Yeah I mean this is just nuts. I almost bought it at the release but got distracted and forgot to circle back. You’ve got some nice equity there! Haha

Once the PR for the new Griffey comes out, older Griffey's are going to skyrocket in price again. Watch the Beck Griffey hit $1000 quick.

If it does, that makes it better for the Baller Trout.

The Griffey already has more than what? Pre-sells of the Baller Trout on eBay when the card was up on Topps?

For those who are concerned about high print runs and getting stuck selling a bunch of cards, bundling is the new “thing“ in sports card transactions. In the past, people would offer discounts if someone purchased a large lot of the same card. Now there can actually be premiums for selling in bulk as people are treating sports cards like stock shares and paying for the convenience of acquiring many copies at once.

I’m neither a proponent nor a detractor; I’m just a small time collector and observer of the behaviors of large money people entering the card scene from the finance world.

This isn’t a commentary on the potential of this set, just a general market trend observation across sports cards in the past couple years.
That said, I believe in this sets longevity.

I wonder how many will be in hand for December national (assuming that happens). Maybe 175 or so. Who's rolling into the convention center with a couple breifcase sets of 175 ready to wheel and deal?

Interesting that the Grotesk Jeters are at $500 and the Saladeen Jeters are "only" hovering around $200.

Under 10k print run at this point is pretty good, and it's Jeter's first card. And Saladeen's artwork on the card feels pretty iconic. Surprised this one is so low considering the Trout at 34k is approaching $200.

Speaking of Ripken, he should have another card coming this week. I know that Baller is working on him and I really can't wait to see that one.

If I had a suitcase of Ermsy Trout and one of baller Ichiro I would do this. Just roll up and tell the first person you see: "Take me to Gary V"

Why am I annoyed that Baller’s Trout is ONLY $150-200. Someone knock some sense into me.

I’m actually really surprised this card hasn’t gotten closer to $2k. A print run similar to trout ermsy, and Griffey’s lowest print run. Saladeen is pretty popular too. Much higher print run Jeter is moving.

CANCELLATION ALERT - eBay User ID nyc20142014

Cancelled Artist Proof: Efdot Mays
Cancelled Artist Proof: Grotesk Gwynn

Also, I had difficulty finding out how to leave negative FB for the seller when they cancelled. Here is where I finally figured out how to do it:

http://pages.ebay.com/services/forum/feedback.html

Use the above link. On the right hand side of the page, second box down, use the link that says LEAVE FEEDBACK.

This will bring up every transaction still eligible for feedback. Just a note, if the seller is a PowerSeller, it won't let you leave it for seven days past the cancel date. On day eight, you will be able to leave feedback.
