May Goldin Auction

[Gem10collection]

Wow!! Can't believe what is on offer. A couple of thoughts;

This is maybe the greatest sports card auction I have ever seen.

The supply of Kobe cards hitting the market is both incredible and likely way too much.

[Arianny_Fan]

Yawn! Just relax, take a break. In a few years things should get a little interesting. These days it's the same ole same ole.

I am already seeing cards from past Goldin auctions getting relisted (Kobe Nebula 1/1) which is disappointing.

Wait I thought they collect always that’s the motto...

Smart money's cashing out and getting into MUDS and jersey numbered Soto NFTs.

This is what I posted in the Kobe thread before Goldin took the preview away:

Edit: I'm on the page now with my Kobe searches but looks like they shut it down and this was too early? Anyway, these were some of the hummers:

0.) Game worn and signed rookie jersey
1.) '97 PMG Red BGS 9
2.) Multiple '96 Finest Gold Refractors (PSA 10, BGS 10 and BGS 9.5, all w/o coating)
3.) '96 Finest Bronze Refractor w/coating PSA 10
4.) Metal Fusion Titanium /40
5.) Multiple '96 Flair Legacy cards, Row 0 and 1 from what I saw
6.) Two Jambalayas, PSA 10 and BGS 9
7.) Multiple '96 Bowman's Best Rookie Atomic Refractors
8.) Multiple Gem Topps Draft Redemptions
9.) '96 Precious Metal PSA 10
10.) '96 Ultra Platinum PSA 10 (Series One, RC)
11.) Metal Universe Championship PMG
12.) Both '97 Skybox Rubies
13.) '97 E-X2001 Credentials BGS 8.5
14.) Platinum Portraits BGS 9.5
15.) '97 Ultra Platinum Medallion BGS 8.5 (#1)
16.) Ultra Stars Gold BGS 8.5
17.) At least three '96 Topps Chrome Refractors
18.) Both '98 Credentials
19.) '98 Flair Masterpiece Row 1
20.) The Kobe/LeBron Exquisite MSG Dual Auto
21.) Both National Treasures Notable Nicknames Black Mamba autos

That's just the first page set at 100 results. It's overwhelming.

There were four pages of Kobe items. Gonna be great for buyers zeroing in on specific cards but I think some of the sellers are gonna be disappointed.

Kobe is obviously the star of this show but there is a TON of other amazing cards - MJ, LBJ, baseball HOFers.

But, again, it will be super interesting to see how many cards have been relisted from past auctions....

Haha. But what about their pre-approved bidders? That's what separates them from PWCC/REA/Heritage, right? Please. I swear, the April auction was the 5th time they've tried to auction off that 1970 Topps Alcindor PSA 10 pop 1.

[istheskyblew]

some truly incredible pieces in this auction.

[Dame]

Why was the Kobe Nebula relisted? Pardon my ignorance here, I thought auctions operates differently than EBAY.

[mossoholic]

Has to be the biggest overall auction of all time. I lost count of how many cards would be in the top 5 or 10 cards in most auctions.

[Orangejello727]

Get them before they end up in collections....

1. "Never to be seen again"
2. "Once in a. life time opportunity"
3. "So rare that, you'll never have another chance at obtaining one"

[gameissued]

Wow, a lot of these are true headliners and super rare, but also a lot of "meh, seriously?" lots mixed in.. like all of those three stooges that close out the auction. Is there even a market for that? Just seems like it clutters up everything and should be run in a different auction entirely in one big lot.

[pejc300]

I am very curious to see how the jersey #8/150 Kobe Row 0 RC Legacy does since I own the #8/150 Row 2 (although this one is a BGS 10 and mine is a PSA 8 so big difference there). If I was the seller, I would be pissed at the description. It does not highlight the true rarity of the card.

Kobe only has 2 serial #'d rookie cards - EX Credentials /499 and these legacy /150. He has no 1/1 rookies. I would want this info front and center.

My understanding is if you don’t pay you get kicked off the platform. Still possible that someone might bid beyond their means or shill an item.


Curious to see where that one goes on the relist. It already went for cheap last time.

[siebertb]

My first experience using them for this auction. Very anxious/excited to see what type of attention this auction draws. I like the fact that there are some huge basketball cards in here to draw the eyes of some big spenders

Regarding the relisting - i have no idea, but there's also the chance someone is doing a short term flip especially in Kobe HOF Month and it's not a relist

I think this is what it is. Bought early to flip it during HOF time for kobe

Gotcha.

Yeah, some people were projecting it to be at least a $200k card. Still massive gains, I think the owner got that from a Jaspy's break.

[15ncounting]

With the 20% buyers premium, I doubt it was for a flip. Something of that value is held for a couple years before flipped.

I wont be surprised if they gave the owner of the card a "reserve" bid. Meaning, let him place a bid and if it sells for less the card doesn't sell.. The card wasn't doing well going into the last day, owner probably panicked, the rest is history.. I'm sure you don't want to hear it, but Yes, it happens. I've seen it personally and recently, not against the rules but really bad practice, even on this platform level.

[Onepocketj]

Heritage states right on their site that they may bid on the cards. It's a built in "reserve". It's not unusual at all.

If there is a reserve, don't they need to state it on the item listing?

Its sad to know thats how its done. Then claim the market paid what it thought was fair. How do people claim Fair market value if the outcome is determined on not selling it by bidding on your auction. You would hope it tarnishes the cards history. But we know in this marketplace it has no impact as buyers seem to not care. Just like they stopped caring about trimmed and altered cards.

It’s not a relist
Owner bought it to sell in the Kobe Bryant hall of fame auction
That card will now be at the HOF ceremony inducting Kobe and every HOF and attendee will get a catalog with it and the other Kobe items in it
Original buyer bought and paid for it.
I’m here, I read and reply to DMs
Try that. Before posting something like this please.
