Old Judge auctions prices????

[ullmandds]

this reminds me of an old bugs bunny cartoon..."dog pile on the rabbit!"

Whatever. I was asking about the prices being higher than normall. I never said there was any wrong doing. Never mind asking a valid question about pricing being higher than normall. Since I only collect 205's those prices seem higher than what I have seen even recently. Just wondering why. Seems Matt was the only to give an explanation.

I am stunned that none of you read the entire post before jumping me for no reason. I never questioned Lew at all. Maybe all you read was the word Old Judge in the title and SHILLING in the post and made comments. I just wanted to get info since I am the one buying these types of cards. If there is a big shift in the market I missed then I need to be on top of it.

I am NOT saying there is any thing going on but the price per card is higher than normal.
I am just curious as to why someone would pay more than the cards are worth and they are not even graded yet. Maybe I am wrong but it does seem odd. I have never bought a large lot of cards like this so I am not familiar with pricing but I thought the more cards you have the cheaper the prices get. Is there some Super Short prints or rare cards in there I over looked? Can anyone help explain the pricing. These are prices as of 3-30-10 and don't have final fees involved either.


BTW Matt I use VCP, Card Pricer, Ebay, and auction houses for pricing. Not books like Beckett and SMR. Don't see how those are not market values.

As John Stewart would say:

"I'm NOT saying your mother's a whore! I'm just saying she sleeps with lots of guys... for money!"

I like that Jim. Yep just another foolish thought from the Pupster Lew has been around longer than the dirt on the earth. (Hi Lew) Gets great prices from a large client base! Andrew do some homework once in awhile before you stick your foot in your mouth again

Its pointless with you guys.

Since the focus is on shilling and we all know Lew is not involved in this, if there was any going on do you think maybe it came from another bidder since this seems to be the road everyone is discussing. I mean this never happens right. You all think I am attacking Lew and I am not. Just keep stirring the crap for no reason. I never questioned Lew once yet you all act like I said he was involved in bad auction practices. Doesn't matter what I say you all will focus on the bad and manipulate it to see fit for you.

Can't Andrew ask a valid question without all this BS! I don't see where he accused anybody of anything. He never even mentioned any names. Awhile back Leon complained about members reading this post, but not actively participating. If this is how ya'll respond to legit concerns within the hobby, I, for one, will think twice before I question anything.

I think the question was valid and I didn't get the impression that Andrew was accusing anybody of wrongdoing, merely questioning what he thought was an unusually high price for a lot of commons.

However, I think the answer is pretty simple. As anybody who seriously collects this set is no doubt aware, high grade examples of ANY card are few and far between. Many of the cards in the lot of 16 would likely grade at or near the top of the registry, for those interested in such things (and are just really outstanding examples for those who aren't). Based on the fronts at least, I don't see anything that would grade lower than a PSA/SGC 5 with most at a 6 or even 7 (7.5 with the right connections ). When you couple that with the outstanding reputation of the seller, I think the per card price is actually quite reasonable.
