You managed to insult sanitation workers and straw men in a single post.

Edit to add Anyone here think 11K for a PSA 9 Red Heart Mantle seems unusual? Just curious.

Reasons I can think of:

1. Marketing

2. Rare cards sell for high prices no matter what the economy. I think most collectors know about the rarity of high-grade Red Hearts.

3. Marketing

4. Really cool description in the auction catalog. (Did you know Mickey Mantle was born in Spavinaw, Okla.?)

5. Marketing

Rob thanks those had not occurred to me.

Anthony S. · #4 09-22-2009, 11:40 AM

1. Steal underwear

2.

3. Profit

Actually, my take on NYC is that it would be a far better place with a few more Sanitation Workers and a few less lawyers. But I no longer tilt at windmills.

And this discussion would be even better with more straw men than already have been raised.

peter, i think i have seen that card sell 10 times for around the $3,500 range. where did it sell for $11,000? excuse me if i missed it. i would assume without looking it was a goodwin auction? i am implying this because of the location of your post not saying bill g is doing any wrong doings. so how are you doing

Peter,

I don't want to beat a dead horse, but it appears you have an axe (sic) to grind. Did you not read this:

Great gloss, fantastic borders and ultra vivid blue background makes (sic) this card jump out at you. Fantastic back.

The card jumps out at you. I doubt the other PSA 9s JUMPED at you. (By the way, Mickey Mantle had a 38-inch vertical leap, something that had it been noted in the auction description, likely would have resulted in $1,000 more added to the hammer price.)

Hope this helps.

"Newspaper editor"... See what I mean?

Late weigh in.
I consigned the S81 Speaker (Lot 41) in Bill's auction just ended.
I expected it to fetch somewhere in the $5k - $6k range before the vig.
I will say I was disappointed with the results achieved and, by inference, would suggest there was no shilling or hidden reserve going on. And to satisfy Jeff's healthy auditor's skepticism, I did not, repeat did NOT bid on my own lot.
The market dictated the value.
Based on this and my previous transactions with Bill, I will step up and say he runs an fair auction.
Thanks for reading.
Bob

We really need some of those consignors who have those 1967 PSA 8 commons which sell for 5K to speak up.

And are consignors permitted to bid on their own lots in Goodwin's auction?

More facts:

1967 Topps Maury Wills PSA 8: the card sold 34 times in the past three years, 25 times between $100 and $200….and once for $349, the only time Goodwin sold it. Coincidentally, the same card was on ebay the very night the Goodwin auction closed – and the ebay card sold for $146.

And finally, Bob, try to have more respect for defense lawyers. It's a thankless job sometimes and very stressful. After all, I have respect for the company which hosts Goodwin's auctions, i.e. yours, so turnabout should be fair play.

Marty,

$11,294 in the August 2007 Goodwin auction.

VCP list 25 transactions of that card, in that grade, between August 2006 and June 2009. The other 24 are all between $2400 and $4,000.

But the August 2007 one was really written up well. (Almost like a newspaper editor did it, or something!)
