I hope there is a demand for his Japanese RC. I have a few. And some inserts too.

I have the refractor version of that card. Will probably list it Sunday night. Would do it sooner, but I will be out of town without computer access Thurs-Sun next week. Would like to watch it close and be able to ship it as soon as possible if the buyer pays right away. I would hate for something to close and get paid for on a Thursday night and not be able to ship it until Monday.

Sold my Orange Ref a week too early ::facepalm::

Damn, there is going to be 10 freaking threads a day about this guy...I can feel it

tommyfro21 · Dec 9, 2011

Had I not lost my job back in March, I would have all my Darvish cards to sell now.

He was one of my best "prospecting" attempts and I felt really good about the money I had invested.

Here is a sample of his nicer cards I had at the time:

Sterling ref GU
(3) Sterling blue ref GU
Sterling black ref GU
(3) Bowman Chrome Blue ref
Bowman Chrome PSA 10

Sucked at the time to let it go and it sucks now knowing I would have a few hundred dollars coming my way.

Sold this a couple of weeks ago when talks were heating up. Was shocked at how low it sold

Certain it would sell for at least twice this much now if not more.

Best time to buy has come and gone, but unless he somehow doesn't sign, i think his card prices are going to shoot straight up and stay there for awhile. If he goes to a big market team, i could see all his prices doubling over night. Wish I had more than just a couple cards to flip myself!

Topnotchsy · Dec 9, 2011

It never ceases to shock me how inefficient the market is. It was pretty much a known thing that he was coming to the US for a long time, and yet his cards were remarkably cheap for the last couple of years. It is just hard to fathom.

Out of sight.... out of mind.

He said during the WBC he wanted to play in Japan long enough to set records... so people forgot about him. During the season it looked like he was interested in playing in the US. And now that he is back in the news... people remember who he is and now see the Yankees in need of pitching. BUY BUY BUY

I had to block a guy who wouldn't stop harassing me about it. Wanted to win it then pay in like a month after sending me multiple messages telling me it was too expensive and I should sell it for under $100.

Superhuskiefan1 · Dec 9, 2011

time to dig mine out

Hwilensky · Dec 9, 2011

Yeah, I figured as much. In full disclosure, I threw mine up there as well. In the 6 or so hours its been up this guy has emailed me twice already.

[ebay:1y0dfj9x]190612952720[/ebay:1y0dfj9x] - This looks a little more reasonable. First one to end since the $181 that wasnt a BIN.

He wasn't one of my regular searches over the last year, but I definitely searched him once or twice a month. For the most part it was hard to find cards because most people seemed to be holding. I was able to piece together a decent little stash, but it was nowhere near what I would have liked to and would have accumulated if there had been a steady flow of his stuff listed.

That said, I sold a BDP Blue Ref for $75 today, very happy with that. I wonder where prices go once we know what team won the rights to negotiate with him.
