Paul Skenes Superfractor Ends in Goldin

[Casey2296]

Sold for 10k less than the recent sale of an Sgc 4 1914 Cracker Jack Joe Jackson.

Just sayin'...

[Peter_Spaeth]

A mere 2.9 million for a Jordan.

I can’t imagine paying that much for any card, but certainly not a card that is only graded “authentic”. Only the autograph is graded a 10.

It's the only one so I guess it doesn't matter. Not sure they even give these number grades.

Would you rather have the Jordan 1/1 or this (along with a nice beach house to put it in):

I would definitely rather have the Jordan than the Wagner

[Peter_Spaeth]

If you have 3 million to spend on Jordan, you probably don't need to make choices like that.

You and me both

It’s blasphemy on a vintage card forum and goes against everything I believe as a vintage collector, but from an investment standpoint:

It took only 21 years for Jordan’s to eclipse $2MM+ vs. 100+ years for Wagner. It’s a 1/1 vs Wagner is 1/60+. As Jordan ages and passes on, he’ll become more mythical like our beloved vintage baseball pioneers and will have a very big market of buyers in the next 50-100 years.

Looks like it's graded a 7 to me, not just Authentic. I agree with some others that if the buyer bought it to flip it, then they have a good chance at making a profit on this one. But only in the short term. Long term, it's going to tank. Pitchers always do in the modern market.

Dude can hope to one day win an award named after this guy, whose true 1 of 1 rookie I would rather own (actually now do own) for 5x the cost of the 1 of 1 Bowman Chrome superfractor Skenes that also sold last night

Wow! Congrats, Ryan!

Jesus, that's more than my house.

Great card, Ryan. Congrats!

Personally, I wouldn't want to own either (meaning I had to pay for it--a gift is OK). I'd rather have a card of Gil on the Yankees than that guy. As for the Young it is an early photograph of Cy Young, not, in my mind, a baseball card. Do we even know if its issuance was related to baseball? I'd MUCH MUCH rather own the Just So.

Skenes may need to outperform Kershaw, Verlander and Scherzer to retain value. Probably would have to be tue 2nd coming of Nolan Ryan as a no-hitter/strikeout machine.

[ClementeFanOh]

Yikes! 80k for a guy who has pitched 4 games. Think of a) the cards you
could buy for 80k that dust that card's drawers or b) any other thing you
could buy as an investment or to make you happy, or both, for 80k. That
would be an awfully LONG list for me. No bueno. Trent King

His quote was about the Jordan auto card, not the Skenes.

Aaah, thanks for clarifying.
