Seems like a low price to me...or it could be simply the GAI holder. It seems like they are losing out in the grading wars. But still that would only explain a small part of the price drop. |

It's because the card is in a GAI holder and is overgraded with paper loss on the back. The card is at best FR and GAI holder + paper loss on back = low prices. Mile High have also had their problems which could contribute to a lack of viewers/bidders. |

Brian, one reason may be that despite the Carolina Brights back, the paper loss seems to counteract any additional value the back may have had. As this forum always says, buy the card, not the slab. I think in a PSA or SGC slab, the card would have been a 1. As such, I'm not sure it is much lower than the going value. |

It does seem low, but one card is too small a sample to determine if the market is soft. I think you unfortunately didn't have the right combination of bidders. That can happen, and you can't predict it. |

I thought my items sold low. Granted they're W's, but still lower than what I've sold them for in the past. |

You must be speaking about other collectors...I'm certainly not holding onto cash. I don't think my wallet has seen cash in a long time. |

Base Ebay as for how well the overall hobby is.The way to get more bids though is to get more hits is use every key word in your description,but don't let the ebay auctions predict the hobby as softening,just my two cents:) |

are not stable sellers. Neither are difficult but not rare cards in very low grade. Both are better sold on ebay where a buyer doesn't have to worry about a buyer's premium. Did the prices stated above account for the BP or was that only the hammer price? |

It appears some collectors have a dislike for cards in GAI holders to such an extent that they veer away from the "buy the card not the holder" dictum and ignore the card. I recently had an Old Judge on ebay of a well known player, the card was a 2 and a very solid 2 but it got hammered price wise when compared to similar cards in PSA and SGC holders and even to raw OJs which looked trimmed or had back damage. I've normally received pretty good results with my cards on ebay so this one was a bit of a shock. If I had had any sense I would have ended the auction but we all deserve a nice deal from time to time and my buyer certainly got one. |
