Book Value does me in

So a /50 Dice-k is available on the bay.  I need it for my set.  The BIN OBO is $14.99 so I offered $7.  Let’s be hones, Dice-k is finished.

Here is the exchange:

Dear cjcards_2008,

Is this the serial numbered /50 Greenish olive color?

Dear iamjoecollector,

Hi! No, the serial number is silver.

- cjcards_2008
 
Dear iamjoecollector,

Sorry, I think I misunderstood the question. The serial number itself is written in silver. But the frame around the card, as seen in the picture, is olive-colored. The book value is $30.00, so I’m afraid I can’t take only $7. You’re already getting it for half price at 14.99; that’s a great deal!

Dear cjcards_2008,

Half price of what? Beckett assigns an arbitrary “price” to a card. You and I both know that book value means nothing. Dice-k /50 in other colors go for $4-$5. To my knowledge, these have never sold for anything close to $30 I offered you $7 because I need it for my set. Good luck.

Wantlist 7/9/11

A couple of notes. Thanks to JD for the Dorsey Metallic /50. I really appreciate it. Second, happy birthday to my old friend Daryl. He and I started hanging out in 88. I used to spend the night at his house with his brother and his buddies. All collectors. We all remember those trade-athons. It was a real cool night when his brother Eric and Eric’s friend Dan and Kyle spent the night. Serious trading.

Huge Longoria Pack Pulled Auto

I can’t believe what I just pulled. This is a Longoria auto 7/7 with the Pen he signed it with. This was a special box loader. The auto isn’t as bold as it should be but this is 100% authentic Longoria Autograph.  I guess Upper Deck couldn’t embedd the pen into the card so they just taped it to it.  I’m going to let this card go for $250.  Free Shipping!
