flips have a lot to do with the card hobby..

I could distinguish a lot more 4s from 5s than 9s from 10s I promise you.

Of course you could, anyone could I would imagine.

Won my entire group at about 78.6%* of my max bids... Relatively happy...

I had something go 42.3%* of my maximum due to poor a description.

Edit* My numbers were wrong when I initially made this statement. They are now correct.

Even if I had 1 billion dollars I would not spend that on a 70 Jackson even if it were a psa 11. Who the f is paying these prices. I mean at that rate an entire 1970 set would cost you over 1 million in psa 10 assuming some of the stars reach relative prices to the Jackson. That is beyond nuts. Really its incomprehensible.

It's only incomprehensible because you are thinking of it as a card. It's not, it's a commodity.

I don't know if I agree with that Peter, while it technically is a commodity by definition all cards are commodities as they are products. I say its incomprehensible because to me the maximum value of the item is significantly less than 30k no matter how you chose to view it as a card, a commodity or an irreplaceable one of a kind item. Again thats just me.

Perhaps I should say a commodity independent of the card to which it is attached -- i.e., a flip.

I went back and did the math so I am factually correct.

Eh, you send in the 4s and 5s to third party graders raw and they cant distinguish..they will come back different all the time.....but you know my point...what about 7s and 8s. for example..there are lots of grades for cards in a specific set that are one grade apart that are very tough to tell the difference yet at auction its thousands of dollars in difference in price....

.one grade difference..and there are other cards out there with the condition of just one grade apart is just as hard to tell as a psa 9 and 10 rookie Jackson..thats my point.

I thought Jacksons rookie card was 1969. I learn something new everyday.

That thing is so ugly I would be reluctant to call it a card.

I tend to agree with you.
