High grade cards are undervalued
Posted By: leon
There is a simple answer to your question. It is ALWAYS supply and demand....and taken to the extreme it is that at a certain point in time....So while there might be 4 buyers for a T206 in vg, there might only be 2 cards. If you want high grade there might only be 2 graded a "7" and if there are 5 buyers at that level then the war begins. Again, it is always supply and demand, imo......now quit lurking so much and play some games with us......take care |

There is no reason to respond to someone who claims that 2 cards went down in price. Thousands upon thousands are going up. |

A few years ago, I thought tech stocks would never go down as well. |

In my humble opinion - no. The 7 is clearly superior in my opinion, but I would be just as happy with the 6 and the extra 10k in my pocket. |

If we are now to be evaluated based in the number of suits and ties which we own, I will not be able to compete in that either. But if vehicle milage is a criteria, I am up there with the (maybe not) best of ya. 80,000 miles. |

In my opinion, GAI cards are typically a half grade lower when compared to PSA, i.e. a GAI 7.5 = a PSA 7...a GAI 6 = a theoretical PSA 5.5. That's my opinion only based on the cards I have seen. Sometimes they are just as sharp, sometimes they are a grade lower. I have learned not to buy a high-priced GAI card at PSA equivalent grade prices unless I examine it in person. So in the comparison of the PSA 7 and the GAI 6 cards above, the marketplace looks at it as a PSA 7 card vs a theoretical PSA 5.5 card. |

Cost me $125 as a raw card in 1988 or 89 and I tried to get it for $100, which seemed like plenty at the time, but the dealer would not budge. Fortunately I paid the extra $25 it is a beauty - could have been an eight. I had it graded about 7 years ago along with an E107 Plank that did grade 8 (wish I had kept that card), and now seemed like a good time to sell to support my more direct collecting habits, Ramly's, e92's, E103's, PCL's and Boston players. Tbob is right the E cards have gone through the roof. I hope the Matty has a nice new home. As Jim B knows the amount exceeded my expectation by $5000. |

Jim, you just don't get it, do you. Those examples were posted to counter your claim that high grade cards are an infalible investment. high grade cards are no more an infalible investment than tech stocks were, or tulips. |

The post that Rich Jacobs gave regarding the two E95 Mathewsons pretty much reinforces my original question. First, how rare is this card ($12,000 "Rare") if two of them show up in the very same auction? Second, how in the world is there a $11,000 difference between the two cards? They both look very nice to me. Hal mentions the difference being the grading companies and the respective grade each received. Do people who have $12,000 to drop on a baseball card really rely so much on the plastic slab it is in, the company that graded it, and the subjective "grade" that card received, as minute a difference it may be,in order to substantiate such a difference in the price? After all, isn't the key thing the little piece of cardboard in that plastic holder? Is one REALLY that better than the other? |

Certainly Davidbreadman, your contentions regarding the viability and advisability of gathering relatively high graded baseball cards is arguable. Actually, I buy it (but I won't by them - I am on a different mission). |
