Biggest percentage price drops you have seen since the pandemic pump

hermanotarjeta · 07-31-2022, 11:34 PM

Man, I recall 2019-20 Optic silver Lebrons selling for $150 raw last year.

One recently sold for $6.50.

Geez - 96% drop in price - that's crazy!!!

Have you seen any other drastic examples?

What about the LeBron Lakers Optic Rookie? Wow, that pump was impressive.

Like just under $1k to just under $100.

The holos were doing 1k+... think the highest sale price for the base was $490. Card is sitting on the bay for $25 now with free shipping.

That's wild

I actually believe that card does go up in price. Seems way too affordable. But the $1k price was nuts

Yeah, I feel the same. First year Optic (specially Holos with their print run) should go up.

It's funny how fast these cards go from underpriced to overpriced back to udnerpriced.

I remember selling a lot of 4 raw base Optics for just under $300 because they were well-centered and looked grade worthy. Buyer may even have made out okay if he managed to grade before PSA closed down. Crazy to think I was on the fence about selling them because I was considering having them graded myself.

Bol Bol Prizm Base peaking at over $800, now can be had under $10.

LeBron 2019 Prizm Base (first Lakers jersey)

But in other news... guess what is slightly UP from it's bottom?

Zion PSA 10 base and it's Pop of 21,401. From sub-$200 up to $225. #Invest

I don’t recall Bol Bol prizm base going anywhere near 800, I wanna say like 30-35$ was the top average going rate.

Seems like PSA 10 on base cards were hit the hardest, not surprising.

I’m not surprised prices came back to what they were. Think they are still up a bit.

Also, don’t think people are dumping basketball that much. I can NEVER find basketball at retail or the hobby shop. Think maybe the casuals left, but still plenty of interest in basketball from what I can tell.

Yes, it was a PSA 10 Bol Bol Base that sold for a max of $800 on August 10, 2020.

Honestly though, that wasn't the going rate, it was one bad buy. The next two highest sales were the same week, for $635 and $410. The rest were all $260 or under.

Ahh, I was thinking raw. I don’t buy PSA 10 in modern base, so I don’t even look at those prices. I’d hate to be that guy holding the bag on this.

Since I make it pretty apparent i'm a Nuggets collector, I had a fair number of people contact me on IG at the beginning of the year trying to offload Bol Bol PSA graded base cards.

I politely let them know I wasn't interested..

I can only imagine the number of guys holding Bol Bol optic base RC's they paid $80 for lol.

ljandkg · 08-01-2022, 01:40 AM

I pulled my KG topps rc out of my folder and got it graded for shits and giggles. It graded a 9 and I sold it for $250.

You can now get one for $17

sirvete · 08-01-2022, 02:57 AM

I remember trade the Ayton prizm silver RC (150$ trade value) and i got 1/1 Juan hernangomez triple patch (Bo Cruz) and Grant Hill auto jersey immaculate.

I feel a bit bad for my friend but was on that time a fair trade.

That poor guy. He'll forever be remembered when a Topps Chrome LeBron James PSA 10 is brought up.

He's not the only one...just the one many remember.

Most recent one ended for $4,750.

So is this where the card is going to be?

Poor guy spending $36,000 at least the seller knew when to dump it in 2020.

I’m pretty sure that 280k LeBron ref was the one Geoff Wilson bought. I wonder how many other Lebron’s he bought at or near peak prices..
