People have lost their minds buying on EBay!
 

Purchasing raw cards at PSA/BGS 9 prices with only seeing a front view of a Mike Trout and no back photo and having zero clue if their are surface issues..... and this is why people are trying to sell raw cards at graded prices...but then they hide flaws, etc! So when you get them, they are garbage!

Tell us more, Mr. Science!

Tell us where this hobby hurt you.

Lol Just common sense... everyone keeps buying garbage at stupid prices, people will stop buying ungraded. The result, it pushes out even further the grading turnaround times longer then they already are.

so did you buy or sell the Trout with only seeing the front photo?

You can say that again.

Lots of weird threads on here lately.

If raw cards have flaws and graded cards are trimmed then what cards are safe to buy?

Wax..

Several large leaps in logic getting to longer grading time. Higher raw sales means more raw listings generally. It also lowers incentives to grade. You are assuming that people will buy raw and grade and feel burned. This happens certainly, but with ebays overly liberal return policy there is plenty of time for inspection. I'd argue that some of what you are seeing is a lowering of premium on modern graded issues. If half of raw cards out of packs are grading at 10, there is low risk to buying raw. It could also be the sign of a healthy market paired with log grading waits. This shows high demand for the card. There are plenty of reasons to be wary or angry about the card market, but high raw sales seems a bit strange to worry about.

Asset prices are going up, up, up, and that includes trading cards. Maybe you're comparing raw prices today vs graded mint prices a few weeks ago?

People have lost their minds because they're paying ridiculous premiums for PSA 10's/BGS 9.5's of modern cards.....

This is what happens when the Fed creates $2,000,000,000,000 out of thin air....:D

You guys never let me down! One of my favorite types of BO threads.

My descriptions say...8.5 at minimum/ if your looking for a 9.5/10 then beat it. Oh yea and ITS EBAY not like buyers don’t already control every aspect of the sale. Send it back if your that guy...so who cares? Not like you’ll keep it if its not a 10 right?

Let's get out the court room doll

In the last few weeks I've sold 3 cards that had best offer available but the buyers have skipped it and just bought it at my buy it now price. I'm not exactly listing the cards that low. I think people have just became more impatient.

Exact thing happened to me today. Was a little surprised an offer wasn’t made.

Soooo, don’t grade. I never understood the pathological need of some people to pay others to tell them wether they should like a card or not. If you like the card it does not matter what others think about it.

And then ask why the dollar is devalued

Yep its getting to be a thing...and everyone knows if its got a best-offer option...its overpriced :D
I had 2 of these just last week and another one this am.

Anyone ever think that topps and panini invests XXX amount of dollars buying at stupid prices to push the market? Market manipulation isn't new to this hobby.
