Another one starting to rock. Description (especially the headline) is mediocre, but nevertheless...

Nice finish for 2 more of these Jordans. One being sold privately after bidders already placed bids of up to 800 USD within the first 24 hours of this listing:
1998-99 FLEER MICHAEL JORDAN PLAYMAKERS THEATRE 16/100 - eBay (item 190294587898 end time Mar-18-09 21:45:07 PDT)

The other ended just hours ago:
MICHAEL JORDAN - eBay (item 170311633767 end time Mar-22-09 10:38:53 PDT)
Considering that this was the 3rd of these cards offered within a 2-week-period and that this seller has a rare headline to his auction ... Still a very good price

Old thread here, but worth rejuvenating.

Did somebody notice this sale last night ?
1997-98 Ultra COURT MASTERS Michael Jordan #1 RARE - eBay (item 220560648359 end time Feb-28-10 19:11:43 PST)

This card was selling in a range of 200 - 300 USD about a month ago. But another one is listed right now and seems to confirm that price:
97 / 98 Fleer Ultra Court Masters Michael Jordan Insert - eBay (item 300401097110 end time Mar-04-10 18:43:21 PST)

And another seller trying to jump on the train, listing a BGS 9.5. Took
6 hours to reach 400 USD. Who knows, where this is going to end:
BGS 10 9.5 ULTRA COURT MASTER MICHAEL JORDAN #23 JERSEY - eBay (item 150418321083 end time Mar-07-10 20:30:02 PST)

Unbelievable prices, as the price of that finished auction means 1000% of high book.

supply and demand.

beckett is so outdated. eBay is more accurate valuation tool now haha.

 

[Verse1]

Thats ridiculous on the Court Masters! I remember seeing them sell for $250 only a month or so ago

I am no expert but if I was to have a guess at the reason for these cards going for more than a MJ Auto I would say it is simply because there are SO MANY MJ Auto's out there. Even with a MJ Auto numbered to /25 there are so many variants it is actually easier to get a MJ auto then one of there rare inserts. Not that it's easy to get a MJ aAto either!

What do you guys think the reason is ???

I'd say that's one of them....... MJ autos are a dime a dozen these days, sweet looking inserts aren't!

things change. old rare inserts are in greater demand these days. they will most likely go down one day, then back up 10x when he dies.

Discussed 1998-99 Fleer Playmakers Theatre /100 was only sold once last year, but appeared again this week:
98-99 Fleer PLAYMAKERS THEATRE Michael Jordan /100 BGS - eBay (item 320669217721 end time Mar-17-11 19:45:29 PDT)

Another record price blowing past the old one from last year of 2045 USD and a double-the-price from when this thread was started. Pretty impressive.

 

[A_Iverson_I]

That is just insane!!!!

 

[Verse1]

Crazy when there was one up with a BIN of around $2500 only a few weeks back and no one hit it

Probably the guy who won the card, can print money at own backyard..

 

[nickelarse]

Unbelievable money... $3250US. I'd rather a Blake Griffin NT RAP /99 any day of the year over that particular MJ.

The interesting phenomenom though may be, that 5 years from now that particular MJ card buys you 5 of Griffins NT RAP /99.
Judging from the past, this outcome is very likely. May not become true, but very likely.
