extra % out when you’re breaking “WORLD RECORDS” even if that 3% only exists when paying via credit card.

Why you gotta hate man?
It's freakin awesome that there are people who think sportscards are SO wonderful they will spend entirely incomprehensible sums on them.
How that pans out for them is not my problem or your problem.
Sportscards have stepped out into the brilliant sunshine to become the most highly valued collectable on the planet.
I love cards so that makes me smile.

Doesn't change one bit what I will or won't spend.
That's on me.

The prices across the hobby have been remarkable, and over the last year, Goldin has definitely taken a big step at the head of the sports auction world. Congrats and Kudos to Ken for that, and here's to hoping that the new platform means the end of the issues.

I won the 1 item I was really chasing, so I'm happy. Thankfully it wasn't something that drew crazy attention since my wallet is a tiny fraction of those bigtime sales.

Interesting that the 52 Jackie going for just under a million didn't make the notable list. Tough crowd.

Ah, I missed the world record part, good list to be on, congratulations. Makes me wonder what this would sell for.

Consigned some items to Goldin and they will end tonight. So far, the current high bids already exceed my expectation. Thank you Goldin!
