These rarely come up for sale (not sure about the other key players, but definitely Kemp). There was a thread about this several months ago, that being proper market value for the 2005 Red Xfractors, obviously for me the one to figure out was the Kemp.

Well... the answer is apparently $340 for a BGS 9.5. Hefty premium for the grade for sure, but there are 11 of them in the BGS pop report. Would $200 for a raw copy be out of the question, seeing this?

I think its possible 200$ but that may be a tad high. Man that makes me sick....I sold that seller all my red xfractors and looks like alot of them gemmed.

I've always liked 05 TC. It was on par that year as far as autos and RCs with BC. Underrated set.

Check out this Red Xfractor sale. Oddly, I think he could have gotten a little more.

I really like the set as well. I think $200 raw may be a slight bit too high as I would expect any nice Kemp from that set to be in either a PSA or BGS holder by now and would almost treat a raw copy of that card as if it were an "8" at best.

nborton - I agree on the Verlander sale. Probably left a hundred or more on the table by selling prior to spring training or start of regular season.

And finally, I can't comment on this set without showing off just a little.

Wasn't the Jay Bruce selling for like $1400?

My favorite recent set. Both my guys have cards in it.

The 2 Zimmerman's I've seen sold on ebay were for $80 (BO by me) and around 120 months later at auction.

Someone on here bought a full or partial set a few months back and was piecing it out. Not sure what he got for the Zimmerman that time.

Based on the 2 I saw sold (they were a couple years ago), I'd say $200 isn't out of the realm of possibility for a Kemp. Maybe on the high end, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I was thinking the same range. About a hundred or so. In most years there is a big gap in price between BC and TC autos. In 05 it's almost non-existent for some guys. Verlander base autos are about the same price. In a strange way they were the set that year that had all the big autos. McCutchen, Bruce, Verlander, etc. were all in TC, but BC didn't have Cutch or Bruce.

I miss 05, it was a great year for products. Lots of good stuff was available.

Sweet! I've got the Kemp # 27/65 jersey # but it's only bgs 9. Paid 40 something for it a looong time ago.

I'm hoping Matt Albers KILLS it for Boston so I can unload my 2 Red X's of his.

marterburn · Apr 3, 2012

My copy would be 8.5ish, because 3/4 corners have small issues. Its great, other than that. I'll scan it when i get a chance.

Sent from my SCH-I400 using Sports Cards by Freedom Card Board.com

Yeah, I'm the guy who posted about obtaining an almost full set (minus a few cards) of the TCU Reds a few months back. Since then, I've been tracking them quite frequently. I'm actually pretty surprised at how well this Kemp 9.5 sold. I'd have guessed in the $250 range. This set is absolutely AMAZING looking in person, though, and rarely pop up, so when they do sell via BIN/BO (not so much auction), they sell pretty well.

marterburn · Apr 3, 2012

Here's mine. I actually pulled it, in 2010, from a box of wax off eBay, well after I starting collecting Kemp. Talk about striking gold from a PC standpoint.

UMich92 · Apr 3, 2012

Nice looking card.

Yep, that's true. Part of the reason why I think there was more left. Not last years numbers left, but still more.

It was ColtsFan23. I bought the Zimm and Kemp from him... got them to keep but I may sell after seeing that number.
