And the majority are going for around $20. He should take the shop owners offer, turn around and buy two of the same card. Or pocket $20 and just buy one. Or even better, buy two, go back to the shop owner and see if he wants another for the same $40 offer. Keep one Puig and have an extra $40. Very rarely does a 9.5 ever add anywhere near 10x book value to any modern card.

i was going to but i wanted to make sure...That why i convened the beckett war council lol

Well that's exactly what I would do. If the offer still stands march on down to the shop and take it. You will be able to get the same card back in return and pocket $20. At worst there is one with a BIN of $30 right now you could hit and pocket $10, or one for $40 which is a Refractor BGS 9.5. Either way, take the guys offer.

I did not say YOU didn't understand. I said MOST. I deal with folks all the time that feel 50% BV is the automatic buying price for EVERYTHING.
