June was a record month with the help of some lot sales. There were complete sets of 2001 (minus /900 autos, $61.00, 2002 ($227.50), 2003 ($217.50) and 2004 ($203.00) SP Authentic Golf RCs put up for auction in June, pushing total sales over the 350 mark and surpassing the previous sales record of 336 set in February.
It’s also interesting to note that there were no sales of 2002 SP Authentic Phil Mickelson RCs (except for the lot mentioned above) and for the first time this year Phil is not in the Top 25.

Tiger Woods
2001 SP Authentic Gold Auto /100
Tiger Gold gets 2 sales in the same month for the first time since March and retains the #1 spot. This marks the third time in six months that /100 has enjoyed the top spot and has never been worse than #1. If you don't have this card you want it. If you have this card it is your best card. |

Tiger Woods
2001 SP Authentic Auto /900
Do you want the good news or bad news? Good news, Tiger won the U.S. Open. Bad news, Phil didn't.........er Tiger is out for the rest of the season. For the second straight month Tiger's /900 RC has decreased in price and I expect the Avg. Price to stay stagnant through the summer. It was an amazing run as this card went from $1200 to $8000 (and back down to $5000) in the span of a few months. |

Paula was just one shot back through 54 holes at the U.S. Open last weekend, only to suffer a terrible final round of 78 to fall out of contention. Still it's good experience for the next major. Her RC continues to sell strong with a 2% increase from May on 3 sales in June. |

Seems every month I'm saying the same thing about Natalie's rookie, steady sales, big potential, needs a major win. Natalie gets her first increase (37%) in months and I can say confidently this card is poised to be a consistent Top 10 RC. Graded Natalie RCs are also starting to become more prevelant on the Bay which will help. |
