Centered copies to the moon

Yeah, that one was shocking.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I think this is the start of bifurcation for the update Sapphire US44 market, unless the boxes that start getting opened are markedly more centered.

That one had 27 bidders. It wasn’t just 2 people having a bidding war. I wouldn’t be surprised to see these go higher as it looked like 5% of cards or less might be centered based on eBay listings.

i wouldn’t expect that ebay listings are a good way to estimate gem %. enough people grade today that the obvious 9’s and below are going to get listed at a much higher rate than the clean centered copies.

For sure on that, but I’m also taking anecdotes from this thread. Majority of people complaining of O/C Issues as well. It might tick up a bit, but there’s almost no chance something like 80% of them are centered based on all available data.

I don’t think 80% are but i also don’t think only 1/20 are gem.

Still not clear to me that this wasn’t a pump and cancel situation… we’ll see if it gets re-listed, but this seemed quite extravagant if not

It’s so annoying so many get graded as a default… means it removes so many cards from my potential pickup universe

So what do we think the Julio Rodriguez autographs will bring? Just trying to get an idea for when my 10 boxes arrive and I pull one. Lol

Orange/25
Purple/10
Red /5
Superfractor /1

Wrong Sapphire.

[zworykin]

Indeed. It isn't even US1, it's just 1...

And if it WERE US1, it would be Max Scherzer!

Ahhhh you guys are right. I’ve had too much vino

1/1 Pena debut papa pulled by someone I know on discord

Since most rookies have two cards what is the factor that makes one a true rc?

The rookie debut is generally less desirable.

You mean the base card and the Rookie Debut card?

It's the one that's not the Rookie Debut card.

(Though really, both are rookie cards, absent a situation like BB'21 throwing a wrench into the works.)
