HOLY WOWZAS

 

[vwnut13]

A $9,990 premium because it has a gold signature. Yikes.

 

[bobthewondercat77]

That seems like a watershed sale. Makes sense that Jeter stuff would approach Jordan numbers...

are we sure the sale is legit and completed?

 

[dbacksfan4life]

Wow! My dad had that same card but his whole collection got stolen a couple of years ago That would be a nice little chunk of $$$$ to have in your pocket

Tough card, plus his uniform number

It was serial'd his #? Makes sense. I've always noticed how you Yankee collectors will pay anything.. J/k

 

[CARDMAN]

I HAVE A FEW YANKEES IN MY COLLECTION , BUT I WOULD NEVER PAY THAT

 

[Pinbreaker]

Since those anniversary refractors are tough to get let alone one to /5 and since it's numbered 2/5.. Serious Jeter collectors will go for it..

Anyone know the odds?

 

[RStadlerASU22]

Anyone know the odds?

1:1279 for one, so 1 in 53+ boxes x's 220 players = 1 in 11,724 boxes (1:281380 packs) to pull one player w/ perfect collation.

X's 5 of each player, about 58620 Hobby boxes made.

Don't know if this version /5 was included in retail or not though

I don't have a retail wrapper, but I'd bet the farm that all parallels were included in retail. I don't believe BC changed odds between retail vs. hobby until sometime in the 2000's. Those are also ridiculously tough pulls as you point out with your calculations, which I think are even far longer than that when you factor in retail product. I opened nearly 100 boxes of 1998 Bowman Chrome II and I only pulled one of Justin Bauman (or at least I think that was his name). All that said, $10K seems pretty excessive, BUT if I'm giving an honest opinion, this makes far more sense than $10K for some Byron Buxton Red Auto Refractor for a long term investment, or whatever ridiculous quantity of cash people are willing to dish out for unproven players.

1998 isn't that far gone from memories. However, as it gets further and further back in time (apply this to all low #'d inserts from 90/00's), I would imagine the value of the harder to come by cards from this era are going to continue to climb in value. Maybe we are starting to see a hint towards this now?

I think the board members who frequent the Super Sweet 90's thread can attest to this. The prices being paid for the really rare 90's inserts has skyrocketed in recent years, at least for the really good players. 5-10 years ago I would never have imagined paying what I have recently for some of the rare 90's cards I've picked up.

The baseball player collectors are hoping that it is only Jeter that is finally competing with the basketball card market of the late 90's. Those prices get crazy quick. If baseball catches up even slightly, it should make for a lot of fun listings to watch. I'm ready for a Jeter or Griffey Red Crusade (without refractor lines) to get listed. All the talk on how much they might go for just makes me want to see one finally listed. By the way, check this basketball 1/1 still active (134 watchers)

Checked for feedback and nothing was left for this card . The 1996 Diamond Destiny Gold was paid for ( 141052316861 - $4838.78 !!!! ) . I do personally know the 2nd bidder for the golden anniversary card and he was willing to pay almost 10G for it .

It's crazy that it was sitting at $1000 til the last day of the auction. Quite a furious $8k last day jump

So outside of a gem sp rc, is this the most extensive Jeter card ever?

What would happen if the 1997 showcase one of one shows up now?

Anyway, this sale could pull up the values even more on other super rare (numbered or not) Jeter cards.

I love how super rare inserts get an even more premium if graded.

Makes me want to grade all my Belle 1/1s and rare '90s inserts for the hell of it and to help with resale value if hell freezes over

Honestly though... $10k?!?! I'm still in shock. That's so much money.
