not right now it won't. it's definately a buyers market on ebay right now as pretty much everything i've seen sell the past couple months is way below "market value".
There's three market values, though. Past, current and future. If he puts the card on the bay today, he will get current market value for the card.mburgin said:kentuckyderby said:putting it on ebay will give you true market value

If I was trying to trade with someone, and the phrase "future market value" entered the discussion, that trade would be over pretty quickly. If future market value was an actual thing, every Bowman Draft card ever released would be a steal at full book.

eBay only provides you with what people on eBay who are actively searching for Card X are willing to pay for the card. It's not even close to what you'd consider a fair market value for cards older than 5-6 months.
I think the Future Market Value thing is somewhat comical. Cards and Stocks alike, you pay for what's *probably going to happen*; thus, future market value is already figured into current market value.
If you could see into the future and say, google's going to wildly overachieve even the grandest projections -- Well, you'd be a kazillionaire.
But I have to agree with whoever said that eBay does a shat-job of properly evaluating the price of anything. It's too temperamental to be a decent indicator.
