So how are uncut sheets valued? Obviously condition is key...

Is a clean uncut card worth top book value, less, more?

Ted, is that your sheet? It last sold in a Lipset auction about 10 years ago and someone (hopefully you) got an absolute steal on it. Still kicking myself.

[tedzan]

Ted, is that your sheet? It last sold in a Lipset auction about 10 years ago and someone (hopefully you) got an absolute steal on it. Still kicking myself.



Back in the Fall of 1981, good ole long time collector/dealer and close friend, Bill Bossert, invited me to his BB card shop in Swarthmore,
Pennsylvania. Bill and I were avid uncut sheet collectors, and he wanted me to check-out several vintage uncut sheets he had acquired.

At that time, this 34G Hi # sheet was loaned to Bill by Rob Lifson for Bill's article in the Spring 1982 issue of the Baseball Cards Magazine.

This 25-card sheet was reasonably priced in 1981. I was tempted to acquire it. However, my daughter Debbie had just started College.
And her tuition costs were a higher priority to me at that time than me owning a 47-year old piece of cardboard.

So, I came very close to acquiring it. Anyhow, it's one of my few regrets in this hobby that I didn't.

Best regards, good friend.


TED Z

.

Anthony......what did it sell for in Lipset's auction 10 years ago ?
.

[Griffins]

Ted (and Pete) thanks for the replies.

It sold for about $21k in Lipset about 2003-4 IIRC. Figured it would be several times that and woke up the day after the auction kicking myself. Someone got a major steal.

[LincolnVT]

So, who can give me an answer on the value of an uncut sheet? Obviously depends on condition, who is on the sheet....

For example, would an uncut sheet from 1962 with mantle and no ther stars be worth the combined value of the cards, be worth more or less?

[Griffins]

Best bet is to check realized prices from some of the auction houses
There were some notable aberrations on '70's sheets recently, don't let those skew your reality

[tedzan]

This 1st series sheet comprises of the LARGE card version of this 1952 issue. I acquired it at a shopping mall in Media, PA
in 1982. I have searched for another such sheet for 33 years; and, have not found one. I'd say it's unique in the hobby.

Ted, that 52 Bowman large football sheet is the best one so far. I'm a little biased to that set though.

I don't have a picture of this available but I have a 1949 Bowman uncut sheet of 36 (#'s 1-36) with the 3rd sheet back overprinted on the back. Our pal, Ted Z., has seen this sheet when visiting my home.

[itjclarke]

This is awesome eye candy guys! Please please keep posting!:D

BTW- is that E93 sheet the real deal???? I'm aware there are no known T206 sheets, but are there a handful of other period sets represented?? E's- 90-1 through 98, T212, American Caramel? Regardless, I love seeing these (the Goudeys and Bowmans are great too)... and would love to have one some day, but doubt I will for space (and cost) considerations.

Hey Clint

I am certainly in agreement with you. Of all the Sportscards' sheets in my collection, this sheet is my favorite. The artwork
is amazing. Pictured on it is one of my favorite guys, Sammy Baugh. And for the NY Giants fans, Frank Gifford's rookie card.

The 1950 Bowman cards were loved by this 11 year old kid in 1950. Of all my original BB card collection that I recovered in the 1970's, the 1950 Bowman cards
were the most plentiful. I needed only 12 to complete the set......and, my favorite, the Ted Williams card was the "biggie".

That's some of the little bit of Greek that I know, Ted... also can count to 10 and know all about "sit down, shut up and eat your dinner"... lol

That's so cool... must have been awesome to find those sheets. Do you still have th entire set? (I'm guessing the answer is an emphatic "yes!" I've only got about 20 from that set... but their prized possessions. I just got the Warren Spahn... looks (again) like something that should be hung in the Louvre. The catcher cards are also amazing in that series. The '51 and '52 were awesome, too... but something about that '50 set with nothing on the front, is hugely appealing to me...

Efharisto poli to you, too!

[tedzan]

You'll like this story.....in 1950 (most of us kids in our neighborhood were 10 to 12 years old) if we weren't playing BB or Stick-ball,
we were playing Poker or Black-Jack on our porches.

Instead of pennies or nickles, we would use for "betting chips" 1950 Bowman BB cards. I was real good at playing Black-Jack; and,
I would win many 1950 Bowman BB cards.

I guess that's why I found so many of them when I recovered the sportscards from my youth.

[tedzan]

Topps printed the various series of this set on duplicate 100-card sheets. The 1st series consists of 80 subjects; therefore, Topps's printers
had to Double-Print two rows of cards to fill out their 100-card sheet.

This 1st series sheet is a partial sheet of 50 cards, which comprises of cards #41-80. Note that cards #51-60 (top row and 3rd row down)
are Double-Printed.

The missing top half of this 1st series sheet comprises of cards #1-40. I believe that the row consisting of cards #31-40 are Double Printed.

Dave Hornish (toppcat) is our resident expert on Topps sets......and, perhaps he will chime in here with additional insight regarding this great
post-war set.

[thenavarro]

It's not pre-war, but I think it's kinda cool.



Here's the description from when I bought it. Not sure how much of it is REA hyperbole, but nonetheless the piece is neat.

"color-process proof sheet from the 1968 Topps set consisting of forty-four cards, including the key rookie card of Nolan Ryan and Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez, and Carl Yastrzemski. Printed on a thick paper stock (similar to vinyl), the sheet is arranged in four rows of eleven cards with large margins on top and bottom, the latter of which includes black, blue, magenta, and yellow color spectrum lines. Crop marks are also visible in all four margins. All but one of the cards appear as they would in final production when viewed from the front; the Yastrzemski checklist, however, is missing all of the black text which would normally appear in the checklist portion of the card, suggesting that the offered sheet may have been one press run short of a final production version. The back of the sheet is blank. These sheets were used by the printer for the purpose of checking colors, registration, and generally proofing the cards before final production began. Bright and clean, both front and back, with a small, almost imperceptible, tear along the bottom edge and a chip out of the upper right corner, neither of which detracts from the overall presentation. The Nolan Ryan rookie card, which is situated in the lower left corner of the sheet, displays exceptionally well and is an ideal highlight. Dimensions: 21 x 28 inches.

ha ha... that's awesome. We used to play dice (single / double / triple / homer / out / out) with cards... winner take all. But I sold all the cards I won for $25 when my family moved to LA when I was in 8th grade. I thought I needed the spending money. Stupidest deal ever.
