Did I overpay for this Montero Gold BGS 9.5?

jdacunha · May 20, 2009

They have been selling for about $340-$350 raw, so I thought a 20% increase for a Gold 9.5 wouldn't be a bad buy:

now yes, but based on the potential NO.

Honestly I don't see his ceiling going much higher this year.....could you have won it for 288 dlvd in the middle of november? probably.

If he continues to mash like he has and gets a AA promotion to Trenton, that card could easily go higher. Lets face it, the card is numbered to 50 and you didn't overpay that much on it. It is a beautiful card nonetheless and you will make your money back on this card easily.

I guess it all depends on what you intend to do with the card - keep it or flip it.

But my POV is that if you don't know if you got a deal, you probably made a bad impulse decision. You might get lucky later and make your money back, but you might not, but this is how flipping works anyway.

guess it went down a lot because i saw 3 sells for $400 raw a few weeks ago

if gem sells for only 50 more than raw, it is either a great deal or im not putting too much premium on gems no more

If he replace Posada for the next 10 years than this is good. But if he just an average catcher than U loses money include all the other Montero that U purchase previously. Is a gamble U take with prospect.

Other than C.M **** I haven't see any Yankees prospect in last 10 years that reach that level. **** is exceptional because he got the whole country from Taiwan bidding up his price. Robinson Cano best RC Heritage Auto doesn't even came close to this Montero.

Personally for 500 + I would rather bid on guarantee Albert Pujols RC auto than potential Yankees prospect.
