Another slightly mis titled eBay auction and another steal or is it?
The mis label is not in question as all the auction stated was that it was a Topps Puig frame(d) card with no mention of parallel or it being numbered to 20. Beckett has this pegged at $60 and sales out of the gate were as low as $45 and as high as $75. I personally thought that is a decent window considering the player and scarcity of the card. I expected to "pay" at least $45 but more like $55.
Why I wonder if its a steal or not is that the Andre Ethier parallel I am still searching for books for $25 and I have yet to win a single one that has popped up on eBay as they continuously sell for $40+. Yet when I was able to secure this one it only cost me $27. What? I can account some of that to the labeling of the auction but that is very low and considering the hobby popularity difference of Ethier and Puig this card should have costed at least twice as much and I shouldn't have to be still searching for Ethier as that should have come easier.
Well my search continues for that Ethier card as I can't believe I won this for such a low amount. I always intended to submit this to BGS for grading and when it came in there is no reason not too as I don't see a flaw on the card. Hoping for another gem mint limited card of Mr. Puig.

wow - that's a steal at that price! Nice catch!
ReplyDeleteTY. All about timing but his cards have come down. Im more surprised at Ethier's selling prices
DeleteGreat card at a great price! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteTY. These #/20 are a real pain to acquire at reasonable prices if it is a star player.
DeleteI couldn't win any of the star Pirates. Prices were all over the place. Hard to figure out if I was overpaying or not.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great deal on the Puig! Congrats.
Same here. I got Puig at a steal and the 1st Kershaw as well but Ethier to me is not worth more than $20 but none can be had under $40. Thank you
