E98 Young....

Wow...great card and looks like nothing higher than this SGC 80. Also has a green background, anyone think this went high or maybe it was on the low end.

I believe Scott Mosley has a higher graded SGC green Young in his ultra high grade set (that is nothing short of spectacular).

Jay is correct - the pic is Irv Young, not Cy, but that hasn't hurt the price evidently. Personally, I have always preferred rarity over condition or a condition rarity, but to each his/her own.

A kid could drink two gallons of milk a week, for every week of his (or her) life, until long after graduating high school; for the price of that card - at current milk costs.

No way is a baseball card worth $10K, imo.

Quan, I haven't looked at Scott Mosley's E98's in while. If his Young is a 50, that has to be the lowest grade E98 in his collection I would think - isn't it? I know after the high grade E93 set sold for well over $300k, I told Scott Mosley I wouldn't take less than $500k for his E98 set, if I were him.

While I have spent over five figures for cards quite a few times, it has never been for a condition rarity. I recently spent around double what this Young cost for my SGC 40 Uzit Cobb, but was elated to obtain it for any price, as I have wanted a Uzit Cobb Bat Off Shoulder for over 12 years now.

Sorry about that Quan - didn't mean to upset you on this Holiday. I am sure there are people who think I am crazy for paying what I did for the Uzit Cobb however. TBH, I would have paid more! I do know the seller was offered $40k for his PSA 4 Red Hindu Cobb (Red Portrait)! That is out of my league however.

Not that I doubt it, but given that bidder id's are now hidden, how is it that we know louchios was the underbidder? Just curious.

Quan, I had forgotten idontbelievewhatijustsaw was him. That is bad, as he has bought a few cards from me on eBay over the past couple of years.

Shows how I keep up with the Heavy Hitters in the Hobby though, as I knew he was tough to beat, but didn't know he was as huge as he is (buying wise - not saying he is obese or anything, as I have never seen him in person ).

This does make me feel bad however. I beat him out on a few cards over the past year or so - guess I overpaid big time!

ok, maybe Im missing something, but how do you know "idontbelievewhatijustsaw (647)" is the underbidder when the ebay id is concealed and all that appears is o**a (649)?
