Man when the next Brooklyn (/25), Red X (/5), or Glow (/?) shows up, the sky's the limit.  i remember thinking $100 for a red x mini was too much.  Now look.

I'm trying to promote the card where i can. i even changed my avatar on telegram to be the back of a no number card.  The prices have been bid up with only a few bidders (Just 4 for the 83 NNO).  Once word gets out and there are dozens, it goes to the moon!

Agreed on several points.

I, too, remember seeing a red mini and passing because the $100 mark was too high, in my opinion. Now I daydream of those days.

Additionally, I remember reading on the baseball card forum how someone over there was speculating only a few weeks ago (November) that these cards will continue to climb ridiculously high (even more than now), because there are WAY more crypto-collectors than there are Brooklyn/red/silver/black mini cards. Plus, the number of crypto-collectors is growing daily, while the number of cards is not. They will only continue to grow.

At least, that's what the baseball card guys think, and I tend to agree.

Chris

I think that $1200 is a conservative number for that card too, it's Christmas time and everyone is spending their money elsewhere, if it weren't around the Holidays, we would have seen much bigger numbers for that card. DEFINITELY a card for the serious collector.  Smiley

MTG cards that are rare have been exploding for a while which is what has happened with the #83 cards we all love.  One large reason is a lot of wealthy poker players from around the world started out playing MTG be fore poker.  Now said poker players have money to find and buy cards they coveted back in the day.  That has happened to this market.  The early crypto adopters have the funds to run up cards as well.  Bottom line... it looks like upward and onward from here for #83.

That's an interesting perspective. (And good news for us #83 collector-investors.) Thanks for sharing, anonymousminer.

You can see the dip in price of MTG cards after "Black Friday" April 15,2011.  That was the day the Federal Government banned online poker in the US and started freezing 10s of millions of customer money along with 10s of millions in company assets.  The lull on the cards lasts for 12-18 months..... then they really start to take off.  See for yourself.  Then we cross our fingers for similar good fortunes on our little #83.

If I didn't own a few from way back, I would be to concerned about the fakes that are out there to ever buy one now. Shocked

That auction says that the population of that card is 1 of 1, that's definitely not true.  Sad

It takes a few days after the official grade is given for the population report to update. That may be part of the problem.

I never expected the black lotus to take off the way it did.  You just never know but, you can clearly see if you want to play in the higher end cards it takes a bit of cash.  This is where I believe the crypto card is headed for the very rare ones.

There are very few great deals on PSA 10 rare cards.
