What Would the Longo Super Auto From 2006 BDP Fetch Today?

[Musial Collector]

Would it be better to sell this as an auction or fixed price?

IMO, high BIN BO for 7 days, but not insanely to high as to scare off potential buyers. Say BIN BO $19,999.99, see what kind of offers you get. If you get something in the $9-12K range, accept, accept, accept!!!
If you dont get any offers you like after those initial 7 days, put it up as a 7 day auction and watch the snipes fire at the end of the auction.

If Lebron James had a 1/1 rookie card of the magnitude that Bowman collectors chase Chrome, it would probably be a $20k card. We're talking about the hottest young star to come along in a while in baseball and he's red hot. A penny less than $12k and i'd keep it.

While Longoria is a great talent, he isn't 1/100th of the star that Lebron is. Heck I'd say that no one in Baseball is even at the best a 1/10th of the star as Lebron. Teams are popular in Baseball, not players, and it's not a global sport like Basketball. It's honestly not a viable comparison. If Lebron had a 1/1 RC that was super high quality I'd wager that could probably hit 50 to 100K.

1/100th is a stretch. I wouldn't say he's at Lebron's level, but the comparison was for a great young star of the game. Longoria has potential to do in baseball what few before him have done, much like Lebron, and that makes his only 1/1 rookie card infinitely valuable. Those saying 7-8k have no idea how high that sucker would go. It would break 10k with 3 days left.

 

[brouthercard]

Can anyone confirm that this has been pulled?

 

[cowboysrule48]

Longoria makes it soooo tempting to bust some 06 draft, especially with the Super possibly still out there. Too bad there are all of those SOTF.

 

[G $MONEY$]

I dont think Longo has the Star power of a Sidney Crosby, yet. But.... for comparison, Crosby's best 1/1 RC was up for auction a couple months ago and bidding got up to $18K with 3 days to go and was pulled by the seller.

Show me a Lebron James rookie auto with the print run of the 2001 BC Albert Pujols that sells for $10K in gem mint like Pujols does.

It's a different sport man... Bowman Chrome in baseball is like Exquisite in basketball, and Exquisite has a print run. You can't compare them.

show me your bucket, you have some of the most amazing cards ever on ebay

 

[Russ S.]

probably 7-8K

If sold right now.

Was thinking similar maybe a tad under $10K

$8700 - $9400

 

[JoshHamilton]

Is there any other Super to compare it to - hypothetical or otherwise??

Ryan Braun perhaps.

That was my thought. When Braun won ROY or when he was molten in July/August of 2007, I think that hype compares. Did the Braun sell? if so, there's your answer.

It was on eBay Feb of '08 for $12.5k. I offered $8k and the seller scoffed, saying he had several offers over $10k. It stayed in his eBay store for several months after that. Haven't seen it in a good while. Who knows what happened to it. I still want that damn card

 

[Big Mac McGwire]

The real question is how much unopened wax of 06 chrome is out there????? :shock:

I'm guessing around 80% of the product has been opened.

Show me a Lebron James rookie auto with the print run of the 2001 BC Albert Pujols that sells for $10K in gem mint like Pujols does.

Show me 5 or 6 cards that sell for the same Raw as Lebron's higher end rookies from Pujols. Lebron has a large number of high end to choose from. Pujols has that one card that is head and shoulders above the rest. Outside of sports fans Pujols just isn't known, neither is Longoria. My point was originally someone said a Lebron 1/1 would sell for 20K. I was wagering that would be a six figure card, and someone proved me right with the Lebron/Jordan logo.

My original point was that baseball players just are not as well known as Basketball. I have never once, ever seen even a Pujols jersey for sale in a store in my area. I haven't seen a Pujols T Shirt for sale, I haven't seen really anything of Albert for sale in a store around here. On the other hand, every single sports/shoe store carries Lebron, Kobe, Shaq, and other NBA star jerseys at all times.

In my life only really Griffey, McGwire, Sosa, and Bonds have come close to the heights that NBA Stars do popularity wise. I love baseball, it's my favorite sport, but you just can't compare the stars of baseball to the stars in the NBA in the USA, and it's not even close globally.

It is common knowledge that the NBA is a global sport with a larger market than any other. It doesn't change the fact that a PSA 10 2001 Pujols chrome AU sold for $10,000 on eBay last year. I am not sure how many exist. Let's say only 100 for the sake of this thread. Lebron James is an international phenomenon, but I can't think of any of his rookie cards that are numbered to 100 that sell for $10,000 in a PSA 10 slab. That's a 1-to-1 comparison, not a 100-to-1 or 10-to-1 comparison as can be made in the overall market comparison. Superfractors of baseball players outsell those of basketball players. I bought the Brook Lopez Superfractor via regular auction on eBay for $155.00 this season. $155! Brook Lopez is a 20-year old stud. You find a rookie in baseball at his caliber, and we all know what the autographed superfractors would sell for. It's hard to even buy a garbage baseball player's autographed rookie superfractor in that price range.

I hope nobody would argue that basketball is not a much bigger global sport than baseball. The market difference is not reflected in card values.

From my viewpoint, NBA cards do also not hold their value over time like baseball cards do. It's a popularity contest.

The most marketed players in the NBA sell for the most money.

As with the marketing industry's cliche, "out with the old, in with the new," goes the NBA's marketing program.

Iverson, Jamison, Vince Carter, Dirk, some of the biggest stars in the NBA...and the cards I own of them keep dropping in value despite their sustained performance.

Michael Jordan's cards don't hold the value they did when he was winning championships.

Tim Duncan's cards have dropped tremendously despite his continued excellence.

Players like Devin Harris have SP Authentic autographed rookies /999 that sell for less than $10 bucks (got mine for $6.99 during the season on eBay). Devin Harris averaged 21.3 PPG and 6.9 assists.

Baseball is king when it comes to cards, no pun intended, despite the fact that the NBA reigns king in the global marketplace.

We're talking about cards here, not anything else.

Look at the number of people in the baseball forum versus those in the NBA forum on this site or any other.

Again, the market and global popularity of the sport is not directly related with card collecting.

 

[beefycheddar]

Mike,

Baseball values can be just as low as Basketball. How much does a Roy Halladay RC sell for, or a Brandon Webb. Heck when guys have tons and tons of different options in Basketball for RCs they should be lower priced, I mean how much does a Jeter 1992 Topps sell for? How much does a Lincecum RC fluxuate? You can point to a top of the line card like a Gem Pujols, but my original point was someone said that a 1/1 Longoria would compare to a 1/1 Lebron RC. I said, and still stick to the fact that a super high end 1/1 Lebron compared to a Longoria can't even compare.

 

[nyyankeesfan.13722]

Correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't a BGS 9.5 Exquisite Collection sell for 10,000

 

[Invest4thefuture]

Of Lebron? More than that...

 

[beefycheddar]

There are only 4, so it should at least top that I would wager.

 

[trevordchi]

I don't think Braun is a good comparison. A LOT of people despise Ryan Braun because he is about as arrogant as they come. I don't think Longoria has nearly as many haters. If Longoria puts up Braun type #s he will outsell Braun by far.
