Namath RC at 81k?

[jim]

if the bidders do pay up, on that kind of crazy bid, they most likely have so much money that a 10 fold drop in value would mean nothing to them.

+1. There are new players in the game. It ain't hacks like you and me, and those worried about VCP average selling prices!

Wall Street card I guess.

I feel like chump change compared to this clientele. A nice Ruth rc could also have been acquired for this amount.

The irony for me is that Namath is barely a top ONE HUNDRED football player. He would not make any serious critic's list of 10 top QBs. It's absurd.

Yes but that card is often considered one of the top ten football cards of all time ....

According to VCP a couple of years ago 8s sold for 6, 7, and 9k and 8.5s sold for about 16k. The last 8 went for 37 and if and 8.5 is still going for more than double an 8 it's in line at the same ratio. That being said, a 500% increase in two years is pretty crazy, but follows the recent trend of key baseball RCs in PSA 8 and up.

I know, perfect storm -- tall boy, short print, New York, the Super Bowl win, the personality. Still.
