The 1998 Topps Tek Thread

[Brewer Andy]

You're welcome to whomever just won that Burnitz diffractor while I was trying to log in! Should have just used a snipe

 

[brian26]

Yep, I got it. Pretty unusual that a seller knows exactly what they have and still completely whiff at the market value. I'm trading it to rinkrat for a different Maddux Diffractor.

Was that a BIN at $3.95? WOW

Don't give away or throw away your A-Rod cards just yet. There are currently over 14,500 eBay listings for Pete Rose cards. I know, a saint compared to A-Rod, but 10 or 20 years from now I have a feeling A-Rod's name won't be forgotten.

Not going to give or throw them away, but doubt they will ever be worth much.Yankees fans don't even like him, and he helped win a World Series for them.Are Rose cards even selling for much?

Andy,

That was me. I made a token bid 10 hours after the card was listed, and won it for $2.27 five days later. One other guy made a token bid as well. It is a new one for me. I have extras of Burnitz diffractor pp. 32 and 51 if either helps you. Will trade for any other diffractors.

Pete Rose rookie cards bring a decent amount. Search "Pete Rose Topps 1963 537". That's a rookie card, fifty years old. (There are also reprints of this card floating around.) I saw two ungraded VG cards go for $358.00 and $395.00, a PSA 6 for $670.00, and many, many others. That's just this month. I don't collect Pete Rose cards, but I remember checking that out a couple of years ago. A-Rod rookie cards will be in demand for a pretty penny later this century.

Got my 5 Bonds patterns from the 6 box break from All In Cards and Ryan. Needed 3 of the 5 putting me at 33/90 complete.

Rose rookies are only selling because they are vintage, while Rodriguez cards will always be far more plentiful.Unless masses of collectors are dumping Rodriguez rookies in the trash, I don't see them ever approaching Rose prices.If they ever do we both will be long gone by then.

I lost track of this thread sometime ago.Did that guy ever get the $1200 or whatever he wanted for his Bonds set on here?Alomar set?

 

[RustyGreerFan]
