2633 Club?

Great. Now I have to get my tattoo redone.

Bigbluesooner · 05-15-2019, 05:00 PM

I hate to admit I am losing interest with this set every week. I missed a few weeks in the 75-90ish weeks and picked them up on the bay. Then after Ruth I was excited again and was motivated to keep getting them. With the exception of a couple cards, the last few weeks haven't done much for me. I was planning on sticking with it. I'll pick up this week and probably stay around until 200. Then I'll just get singles of cards I want to collect.

I wouldn't be so keen on buying any Kendrick at a premium. I don't think he'll be the low man for very long.

gamboooler · 05-15-2019, 05:37 PM

Another request for Topps... in case this is his final season with the team, can we get a Brett Gardner Yankees card?

People will be chasing for a while. I agree this will not be the SP forever. But it will be for a while. Just you wait until you see the common PR the next few weeks!

We’re going to see people start unloading those stashed up Markakis cards before it becomes #3 or #4

kidfan9 · 05-15-2019, 11:00 PM

I've been holding out on buying the first 9 thinking another SP was in the offing and if I waited long enough the prices on the first 9 will come down some. Hopefully with a new low that will occur so I can feel better about buying a few.

I think many people will be getting out after 200, then even more after 300. I’m hoping interest grows after that.

I have to agree, I’ve been in on 3 sets and I’m thinking of bailing at 200.

saraceno21 · 05-16-2019, 10:45 AM

I like it when people say they are bailing on the set. It gives me visions of more SP's.

I'll be patiently waiting as I missed out on Markakis last year.

gamboooler · 05-16-2019, 12:49 PM

Suggestion for those whose interest is waning, just collect your team. So much better IMO. I had the whole set into the 160s, sold it off, don't regret it whatsoever. Just doing my Yankees in PSA 10 and my interest in the set picked back up.

I have been collecting the Cubs and have all but Ian Happ which is still out of my price range right now. (at least he's under $100 for raw versions.)

i agree! collect who you like

alwaysworking · 05-16-2019, 09:46 PM

There is undoubtedly less Markakius for sale then Kendrick. The price for the Markakius is not likely going down much or for very long.
that's my opinion.

We have to remember, Markakis is more than a print run. It's an iconic card in the Living community and will likely always be.

Even after 10 cards beat the PR, it'll always hold value due to its history.

I believe it will always have value but not sure if it will be the most valuable ten or twenty years from now. Example, if Aaron Judge has a monster career, he may overtake Markakis as the most valuable considering it is card number one and has great artwork.

You never know what is going to happen. I would have thought some of the 2018 that weren't hot last year might pick up. I'm wrong.

I would have thought some 4 year old Topps Now cards with 200 PR would pick up by now. I'm wrong.

I saw a potential etopps situation here. I'm wrong.

If only I was right...

Kendrick at 55.00 with four days to go

Correct its now the Living Set's eTopps Tony Banks. People are way too invested in it for it to completely tank.

Tony Banks...over $1000 at one point in time...

Cam Brady · 05-17-2019, 11:56 AM

Yes and people will still pay $100-$200 for it. So using history as a guide the downside is 80-90% from peak price.

There was no justification for that price. Sure, it was the lowest print run but really, at the end of the day, $1000 for it? Really?
