If we want to talk about pricing, then let’s talk about pricing.

Since it was raised earlier in the thread, let’s use the Maz as an example.

See pic below for the piece in question.

Most (not all) of the stuff that I’m selling is rare. In some cases it’s just hard to find in any grade. In other cases, it’s rare for the grade. That makes pricing a lot more exciting, because often there are no comps.

In this case, this piece is rare for the grade. It’s a 1 of 1 at this grade. You can definitely find them ungraded, and probably at lower grades. This grade would be tough to pull from an ungraded copy. If it was easy to get from a raw piece, there would be more that are graded at this level.

So the big question then is how do you price it? As we all know, the tippy top of the grading scale usually commands a decent premium. I know that’s heresy to a lot of people around here that a PSA 10 that is 1 of 1 should sell for a big multiple of a PSA 9. But that’s often the way it shakes out.

It’s true that you can get a raw piece like this for relatively little. Maybe $20 or $50 at the most. Most of them will have condition issues, and are very unlikely to grade at PSA 8.

So how do you price it? In this case, there are no comps that really tell you what it should be. It’s whatever I can agree on when I find a motivated buyer who really wants it. It could sit for years (already has), and I’m fine with that. I’m asking $700, but I’m flexible if someone wants to make me an offer. But I’m not giving it away.

But anyone else who thinks they know what this should be worth is just guessing, or really wants to buy it, but also really really wants to pay less than I’m asking.
