What is "Biggest" Card that has changed hands here on Net54?

[scooter729]

I've mentioned this one recently, but the one that keeps haunting me is when I tried to sell a 1958 Pele Alifabolaget PSA 9 soccer card on here around 2014-15 for $5,000. Not even a nibble. I ended up selling it elsewhere and got the $5,000 price, which I was told was the highest price ever for a soccer card at the time.

It resold a few times in the years that followed, jumping exponentially each time. Last sale was a year ago, for $1.3M. Ouch.

And ouch to all of you who were around then, for missing the boat when I posted it 8-9 years ago!

Yikes!

I am not sure the biggest/most expensive card I bought or sold off BST (done plenty of $20k+ deals as buyer and seller), but I have done huge deals privately with people I met on net54, including buying a t206 Wagner and Doyle from a board member. That said, assuming you mean specifically a deal posted on BST, I have no doubt there have been a couple 6 figure deals, but I doubt seven figures on BST. I feel 5 figure deals are common place now (several per month), and I don’t know what can be bought for less than 4 figures nowadays, on BST or anywhere else. Recently I sold several t206 brown old mills for $22k per card.

I’m pretty sure Hal’s Wagner changed hands indirectly here.
Leon might chime in on this.

I think, for this discussion we could encompass deals with people we've met through the forum.

My guess would be Ryan's Wagner.

Although y'all did have a chance at the Nun's Wagner at a discount but nobody would take poor Andrew(?) seriously.

There are countless amazing items that can be purchased for way less than 4 figures.

I dunno...it seems we have been told that greatness starts with at least 6 figures.

True enough. I only collect prewar (WWII) HOFers, and I feel nowadays most of those cards, even beaters, are over $1000. But point taken.
