What the F#ckstein?

Did you really need 3 threads to show off the prices of your card, and another to showcase them on the front page?


Just curious.

Don't be an asshole. I didn't need three threads. I didn't know how to post a link--so I fixed it. I'm not chatboard savvy at akll. Everyone's an opportunist to guys like you. I'm pissed about the prices knucklehead. You always think the worst. You are a tool.

Why would I want to brag on prices I'M NOT GETTING? I sold that Mantle a month ago for 65.00...it's selling for 30x that today???
That's the point. Why not offer an insight or two? All I ever do here is tell people how great their cards are share some artwork. I have never sold a card on here. You tool.

I'm surprised Probstein put them up with the fake PSA slabs.

Those are the green custom slabs. Not fake at all. The cards do look sharp in them, I'll give em that.
Maybe that's the big difference maker (along with his audience). Ironically, the "other" poster gave me a solid idea...maybe. Should I consign with Rick??? His service has always been solid for me on eBay.
Big Stein smells a MERGER!!!

Congrats on the success man. Why not consign? You aren't selling out to the man by doing it. People like your art and are willing to pay premiums through a large dealer. There's nothing wrong with finding a niche and capitalizing on it.

Good luck in your decision making process.

You are correct sir!!!!!!!!!!!No need to get your boxers in a flutter.

Did y'all see where these ended? 2 of the Mantle's went for over $7800. Does Sir Raffles rake in that kind of dough? Congrats, Phil. I don't think anyone can call these broders now...Rob

Am I missing something? These are modern day cards. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But, they should not have any "real" value

In my opinion those listings were terrible. They just call them 1952 cards and make no mention that they're "art cards" or "fake cards". The custom psa slabs are misleading as well. I'm guessing there's some wealthy noobs getting taken (or the two morons in the bidding war won't actually pay for them). Without those bidders these two $7800 cards could have sold for $73 and $122.50. I don't believe anyone would actually pay that much for these if they know what they are.

Contemporary artists can make a lot of money. See Jeff Koons.

This.

More cases of clueless money hiding that will continue up to the election. These will be coming back, if they get paid for. Stay tuned for the sequel.

This is always my issue with undated “art cards”. I do appreciate that Banty Red at least does not masquerade under the guise of using a real vintage brand to assist in fleecing newbies. That one really drives me.

So the player images and the team logos are licensed?

[RCMcKenzie]

Dan, I don't own any of these cards. I don't have to defend the product. I don't see any difference from Warhol using the Monroe images for pop-art. If new Topps cards can sell for hundreds of thousands, why not 7800 for these? If I'm supposed to feel sorrow for a great-nephew of a deceased player, who wants a cut from Banty Red, well, I suppose I could be hammered for that. Rob

[dstudeba]

Not attacking you, I just thought that the definition of a Broder was that it was unlicensed.
