because the scope and financial backing of your supposed buying group conspiracy, would basically have to be one of those institutions to cover all the bases you keeping mentioning.

for pete's sake, literally and figuratively.

by all means...

It's obvious to me and a number of others that people are trying to push up market values. Whether you agree or not really is not my concern. Carry on and watch the next guy triple overnight. Brooks maybe? Frank? Gibson? Inquiring minds want to know.

[begsu1013]

again, enlighten me w/ some hard evidence.

hell, even soft evidence at this point...


and i hope not on bob gibson, i have been buying his cards (not just rc) for a while now

that guy was a monster.






and for the record, i am just spit balling w/ pete in a joking manner.
zero ill will intended. just a few guys bellying up...

[begsu1013]

and i think brooks has already started.

didn't leon say personally that he paid 2-3x over vcp on that well centered 8?

and if you don't mind, throw pics of these yaz's up.

as i know you will even agree that all grades are not the same.

Look for yourself. One is pretty nice, the one at 686 isn't anything special, mine at 250 is much nicer. OK here is a pic.

The PSA-9 Yaz RC in the Bill Goodwin auction is at $33k...which is pulling up the price on 8s currently $2k+ in the PWCC auction.

That's exactly it Monte. The higher grades pull up the prices on the lower grades. People pay strong for the nice examples and try to bump them into the higher grades and make a good profit.

here's a good example...

1953 mantle psa 7

the card has already surpassed the highest previous vcp price, just got started and all this w/o the "high end" certification at pwcc.

will probably double the avg vcp price i am guessing.

i think it has a great possibility to bump and the price is proving it.

i also know who's card it is, he's a good dude and has proven to have a great eye.

he is definitely not part of a buying group, a price inflator or even a flipper.

Taken and dished out in the same spirit.

I hope Brooks does ......I don't know what is going on but I suspect, as already stated, it's a bit of everything mentioned.

Heh. I am going with Brooks, very popular player and his RCs are actually not that easy to find centered.

[pawpawdiv9]

Bet there 1 guy that's praying on Canseco!!!

His prices have started to climb already ....

[pawpawdiv9]

It could be a Cal Ripken?? When I was a kid, that was one of the guys I collected and Ken Griffey and the so-call performance enhancers.

Yes I agree brooks is undervalued and his cards have been selling a lot higher recently!

Those bets are being made across the board. It looks like everyone is trying to get something before it's too late. I think the only RC I haven't seen increase dramatically in the last few weeks is Mantle. Perhaps he's next?
