McJesus Insanity - Shill Bidding?

[NJDEVILS30]

Hi everyone,

I was watching this card recently and was stunned as to the final price:

McDavid Seismic Gold RC

I have a BGS 9 that I paid $225 for last year - has this card seen a substantial increase in value, or is this a one-off sale?

Would love your input/opinions!

Cheers!

:bliss:

Bidding looks ok to me and the seller seems reputable. Looks like it made it to $600 pretty easily and then a couple of folks chased it after that. Maybe see if you can flip yours and double your money?

That's insane considering those are all parallels of insert cards. The true rookies for that year are the autos

And it's since been relisted by the same seller for $20 more?

There were a couple of bidders that might make it look shill-esque, but overall I think it is probably legit.

Good point...!

I'll watch this one closely:

McDavid #2

If it approaches what the other one sold for, I'll believe that the card has basically seen a 200% price jump over the past year.

I am in complete agreement with Frank - I am not sure why someone is buying a seismic gold /50 for close to what an autographed RC would run you.

I will say that the card in question might be the most visually appealing McDavid that I have seen yet - that coupled with the fact that these variations are all starting to dry up might somewhat explain the anomaly.

Same seller has it back up for BIN or BO......I sold a PSA 10 awhile back for around $300-350 I think. I don't believe this card would ever reach prices like the OP auction.

EDIT: I see a BGS 9.5 is @ $510 with a few hours to go until the end of the auction.

BGS 9.5 just sold for $1026......... I am defintely surprised by that price, I should have waited to move my PSA 10 copy :duh:

Guess that's one card I won't be getting for my set for a long, long time :laugh:

Something is fishy with the three recent auctions for this card.

One copy is won and then relisted for slightly more.

A high grade copy sells for more than a Black Ice Auto /50 sold for, and nearly $700 more than an Orange Retro RC variation /49 sold for ($306).

What to make of this?

Should anyone sitting on a copy be throwing them up there and expecting a similar bounty?

Im curious myself, I had a copy of the Purple Rainbow non auto /25 I sold for around $300-350 awhile back. I would love to see what that one would go for :brow:
