Need quick help! Ichiro Ultimate RC AUTO

jbrown · Feb 9, 2011

Anybody have an idea of what this will sell for if listed on ebay? I'm trying to pick it up in a deal and I think we are a little off on price. Thanks for the help

its not his RC, but its a nice card nonetheless!

jbrown · Feb 9, 2011

It books for $1500. I know book means nada. Does it sell as well as the base rc or anywhere near that?

brouthercard · Feb 9, 2011

Around $1500-$2500, if that helps, depending on how it is listed, if any BIG Ichiro collectors still need that card, if there is any shilling of the auction, who is selling it, from where it is being sold, and all the usual factors that can contribute to the varying card prices of a relatively scarce card that doesn't have much market data to follow.

I wouldn't be surprised if it sold for only $1200, nor would I be surprised if it sold for over $2500.

Good luck.

Closest thing I could find was this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/2003-SP-AUTHENT...0481294086?pt=US_Baseball&hash=item1e614a8b06

Although this one has a nice "2001 ROY" inscription. His 01 SPX rookie sells for around $1000 raw.

Hope this helps.

Sold mine with the jersey version for $1100 to a buyer in Taiwan w/ a BGS 9 sig.

If it's a bold 10 sig, then I'd say anywhere from $1300-$1500. This card doesn't pop up very often especially it was a redemption.

Definitely a pristine card list it for $1,500 BIN or best.

I think this link may be the most telling about Ichiro rare auto's. The one linked above is from 2003, so not even rookie year (though I seem to recall that rookies are not as highly held as they are here.)

daveyou · Feb 9, 2011

guys, the 03 sp authentic cannot be compared because it's ichiro's ONLY inscription auto out there (if i recall. 4x inscriptions total? 2001 mpv, 2001 roy and two japanese texts), hence the super duper premium on that crazy end price...

i pm'ed the op. thought i posted here but the ult collection bat auto, i think brouthercard hit it on the spot in terms of sv

Agreed. I think your first quote of a low of 1500 is more realistic, not 1200. But could go like you said to near 2500. They don't pop up at all, even his Ultimate auto /250 is rarely on the bay. I have looked for a while and you could go months w/o seeing one and they are 5X as plentiful. I would pay 1200 for that card.

Wow, that's got to be a record for that card.

Then again, a raw ultimate sold for $2100, so I'm only a little surprised with this sale. Congrats to the seller and hope it goes through.

It's as if I was a novice or something. I just needed one person to say "Yeah take a shot at $1500". This will bother me for a few days!

any idea why the buyer would sell it so soon?

I was going to post this exact same question.

I found it strange that he wanted to flip it right away. His explanation in the auction sounds kind of bogus to me.

What I ended up doing was I measured the card along the right border and the left border, and there was a discrepency of about 1/8-1/16 of an inch from one side to the other. The card looks uneven with the naked eye along the top border. The left border of the card goes higher than the right edge, starting about one-inch away from the left edge.

I suspect this card was either A) poorly cut from the factory, which was the case with many ultimates that year, or B) TRIMMED, and the original seller was lucky enough to dump it, and unfortunately for the new buyer, he had to flip it immediately because it looked trimmed, and now unfortunately, yet another unsuspecting buyer is going to be "stuck" with the card.

The original seller still has this card in hand. It has not been shipped! The guy paid with an echeck like 9 days after the auction ended. I'm not real sure what he trying to do but as of Tuesday of this week payment had not cleared and the card was still sitting at the LCS. Hmmmm......?

edit: Card was shipped yesterday.
