EBay Seller of the Month

[the game rugby league]

Thanks for that Moz.

I actually thought that they may go fo a lot more as it is very rare to see any for sale on ebay so i was a bit surpised at the final prices and yeah i know what you are saying in regards to Adonis as i have bought from him also over the years and he normally has real Mint cards on offer so i do agree that he may have graded these a bit high, though as i said i thought the prices were probably unders as i think the market has softened at the moment!

I would have liked to buy them for that as I have no 63. I think it would be cheaper to but a full set if I could find one in near mint condition. I dont like my chances. Adonis has advertised a full mint set which was debatable with some. Never the less that is the only full set that I have seen in that sort of condition on ebay. He wanted $18000 for the 18 of them. Which may have been sold around $800 a card if they were close to mint.

Yeah but if you send them to a grader they would not be classed 10/10. Im not bagging your cards, im sure they are great specimens, my point more was if i saw cards with perfect corners, perfect white centred borders and the cardboard was a little fresh looking my first instinct would be to call them restored. Pretty easy to trim those cards up unfortunately. Have seen a couple examples of it.

Trim as in cut them up

If I was a grader there would be nothing classed as 10/10 as there is always someones finger print on them no matter how old they are

No cut a sliver off the edges to make them look perfect and square them up.

I understand what you are saying that is why I will never say mint. It is always near mint

I did not say anything about your cards being mint??

That is what I thought you meant some checklist are floating around like that as we have seen.

I am pretty sure that Steve could vouch for this

Yeah Moz they are certainly Near Mint as my Grade of Mint is "Faultless" straight out of the packet!
At 1st sight i could see that they were not Mint and you stated that which was correct!

Ive seen mint 63 & 64 scanlens owen would be a dream to have mate he is selling them to if you r interested around $35,000 for 51 cards thats $686 each card not bad price for mint cards!

Sounds like a bargain but it is really $686.27 a card......which blows it out of my budget.

 

[1967Sharks]

Send them all to PSA, get them all graded 10 and i will find 35k.
Mint gets thrown around far too loosely.
1963/64 Mint? Doubt it.

Sounds like a lot of dreamers want to pay very low dollars for something that is very hard to find mint these days !!
Have a look what Adonis is getting on his average cards with biro signatures on them 3/4 of the price of my friends mint sets !
Keep dreaming fellow ozcarders

 

[hobo]

What about this seller charging an addittional $9.90 security fee?

No i think the point more was that Mint 10/10 does not exist with these cards.

The cardboard used was too poor.

what the fark is a security fee, bet if you report to eBay, they will close the auction down...

It's only for US buyers. Is it insurance on overseas postage?
