Moreover, for such a scheme to work, the same card should have been on the market multiple times within a short period of time, which is not the case (except SN #56) based on the data below- Quote:
EDIT: The total graded pop of PMG Red's is 59 (PSA and BGS). Assuming the pop report is inflated ~20% due to crossovers and resubmissions, true pop is probably close to 50. As far as I know, it is not only rare but also has been a sought after card for a while. When I entered sports cards in late 2018, it was my #1 Jordan card to acquire because I liked the aesthetics of it in addition to its rarity. It took me more than a year to acquire one because most owners that I contacted on IG were not willing to sell theirs. I was finally able to acquire one in April 2020 and I paid high six figures for it. I have no plans to sell mine for the next 5-10 years or maybe even longer and it will be one of the last five cards in my PC that I would part with. Any collectible that is rare and desirable has gone up 10-50X in the past 5 years and no one can deny that. And looking at the sales data above, 97 MJ PMG Red's do not show up for sale every month or two like Brady Champ Ticket, Lebron Exquisite RPA, Jordan 86F PSA 10. There has been only one public sale of 97 MJ Red PMG in the past 8 months compared to 8 Lebron Exquisite RPA's and 12 Brady Champ Tickets. That just shows most owners are not flipping them for profit.

Bonhams literarily requires you to pay them a hefty fee if your treasures don't sell. Scams only move upward in other collectable realms.

You can swap out PMG's in this scenario for other cards that are iconic. For example, let's say you have 25 PSA 9 Jordan 86 Fleers. Maybe sell a couple to yourself at a record price. You've established the market and you're ready to sell them off. |

Man, can you imagine those who took the advice of others and sold their LBJ Exquisite /23 /99 for 10-15K or sold off all their MJ autos or inserts in 2015 because of wild theories.
In the end those who preach those theories-- were WRONG. It's 2022, and card prices are SIGNIFICANTLY higher then they were in 2015 and WAYYYYY higher then 2010. Time to go beat another dead horse. But my condolences really goes out to those who sold early based on some really bad advice. Those who gave those advices. You cost people life changing money. Maybe that's why people should mind their own business. Last edited by 98pmgs; 07-16-2022 at 10:48 AM. |

I just don't think that is really necessary here. Cards have been hyped to the moon over recent years. There are plenty of platforms to hype whatever you want without money exchanging hands. I don't doubt there have been fake "private sales" or shilled auctions. I just don't think fake auction house sales (I'm not talking about ebay) is the norm or preferred route to take here. We've seen ~30 or so PMG sales (Jordan since that seems to be the example cited here) based on the data I shared +/- others that have moved privately. So lets say about a third of the copies have exchanged hands over the last 11 years, with about half of those occuring well before the explosion. A handful have sold more than once, but the volume of sales post explosion isn't notably different, so that doesn't suggest to me that people are dumping copies to unsuspecting buyers.

Take a $120k sale after BP on PWCC. You have your buddy win it and pay. You give him $120k. You “net” $110k, and are out $10k in fees.. Your cost basis was $10k. You likely pay 20-40% tax total. So another $20-40k out of your pocket, to total $30-50k in fees and taxes that you paid to fake a $120k sale. You’re a moron. Or you think you’re smart and you never pull the funds off PWCC, and put them into another card instead. You’ve dodged the taxes and only paid $10k to fake the sale. That’s great, because PWCC doesn’t give out 1099. You’re so awesome! Until it’s 2027, the government cracks down on people dodging taxes through auction houses, and starts requesting records from years past. Oops. Now you’re paying a penalty, interest, and the taxes you owe for your fake sale that didn’t net you anything.

Or you can simply fake the sale. Win, never pay. Then get sources like CL to post the same, mark them with 5/5 confidence and show an arrow pointing to the moon. You get the same affect but nothing changes hands. All you need is partners making the same play!! Then guys like you can sit here and say..... "Yea you should have known better and done your research blah blah blah... I knew to take the sale price with skepticism even though I talk out of both sides of my mouth and support the guys that advertise unvetted sales and claim them to be facts" I really dont care either way. You are free to spend your money whatever you like just as you are free to be naive while doing it. |

I don't think any one is making the claim that ONLY PMG cards have been pumped.

You don't think people sold their 90s MJ autos/inserts, LBJ exquisites RPAs based on FUD? I'm a fact based person. MJ autos in 2010 were 300 bucks. Today they're near 10K. Whoever said they were overvalued back in 2010- WRONG. Whoever said they were overvalued back in 2015 when they were 1000- WRONG. It's even worst for LBJ Exquisite RPA. You had people selling at 10-20K. Now that card is 700K+. Those people cost those collectors and their families LIFE CHANGING MONEY. THE FACTS ARE DURING THAT TIME- THEY WERE SUPER UNDERVALUED. The price today is proof. Are they undervalued today? I have no idea man. I didn't know in 2010, I didn't know in 2015, and I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I know in 2022. I'm happy with my collection and thats that. but seriously, 12 years later man... and people still preaching the same ol' crap. Why can't people admit they were wrong?

The market was a sham and it got spoken into reality. I don't understand why that fact upsets people. The "people" you're referring to weren't advising people based on the intentions of price fixers and colluders who designed to alter perceptions of value. And you mention the RPA, it's 700k now? You can thank price fixing. Once there's movement you don't need to continue doing this stuff perpetually. It just takes one, maybe two sales, even easier today.

Personally I don’t think you can ever go wrong if you are able to sell a card at a profit. Can’t worry about what happens after you sell. No one saw the ridiculous prices coming the past three years. If I had I would have bought a lot more for my Collection 5-6 years ago had I known. People need to be accountable for their own decisions, buy, sell, or hold. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Huh? Whatever the card “sells” for is what eBay is going to report on your 1099, unless payment is never made. In which case, the sale doesn’t make it to Terapeak. Although Terapeak isn’t perfect either. I see 15 BGS and PSA sales above $100k this year, and at least two of them aren’t real.

2012 Panini gold prizms are a perfect example. Notice how they exploded after a certain few people loaded up on them? It's easy to follow, just watch auctions and peoples "mail day posts". "Just got this for my PC! I've been searching for a decade!", ,then a week later "I have this for sale DM if interested". They don't even hide it anymore. |

The LeBron RPA fix was back in 2018, correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think eBay was doing Terapeak and I don't remember exactly when they began their policy with taxes, but it's relatively recent. Couple years, so maybe 2018. One or two verifiable transactions is all you need, even if you're buying your own item.

I agree you only need one sale on thinly traded cards. But my argument is that it’s difficult to accomplish and irrational in today’s high-end market.

I have also seen cards not paid for that didnt get relisted in the next auction. So there goes that idea that 100% of non payment auctions get auto relisted. |
