Nice to see Clayton Kershaw getting some hobby love at 25:35. He has been my main PC since I restarted collecting in 2014 (first started in the mid to late 80's). The centerpiece of my collection is the 2006 Bowman Chrome base in an SGC 8.5 w/ a 10 auto. But that red refractor is something else entirely. Talk about high-end . . . .

What do you think will happen to junk wax era Jordan's as PSA works on there backlog? I ask because I have about 100 Jordan's from 1989 to 1992. Given the high premium people are paying for PSA Jordan compared to raw I determined it's worth getting anything graded that has a shot at a 9 because even 8s are selling slightly higher than the raw value plus grading fee. I just worry that junk wax era non-gem mint jordans will have the bottom fall out.

[@collectorinvestordealer]

Im not sure.... there has to be a LOT of them coming back from PSA soon, as PSA had a few specials for just Jordan cards. I would guess they'll go up in the short term, and at some point come back down.

Wow. Massive number of sales. Goldin has really taken off.

[@JunkWaxInvestor]

I hate how Goldin Auctions is over stating their sales. When you look at the actual past auction results, the record '52 Mantle actually sold for $1.566MM and the Jordan PSA 10s actually sold for $720k, not $738k. I had people call me out when I did a short video on the record Jordan sales because I was saying they went for $720k and everyone else was saying $738k and then Goldin actually advertised the record at $738k but now when you look at the completed auction results, it says $720k. The difference is in the two buyers premiums. When I was watching this auction end and the final price was $600k + premium, I looked at the auction rules and saw 20% buyers premium or 23% if paying by credit card or not paying within 10 days and figured conservatively, this is most likely not a credit card purchase. This market is hot enough on it's own! We don't need to inflate these record sales even more by an extra 3%! End rant. Great video as always!

[@CorePositionTrading]

Awesome breakdown AS Always! .. > PSA deal done, stock stopped trading, new group is running it now > paying close to a Billion bucks ... my prediction is this > on this date note the PSA card # > going forward I feel cards will be rushed back to investors/collectors, churning out much more volume but keeping the higher prices ... they know other companies are hitting the space ... look for much MUCH easier grades for cards such as GEM MINT 10's ... knowing a PSA grade is still the industry standard ... added comp, pumping out more volume IF your asking me will cause softer 10's then ever ... and return times will decrease as I think the grading process will probably be streamlined for more and more volume and quicker turn around

[@collectorinvestordealer]

Interesting take! They definitely need to do something about the turnaround times, otherwise competition is going to start carving into market share.

[@willzsportscards]

Thanks again Chris! When cards like that first Jordan are shattering records, and it's *clearly* not a 10...that tells you who's bidding. Wealthy speculators who aren't even into cards....and they'll be the first ones selling once the correction comes. As an aside, I feel like PSA has changed just like the hobby...they've become more picky about centering....those old holder cards may be overgraded (in general) when you are dealing with the current market. That 86 set, while beautiful, is showing a lot of cards that are also slightly off centered to my eye, and again, in old holders. I can tell you in the late 80s no one cared about mild off centering. Times change.

[@collectorinvestordealer]

I totally agree. That has to be a wealthy speculator buying that Jordan, not a true card person. And also totally agree that PSA has gotten pickier. Most vintage stuff you see as 10s are from old holders.

Alot of these prices are highly manipulated. I knew some guys who stocked up cards they could acquire cheaply, saw a number ed card out of 1000 they bought from $20-60. They would buy all thst could be found. Then they start listjng with auction companies, they jave a friend buy it back for a huge bump say $600. Then they do the same on ebay. They get 10 to 20 transactions in sales history at $800 a card. A few outsiders benefit and sell theirs and now the cards keep shooting up and they start dumping their stockpiles all around at a man made inflationary price. I dont get the insane prices on the intentional 1 of 1s. Who cares that some card was made to be rare. It only meant sonetging when it was unintentional. Now everyone has 1 of 1s, is that really special and does that truly constitute a high price because they intentionally made 1? Id never pay $500k because im the only person that has it. Now a gane used bat that hit the game winning run or something like that sure. But cards that were designed to be rare just dint do ut for me and most of them are ugly as sin.

I'm convinced when people start bidding on cards they lose their minds, lol - at the end of the auction it's no longer about the card(s) but rather winning the auction - it's kinda crazy.... Then the buyer realizes they overbid once they paid, lol.... Look, some collectors need more self-restraint er discipline - I've seen collectors go wild on cards via auction on prices that were significantly more than if they were priced conservatively.... I mean I just price my cards for what what I think they're objectively valued at - look, starting an auction off at .01 or .99 cents usually doesn't work out but when it does it can be extremely rewarding... The card gets like 60 "watchers" and in the last 10 minutes it goes from $2 bucks to $200, lol.... I guess my point is that some people are just overtly determined to win an auction and they end up overpaying and unfortunately when it happens on ebay these collectors realize this after the fact and then they don't pay, smh..... Look, we all have overpaid for cards but you gotta pay - and obviously most collectors do - of course on the flipside of the coin you have these collectors trying to sell their cards and when they don't get what they want they cancel the sale - that's actually happened to me twice in the last couple of months - and I was so pumped I won those auctions, I kept a birds eye on them but nope!! haha....
