OK Same ole song and dance, I need you slabheads to help!

After an IM session with a fellow boardie the other night about cards and prices of cards, I have been updating an inventory list with perceived values of my cards in my collection. The one card I need help in pricing is my slabbed Zimmerman 05 BCDP gold refractor BGS 9.5. I went and looked at the total number of graded copies of the Zimmerman gold refractor auto and there have been 19 copies graded in total with 8 at a BGS 9 level and 8 at BGS 9.5. There were two at 8.5 and 1 at 8 I think.


I know a "book" value on this card in raw condition still states it is 800. What kind of multiplier can I expect to put on it in the slabbed condition? I haven't ever really been into graded cards and this was bought for me at what I consider a steal at 400 as the guy needed cash bad and was dumping his collection.

Any thoughts?

I have to wonder

Who would win the Triple A championship? My favorite college baseball team, or your favorite major league baseball team?

O
Snap. :lol:

In my opinion $400 is an absolute steal but i would say fair market value is probably $500-$600. I could easily be a six figure card though.

Well I am sure that many college teams could beat the yankees, especially if the Yanks are on a big headed power trip and all the guys aren't playing like a team.

I recently saw where a Non graded Zimmy gold sold in October for 374. Interesting take.

I was shocked this past season with how much his cards dropped in price.

Oh and on a side note my Dicks Sporting Goods has Nats replica jerseys on sale for $50 and they have a Zim. I didnt know if you needed one or not.

DAMN! Thats awesome dude. I have always wanted a Zimmy Nats jersey. They don't sell them down in these parts.

well, "book value" means less than nothing as we approch 2009.
I'd say $600 - 750 is about right
