In my inexperienced opinion, I think its less about whatever the offer price is and more so that once you sell your card, you’re not going to get it back without paying more than you sold it for. Look at how the prices of the 10 and 9 have risen, many people who sold their copies back in the beginning of the year have missed out on thousands or ten’s of thousands of dollars by not holding. There is every incentive for the holders of these cards to keep holding. Every sale at a new record price is further incentive to hold onto your copy, hoping others sell before you do to keep the price climbing
I think your opinion is excellent and spot-on. this is the alpha black lotus of pokemon. Having sold my alpha black lotus too early, I am always scheming and fantasizing about different scenarios where I might buy it back. For more than 10x what I originally paid, too.
Agree 100%. I don’t have a 10, I have an 8, but I can guarantee you if I did sell it there’s no way I could convince myself or my wife about dropping that amount of money on a single card (it’s one thing to buy and have it appreciate, another to actually buy at that price).
If I sell, I’m not getting another one. For 10 owners, there’s such a low pop it’s probably how I feel x1000. Off the top of my head I could probably make a list of who owns at least half of the 10s and my guess is most of those aren’t for sale at any (reasonable) price.
Thanks all, $30K was my hunch. I try to keep a spreadsheet updated on my collection (copies, conditions, prices, etc), but a lot of items are getting difficult to track with few public sales and overall market volatility.
Tbh, there is no approximate price. For the past month it feels like every sale is a record & every time a new record is reached everyone ups their price. With so many people coming into the hobby trying to secure one & so little available it’s hard to value rn. I notice some sellers are trying to get $40k, I don’t think it will be long until they get that price.
35k+ bid / 42k ask (x2 available) last i have tabulated not including the secret “buying, paying top $” posts. Seems that box price and PSA 10 sync well just skewing a bit since the box at 198 was pretty substantial as to last traded. Zard may take 200k to get it done. Someone gonna FOMO it there.
