E90-1.....and the "Dirty Thirty" theory

[Archive]

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Those last 4 pop report numbers are so far out of whack with the scarcity of those respec-
tive cards, it's really laughable.

Look, I am not trying to be contentious here, I can only relay to you of my experiences with
E90-1 cards....collecting them and selling them for many years.

I'm a firm believer that actual experience far outweighs any information that is garnered from
pop reports.

For example (and I think this is what Frank is alluding to)....a common card will be advertised
as a "low pop" dude (relative to the pop reports on any given star card in that set).

Well, dang it.....not too many collectors are that interested in getting a "joe schmo" graded.
So, it's no wonder that indeed "joe schmo" is a low pop card. Then a seller is advertising "joe
schmo" as a "low pop" card and sure enough there are idiots who will pay big $$ for this card.

It's a a crazy collecting world out there in "grading-land", and it's getting crazier !
