Sold: September 17, 2017
# of Bids: 42
Final Price: $2,375
As of 2022, he’s still kicking around the minor leagues and his hobby attention has dwindled considerably. Here are two sales that closed in May 2022 of the same Red Refractor. Check out those sale value changes!
Sold: May 30, 2022
# of Bids: 13
Final Price: $67.66
Sold: May 30, 2022
# of Bids: 16
Final Price: $127.50
The card on the right is the exact same card that sold in 2017 for over $2k. Since the first sale of this card in 2017, the market value has dropped by more than 94%, which is a huge loss for the original buyer.
Prospecting always comes with some degree of risk. If you’re in it to turn a profit, be willing to lose sometimes but always try to have fun.
