Does this card with a BGS rating of 10 really go for 1,500, I was checking on ebay and it was going for around this much. I just wanted to know if that was true. because it seemed odd

I really don't know, but for being a BGS10, that does seem hard to believe. I know Kobe's a little older and has had more accomplishments, but a BGS9.5 in a Kobe rookie goes for much more than $1,500.

a BGS 10 pretty much goes for whatever some fanatic is willing to pay for it.

It's insane when you see how much a BGS 10 goes for, and see the dramatic fall off with a BGS 9.5

That just seems crazy theres like 12 bids for it, and that card is not that hard to get if you buy yourself 1 box of series 1 finest of that year. Defintaly a very odd thing.

It's because the card is not rare but it is very very very tough to get a card graded a 10 unless its some no name company.

yup, agree with you there.

Show them a 10 (PSA, BGS, BCCG, etc), and those Ebay bidders go into a frenzy

How hard is it to get a BGS 10 for them to pay that much

Not sure...but apparently, it's pretty tough to get a BGS 10; otherwise, the Ebay bidders wouldn't be having a frenzy over it.

Truth, I wish I had a BGS 10 then I be rich

It depends on how hard the card is to get in good condition (like ones with black edges have a better chance of being chipped) but for a normal card I think I saw that it was at least 1 in every 15,000 cards that are graded come out to be a BGS 10.

Damn well I guess my dreams are shot down preety fast

Well you can still get a 10 but you just have to remember that it is very unlikely. But if you ever do come across a 10 they go for insane amounts. I'd never pay that much I'd be happy with a 9 but some people want a perfect card and have the money to do it.

Yeah it just kind of sucks if you get a great great card and it ends up being a 9 cause once its graded it's graded right?

Actually 9's carry a premium also, but not anywhere near what a 10 carries. You can cut out a card once it's graded if you want, you just have to be careful to not damage the card while doing it. I can't believe no one has a PSA or a BGS population report to look up how rare a 10 is on this card.

Haha, a 10 with some no name company. But hey, "it's the next BGS" :)
