Michael Jordan RC, PSA 10, shatters 100k !!!

[vintg]

felt like this deserved it's own, "new" thread

after heritage closed one for 96k on may 9th, now...

we have pwcc at 110k with 5 days to go in the auction still.

I think this is absolutely phenomenal for the hobby (of sportscards,
in general), it's got to bring great exposure and attention eclipsing the
100k amount.

Dang, when I said the Fleer Jordan is like the 52 Mantle, I didnt mean price wise. Wow!

[MJGOAT23]

Apocalypse. The world has gone mad.

[Kobe101]

But is it real?

Or is it just a move so that someone can move theirs in a month for a nice % increase?

The power of a PSA label. I find it crazy that in light of all we have learned about the sheer incompetence in their ability to catch altered cards, people are still willing to pay a massive premium for a minuscule difference in condition for a 10 over a 9. And to pay that price at the venue most implicated in all the funny business? No thanks. For this money I would buy a strong provenience game used piece and a perfectly centered 9 that is only differs from the 10 because the grader had a bad morning in traffic before looking at the card and still have tens of thousands left over.

It comes down to this: collectors care, investors don't.

Weren’t gems selling for over 100k 15 years ago? Then they came down as the grading boom hit.

[whoaitsg33]

wit the second stimulus package these will even fetch for more!

[gomiamigo]

18k a couple years ago people are dumb.

I remember when 4SharpCorners.com had one available for $18K a few years ago and sent an email to its mailing list about it.

I saw the email in my inbox about 30 minutes after it was sent and wanted to buy it, but someone had already snatched it up by then. I wish I’d been quicker on the gun back then.

......and....we have a correction on the pwcc auction site.......

now, listed at $87,625


oh well, here's hoping it ENDS above 100k. LOL

(and, no, I don't have one)

(the fact that heritage sold at 96k is "comforting", anyways)

The “ones” buying it or the “ones” believing these are sold? Maybe tomorrow, “someone” will bid 200k and we will break new records again. We can have a daily record breaking thread lol

to deny there hasn't been a massive upward wave in ALL Jordan rookies
is kind of foolish, imho


I just happen to think breaking the 100k barrier is SIGNIFICANT


the more publicity into the mainstream, the better. again, jmo

You had me until PWCC...

Someone can buy Evan Mathis's probably trimmed PSA 10

As much as the bidding on this copy may not be legitimate, the PSA 10 Jordan should be a six figure card. Imagine cutting the LeBron TC PSA 10 pop from 1979 to 312. And then eliminating every other LeBron RC that exists. How much would that card sell for?

And that's why it doesnt matter if its trimmed or not to many. Buying the grade rather than the card.

Also, seeing these 86 Jordan prices shows just how undervalued the 2nd Yr. 87 Fleer PSA 10 really is—even after the jump it has taken recently. Pop 197.

I thought the Lebron Exquisite RPA /99 was the comparison to the 86 fleer?

I would not compare a card with tens of thousands of copies to one with just 99.

I see your point

[15ncounting]

The two PWCC PSA 10s that are up on eBay right now, look at the large pictures, the're not even close to PSA 10 condition. lol. Corners are white and one is off-center T-B.. I've seen nicer 9's.. If I spend that type of money I want a card that deserves the grade, crazy how people will spend money just on the label grade alone. Same goes for the 1980 Bird/Magic RC.

Agree ^^^. Lots of PSA 10's are actually PSA 9's or BGS 9/9.5's if cracked and resubmitted based on centering and corner/edge wear. One might as well buy a nice PSA 9/BGS 9 for 1/10th of the price of a PSA 10.

EDIT: The current PSA 10 prices make this a prime candidate of more widespread trimming. I would not be surprised if the PSA 10 Pop starts to increase slowly!
