Because folks are home so much, they are turning back to card buying. And the auctions are going crazy. Goldin auctions:  A Trout 1 of 1 2006 Bowman Chrome Prospects refractor autographed: Bidding will START at 1 MILLION.

Lebron James rookie signed card.. 1 of 1: Just sold for 1.8 MILLION. See more at Goldin Auctions.com.   These prices are crazy nuts!!

Re: Modern card sales are skyrocketing

I Agee, they are crazy nuts!!! Trout stuff has been selling well for a long time now but things have gone into the stratosphere. His 2009 Bowman Chrome will likely get the opening bid of 1 million being that it is a 1/1 superfractor, even being a BGS 9!!!

 

Went to Walmart yesterday and was very lucky to catch someone stocking the shelves in the card section. All the Bowman products were gone before I left the store and I was only there for 15 minutes. Just look at what Jasson Dominguez Autos have been going for. Starting to cool a little now after being sent down but still astronomical prices.

Re: Modern card sales are skyrocketing

Yeah and if I only knew who JASON DOMINGUEZ was, I might get excited. I have no clue who the 'modern' stars in MLB re these days. I'm still with the old Yankees, Dave Winfield, Reggie Jackson.......the old Dodgers, Garvey, Sax, Cey, Gibson, Oreal, Valenzuella. And the old Lakers, Magic Johnson, Karem......
Just getting too old to get excited by 1 o1 2006 Bowman Chrome Rookie red double refractor, auto graphed with a patch AND chewing gum no less. Hahahaha

Re: Modern card sales are skyrocketing

Just checked on the Trout card and it is up to 1.3 million and the auction runs well into August. Who knows how high it will go. This card sold in 2018 for a mere 400 grand and I'm sure the owner at the time thought he hit the jackpot. Can't imagine how he feels now. 😥

 

I sold all my Trout and Lebron rookie cards except this one. The only reason I still have it because it was only worth $10-$20 at last check. I think you could get up to 2 grand for a PSA 10 now. I sold Lebron rookies in the $200-$300 range that are now selling for 5 Grand!! Who knew!!!!

Card sold for 3.84 Million which is an astonishing figure and now the highest priced sold card of all time. High end  modern cards are selling at record highs while this thread sits buried in the Ebay cellar!

Re: Modern card sales are skyrocketing

Every baseball product is completely sold out at every retail outlet. Target, Walmart, Meijers and any other place has people lining up to buy it all. I have never seen anything like it! Bowman, Topps Chrome, Topps, Chronicles all gone within minutes of being stocked on the shelves. Buyers coming in daily asking what day new product is arriving.

Re: Modern card sales are skyrocketing

Again thats because the sneaker people who wait in line  for shoes are waiting at the retail stores for the venders to stock the shelves and buying them out

Re: Modern card sales are skyrocketing

Here was a group from my local Walmart waiting patiently recently. They did want all the Basketball stuff! Everything was gone in 10 seconds. Funny watching these people haul everything over to the self checkout. I didn't bother to ask if they were the sneaker people. 😊

Do they look like sneaker people or Vegas high rollers?
