I did some E-bay research on the Fleer Barry Bonds Rookie card (and BTW, there were MILLIONS of this card printed), and posted some results here and at:

Unfortunately, the auctions don't stay available for much more than 30 day's on E-bay so I've also printed them out on paper so I have them for the slabbing table at theconvention.
Here's what I wrote in that article.
Is one grading company's OPINION...

worth so much more than anothers? After all both are OPINIONS!
Two baseball cards graded MINT GEM 10 by two different grading companies.
This one graded by AGS currently hasn't sold with a BY NOW bid at $185.00

This one graded by PSA which has 19 bids and a current bid of $1,525.00

A recent PSA (the perfered company) MINT 9 of the same card sold for $41.00

An interesting ONE GRADE price range difference to say the least!
My guess is that this is exactly what the casino chip/tokens pro-slabbing people are hoping will come to our hobby.
WHAT A VERY SAD DAY FOR OUR HOBBY
