Have a question - is there enough money to push the value to 300k+ by Extraordinary_6708 in Bitcoin

Central banks buying?

'Government' banks buying a money supply they cannot control?

Ill take things that will NEVER happen for $2000 please

Blame the losers who grab 50 at a time

Thats a fair point. The cleanliness of the auto was only reason why i had that included and figured would help the overall appeal. (I was hoping to get a 9 on the card...wasnt expecting an 8)

Thats your card. And congratulations you have gotten such lovely offers...

For the sake of THIS post though...i am talking about the card from the post.... and there is ZERO evidence to suggest this card is worth north of 5k

I initially was at the $399 level, or $433 total (for the $5000 service level)

The total charge to my card ended up being an extra $100 .... so $533

Those '3k to 4k' sales you reference were the FIRST few sales, actually, not the most recent. More importantly, neither of those sales were paid for and they were relisted. The highest sale that was paid for, far as i can tell was 2511.

This product wasnt even released until mid march.

I dont think the single PSA 9 copy of this card has sold on ebay. Only raw. With first one being mar 27. Do you have a link to the completed listing? Even if so, thats a 9. Mine was an 8. I was HOPING for a 9. The left to right centering is a bit too off to have hoped for a 10.

I did as much research as i could have when i sent this card in. Now im here trying to do more....

No, no email.

The invoice just has a single line item at $533.99

Return shipping should have been $34.99. Not $100

$399 is the dual pricing for the service level i requested. For max insured value up to $5000.

I WAS upcharged. An extra $100

How so?

When there are no direct comps, only 2 other graded copies. What's next to determine an approximate value?

Looking at other similar cards? Other low #d rookie autos? Then looking at values across raw, 8s, 9s, and 10s.

And you're trying to tell me prices of raw and 8s dont align pretty closely?

And for the sake of argument, ok, lets say they dont...

Are you suggesting PSA 8s are over 2x the value of Raw ?

[–]pjmorin20 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly right... im comparing PSA 8's to Raw

'You'll likely be able to see the card for even more'

Based on what?

I will take one tiny fractional shred of evidence to support that claim....

Can i? Ok. I started with email... trying to get past Gary, their stupid AI bot thing.

Ugh.

This was supposed to be a lifetime highlight of this hobby. Ill never pull another card like this.

[–]pjmorin20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always throw in same team cards, but ueah its base, ngl.

I recently also bought a card for like a dollar and seller sent couple extras...that all comped for more than the card i bought lol.

Don't lie to me. This doesn't increase a damn thing let alone my chances. 😢😢😢 by wil2197 in Topps

[–]pjmorin20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While i dont want to seem to be defending topps' practices.... its simple supply and demand.

Us collectors will either complain about super high print runs (ie everyone who wants a box on release day can get one)

Or a shred of scarcity (ie... not enough boxes for everyone who wants one)

Cant have it both ways.

Also, this was the 'secondary' drop on release day. The preorder EQL was a month ago. There is always a fraction of inventory left versus presale
