Ive always wondered why.....
Ive always wondered why any The Cup RPA Gold out of whatever the players number is, is priced for less than the /99 version. Does anybody know why this is? It doesnt make sense to me since the gold is more limited than the /99.
Please let me know why it is this way. Thanks!

Its not a true rookie or set card....parallels or subsets sell for less once the player collectors have their copy.

Yeaits always been mind boggling to me too, regardless to it being a true rookie or not. But obviously this rule doesnt apply to Zetterberg's Premier Rookie /15 (which is my most wanted card of all time) that goes for $1000+ while his /99 goes for $450-500. In most other cases its better for me, a few weeks back i saw Kopitar's CUP RPA /11 go for a measly $625, if it wasnt for the fact that i focused my funds on my Kovalchuk whale, i would have definitly picked it up.

In some cases a low numbered parallel can vastly outsell the "true RC" - but when it comes to a set like The Cup it definitely depends on how short-printed the Gold Rainbow parallel is. For a guy like Tavares, where the RC is /99 and the parallel is /91, not much difference and if you're going to spend the $$$ you'll want to get the real RC. But for a schmuck like Josh Gorges, whose RC is /199 and his Gold Rainbow is /6, big difference.

As said, it's a parallel and not a true rc, but dependent on the print run. I think anything number less than 20 can at times outsell the true RC version.
