1959 Topps baseball - ALL PSA 9's (4x)!!! ENDING TONIGHT (5/16)!

sounds like you did pretty well for commons.... if you don't like sell prices, you have three options, put a reserve on them, have your starting price as your reserve or don't sell them!

while there is a demand for higher graded cards, in turn, they were commons.... and if you got 275$ for 15$ in cards, that is 18X guide, you did well.( i didnt look up the numbers, im going by Doug's post.) i'd be happy with 2X guide.

well put Fubar......I guess I was basing my expectations on past sales and VCP averages...when you see one card sell for $60 and the other one sell for $30 within a month of each other, and they are exactly the same, it makes me wonder "what is wrong with mine"......

Doug's post is incorrect.....it makes me think he is just flying off at the mouth and is really unsure of the value of high grade cards in the 1959 set.

PS - if you have any 4 1959 Topps commons in a PSA 9, I will give you $100 for them!!!! So you can buy them for $15, and I'll pay you $100!!! Good deal for you!

past sales can be sometimes deceiving. If two guys want one card, they can drive up the price, however, next time the same card could only have one guy that really wants it because the other guy now has one.. chances are the price will drop.....

There are a lot of guys like me out there that appreciate high graded cards, but also like me, they do not collect commons unless it is pre-war. My issue is space and money constraints.

I will admit that my post was a bit snotty, but my records show me that I paid a total of $15 for the same four cards in decently centered, nice corners, nice colors condition when I was putting my 1959 set together within the last few years.

I am 12 cards away from completing "master" sets of all Topps regular issue sets from 1952 thru 1981, so I am well versed in the costs of each individual card, and their variations, at least in regards to what they have cost me.
