Nice card

Sold previously on auction for just more than $1500 in the fall. Quick turn on that one!

I tried to buy it in August while still raw for $1k, but seller said he had $2k offers already. We see how that worked out

Your card hobby/business and his industry exist because of fans like me who pay for tickets and suites. We discussed that on your vlad thread. Without that you're building trains and collecting coins or stamps and baseball is major league lacrosse or competitive eating. Yes I have a bunch of stuff from eloy and gave his dad a bunch of cards I had. I haven't looked at it in several years. His auto however is garbage.

Eloy looks the part and has always had the maturity. Yoan has been a great influence on him and I think he'll do very well.

Thank you so much for your service. Without you I wouldn't be able to collect cards or have any value in what I have. I hope you're always around to ensure this hobby is always around.

you're welcome. I hope the cba mess next winter doesn't ruin another season and further damage the value of the present generation. I feel like this will likely be the only one of last year and next year that is played in full.

Maybe you should be in the next allen & ginter set since you're such a vital part of our hobby

Yep prices are different than in the fall on Eloy, great buy at 2k on that

The 2019 Eloy Heritage Superfractor sold for only $1800 in auction in the fall of 2019. The buyer immediately relisted it at $3800 but it wasn't sold. Last I saw of it after that.

Have a few TC Eloy, but got in on this a few years ago.

CWS play like they are expecting and it may have turned out to be a good investment.

I was surprised it didn’t go for more, honestly... I guess Eloy hasn’t seen the pop that other player have? Or maybe I was offering too much?

I saw the raw factory foilboard sell for $280 last night... I bought a PSA10 for $650... maybe I paid too much???

I’m pretty sure that will seem like a steal by the all star break.

Yes millions of fans as a collective not just you. Here’s a fact you may not like but if you don’t go to games the sport will continue. They won’t miss your 50 dollars twice a season .

Preview picture of my Eloy box minus a few I have yet to sort out from recent pickups and breaks (with spill over of my Frank Thomas boxes...Oh and possibly my favorite card under that auto Leaf - 1993 Frank Thomas Finest Refractor PSA 9):

Eloy's bump has been right in line with market for his 1st Chrome Auto and Topps Chrome Base refractor.

What has been his bump from Oct to now?

I considered bidding but held off. I did think it would cross $300, though.

$650 is only $100-150 more than a gold PSA-10. The more-rare-and-less-popular makes it tough to judge. It doesn't trade often enough to gather consensus, so you just have to grab one when you think it makes sense. I bought a BGS true gem last July for $375 and it's currently sitting on myslabs at $1200obo. Obviously high, but it's a rare card. It might take time to reach there, but I'm in no rush.

All this talk about eloy foilboard...made an offer on this earlier and it got accepted.

I took 1st Chrome Auto prices in November and he's up ~50% in a market that is up ~55%. His Chrome base refractor is up about 45% since mid December. I don't have a real gauge of the market on those because I only have a handful of players...all guys I'm chasing...but I don't imagine they are up much more than 1st Chrome overall.

Nice card

It was I. Felt it finished out a fun foursome. Now I just need to cross the black.

Wow - what’s up w/ Eloy’s base sapphire prices???

I was buying PSA 10s last fall for $200... they are now approaching $1000...

Yet at the same time other things I bought of his on auction at the same time are flat or maybe slightly up in that same time. All are now cheaper all while much rarer, much harder to gem... Like a couple Heritage ROA red and blue ink, or flagship Independence Day #/76, or Factory set foilboard.

I guess I should have only purchased Sapphires?!?

Thank you again sir for the amazing deal a while back on my psa 10 sapphire which now is a steal of a price. I should have picked up a psa 10 auto though when those were "cheap". My BGS green auto, which sure has a auto 10 grade and overall a 9.5 seems crappy with a 9 subscore on the edges. So my sapphire collection is that green auto in my picture above, a psa 10 base sapphire, 5 base raw sapphires and 3 base raw autos.
