Oh Super Sweet 90's Inserts.... #3

[heavy_hitter]

My latest pickup. I'm halfway to to the set:

 

[RustyGreerFan]

Wow, those BIN Diffractors that went up on the bay sure went fast. Only Biggio left. I was tempted on Larkin, but only picked up the Buhner.

That card is sick. Let me know when you get bored with it :mrgreen:

The Biggio is an auction now... weird. It was a BIN for 6.99 last night. I wonder if all his other went like hotcakes and he realized he may have erred, so switched Biggio to an auction? :lol:

Great stuff guys. Can't wait to post this week's mail!

 

[DeliciousBacon]

Wanted to show these new show pickups off...

PC stuff:

Non-PC stuff:

Pretty much all 10¢ each.

Maybe PART OF IT is history is just repeating itself. Just like the boom in the 80's of baby boomers reliving their youth, now a portion of the people that were introduced to collecting in the 90's peak are coming back because their financial situation allows them to be nostalgic. Improved finances and nostalgia are two of the reasons I've returned, for example.

this is precisely what I accredit to, same thing happened in collecting hardcore records my other shared interest with cardboard picture cards. once everyone who was a poor broke kid who wished they had all the sought after records got out of school, got real jobs and actually had disposable income to throw at stuff, they can afford to drop bigger money on the stuff they want... and on the rarer items they always wanted or want now and don't have to be as choosy about spending the cash.

its happened in almost every hobby I've been a part of when you get a large chunk of people with money who cling to nostalgia

What's interesting is that we're in tough economic times. What happens when the economy bounces back?

I know it's not baseball, but my buddy picked this up at a show for $5...

I told he needed to let me sell it for him. He said that he would be happy to get $100 for it. I told him not to be surprised if it got $200.

I told him I was going to put it up with a $300 BIN/BO and if it didn't sell, list it at auction.

Listed it last night and on a whim decided to change the BIN price. He's glad I did!

Um, that's a decent ROI. Very nice!

OMG! I was actually watching that!! The regular version sold in the same minute for $37!! I whole bunch of Jordan cards sold for ridiculous money last night and I was just watching them go... I would say you are the victim of great timing!!!!

Jordan stuff is absolutely nuts right now. He has so many $1,000 cards and up. He IS the 90's Super Sweet. I don't see how many people could afford to collect Jordan. Congrats on the good sale. Wonder what it would have sold for just as an auction. Either way, that's awesome!

 

[tonsofcommons]

Yeah, I don't know. I'm mad that I didn't get it before him (I was at the same show), but the fact I just made an easy $100+ is alright by me!

I wish Flair Legacy's in baseball sold this well

Perhaps a better question is what happens when it doesnt?

Did you notice that the person missed it by one serial number? 22/150.

And thats why I cant really pursue the big money cards. But luckily, theres still a fair amount of dollar cards i need...

 

[nosterbor]

Looks like my $100 snipe is not close.

A lot of it is manipulated by a few sellers. If you have the time, it's an interesting read from the Basketball Forum.....
