Sandy Koufax 1955 Topps 123 PSA 8

[fuzzybub]

I was looking at Clemente rookies from those same Memory Lane auctions and was wondering the same thing.

The dates in the PSA Auction database are wrong. Those auctions are from 2005 timeframe.

James,

I rechecked the actual Memory Lane auctions (the last three that I listed) and the extremely low auction prices are correct. Why so low?

I think a few people were trying to manipulate the market. Now nobody wants to catch a falling knife.

The summer of 16. Many of those cards are now hanging in limbo, imo, as most don't know what to think now as far as their true value goes.
I forget some of the numbers but I believe an 8 or 9, maybe even a 10 was well over $200k once.

Many said it wasn't likely ever really sold but one on here stated since they listed it at that price, that was the benchmark going forward.

The market manipulation that happened on that card didn't seem to stick like it did the Clemente rookie.

The last Memory Lane sale on your list ended 9/16/2007. https://memorylaneinc.com/site/bids/...ce?itemid=7293

The one above that ended 3/31/2006. https://memorylaneinc.com/site/bids/...ce?itemid=1568

The one above that ended 9/14/2008. https://memorylaneinc.com/site/bids/...e?itemid=11180


Look at the date on the three you listed. All show 1/1/2018 yet the names of the auctions are different.

Good catch.

James,

I just checked PSA again versus your list and all was a match except for the three Memory Lanes Auction house. Instead of denoting the actual dates PSA just used 1/1/2018, because they might not have had the actual dates,and like many systems they will just use 1/1/2018. Also, I should have figured that out as you states by the dates/very low prices. Thanks for your help.

I found all of the past sales by searching on the Memory Lane site.

[hedgefund96]

James,

I am disappointed in PSA and their dates. Would you suggest using VCP? Is there anybody else you would suggest that contains a "universe" of all auction baseball trading cards pricing?

[deepstep19]

Aren't auctions prices with those two usually lower because of the buyer premium?

[hedgefund96]

Troy,

How do you know that they are wrong? They match the VCP prices.
