Holy crap! THE ONE card is here! Holy Crap!

[chadjaja]

This must have just been graded and strange such a nice raw one hadn't been graded already. This never happens anymore and I wouldn't expect it to.

Both set collectors and high end vintage guys will go after this. I had a snipe set but have bowed out already and its been up less than a day! Up to $2,100 US already! =P~

PSA10!

What a dream card! A 10 for a tall boy is pretty unheard of and even the pop report for a 9 is damn low. Less than 10 I think for this card.

Oh man i keep going back to look at it

Come on Chad..surely you're not done yet, the fun has just started!!!

 

[chadjaja]

Nah I'm out well and truly. If there is a fight over it you might see it push $10,000 US but only if the BIG guys come out to play and have seen it.

I rekon it will fetch $5,000 though at least or it should.

 

[WoobieZarz]

WOAH!!

That's MINT!

So you think $5K? WOW....

Cancel the holiday, and bid bid bid!!!! LMAO.

 

[Matt26]

Wow....thats an amazing card!

Go on Chad, set up a snipe for $10k.....I know you want to!!

Cheers
Matt

Maybe we should start a fundraiser for Chad to get this card :-s

 

[JayC]

damn 4700 and 6 days left... i think it will easy get 10k, and yes it is an amazing card

 

[graham]

I pledge $250

 

[WoobieZarz]

Since Chad's not going for it, should we push it on the high bidder....??
LMAO.

That.....was a joke by the way.

I'll pledge a pre-paid bubble mailer (from G-Will).

 

[chadjaja]

Ahh the oracle is onto it now! Will hit $10,000 easy once word filters out that it is around.

How much does a kidney fetch on the open market these days???

 

[chadjaja]

DAMN $6,000 US and climbing all in the one day. It will crack the $10,000 US mark easy now. Wonder what it will go for??

Its now $4,000 US above me snipe LMAO

 

[Benny J]

LMAO Chad....what do you think it is worth???

 

[gemz23]

it will probably sell 14k to 16k considering this is a very very rare graded card.

 

[chadjaja]

Well I thought about $10,000 US or above but like I said earlier it depends on whether the big players get in. My mate Mike emailed me about it and he will go pretty high and if he says that then he means $20,000 US or so. He did pay $40,000 US for West RC psa 10 ;-)

Its the first 10 to ever be and probably the only one too I rekon. For a raw card to get graded now from this set and get a 10 is astonishing. The tall boys are really hard and still have centering issues too. 99% of the top raw ones would have already been graded one would think.

Will be an interesting couple of days to say the least and Havlicek just might be the highest selling card this week on eBay for basketball at least.

Chad, you could always save the pic on your hard drive, then set it as your wallpaper. You will be able to stare at it all day long.

 

[chadjaja]

It already is Clarkey and on my phone too :-P

This is like a Von Gogh to an art lover ;-)

[Billyhoyle]

[bargey]

What a waste of money

What a waste of money

To some but not to others

The whole hobby is pretty subjective. If I had the cash I would be getting this for sure. No doubt in my mind.

Apart from his topps test issue this is his best card. A much better investment than a Lebron exquisite RC /99 for a similar amount.
