Tiger Print Scottie Barnes Courtside Rookie!

[Lionsfan84]

Just pulled from blaster box this weekend! How rare is this card? Anyone have an estimated value? Going to send in to PSAbut having trouble with the declared value hoping some of you could help! Also how rare are the tiger print I am having a hard time with comps!?!?!?

Thanks

They are pretty rare, but I wouldn't worry about putting a value down on the form. Make PSA do the work if they want to upcharge you.

What would you send it in as then? 100$ option 300$ Was reading it has to do with insurance purposes on card too? Sorry never sent a card in for grade actually

[Lionsfan84]

Are tiger print or zebra more rare?

I would send it in via Economy ($50 per card) and declare $999 value. Anything higher and you are just eating into your profit to sell because it seems pretty clear to me you are flipping this.

I have no idea but as a guess there are fewer zebra vs tiger because tiger is retail. When you get the slab back, be a hobby hero and list it for $0.99 7 days. Don’t be the guy listing it for $5,000 obo collecting dust.

Look pretty rare. I’d send it in at the 100$ level (up to 1499 value). His most recent court side zebra did 1425. I think getting it back a month faster will make up for the higher grading cost when go to sell.

If I had to guess the rarity is similar on zebra vs tiger but the zebra sells a little better. I believe the print run for zebras is about 15-20 per but I’m not sure if that skews different for court side. 5k cases, 1 per case, 300 card checklist.

All the research I’ve been doing is saying the tiger is more rare than the zebra, I’ve been trying to compare the lamelo and Anthony edwards cards to it, they are going for pretty big bucks an Anthony edwards psa 10 somebody is asking 13k for on eBay, a Lamelo went for 10+ on goldin, there is a psa 9 going for 6k.

Not exactly the same but I had a Panini VIP Gold Lamelo Ball "RC" Dalmation that I just sent in - estimated print run < 15. I used the $999 / $50 tier, got a 10, and didn't get asked by Panini for more $$s. It arrived on 10/28 and was shipped out 11/15, so not sure how much faster the $100+ tiers would be

PSA is "good" about reaching out and asking for more $$ if they feel like you pushed the boundary too much. Most recently I had this on a soccer card (Jamal Musiala RC Sapphire /50 @ PSA 10, happily) and it was simple to pay the extra $$. I've had waaayyyy more cards that I sent at a lower tier than I estimated in value, and the vast majority go through fine.

Honestly just use the service that has the turn-around time you want and has a declared value you'd be comfortable shipping the card out with in case it gets stolen/lost. PSA is usually good at not up-charging you unless it is super obvious the card is worth more. For something fairly obscure like this that doesn't have a lot of comps, it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't get up-charged at any rate.

Haven’t decided to sell or not tbh, I got a lot of belief in Scottie just turned 21 in august, it’s tough call as much as I could use the cash

Appreciate the reply, have talked to a few card shops saying use the 100-150 option as well, really would love to know a print count on these I’ve heard from some saying they are the most rare that only 1/1 can compete

Great pull. Congrats.

Whatever you do. I can tell you Scottie's prices are starting to slide quite a bit. So temper your expectations accordingly. If you put it at BIN/OBO i can pretty much guarantee it will sit if not priced to move and at auction you're gonna to hope on bidders getting chummed up like sharks.

A raw Zebra sold for $809 yesterday. That's down $600 from the previous and $1400 from the one before.

Yeah he’s had slow start but I have a lot of belief in him just turned 21 his +- is off the charts and affects the game in so many ways I will prolly wait till he turns up again if I sell it

I love Scottie. But this is Siakam’s team for the near future.
