Posted By: <b>George Dreher</b><p>Wasn't that the one where Topps opened up their vaults and sold all of the proof cards?

Posted By: <b>George Dreher</b><p>Rich, they have what looks like 4 copies still available, but it will set you back $75.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320016018005&category=73430" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320016018005&category=73430</a>

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Wouldn't the results be too outdated for any kind of usage in the Beckett Guide?

Posted By: <b>Rich Klein</b><p>It'd be kind of cool<br /><br />I know it won't affect today's prices, but it's kind of neat to know what came before<br /><br />Rich

Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>I have a tearsheet from SCD on 9/15/89. It mentions the following prices realized for original 53 Topps paintings (unsure if this includes 10% buyer's commission)and is not as precise as one would hope:<br /><br />Mantle $121K<br />Mays $88K<br />J. Robinson $71K<br />Ford $35.2K<br />Feller $33K<br />Campanella $16.5K<br /><br />The rest of the prices are mostly football-I can post them if you want them. I may have the final prices realized sheet around here somewhere. I'll have to hunt for it but am not 100% I have it.<br /><br />Dave

Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>I have had no luck finding the prices realized. I checked my Topps auction catalog thinking I threw the results in there but I did not. I'll try to dig more this weekend as I have a large stack of tearsheets and papers to go thru in this search (gotta update my vertical files and index on of these days). I do know it is not anything issued by the auction house since I did not bid and was likely an article somehere, possibly SCD but possibly not. Have you tried contacting Guernsey's? <br /><br />Anyway, will post after I search some more.

Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>OK, I have not been able to find the auction results. I'll be reorganizing my basement and finally installing a proper office upstairs over the spring so a lot of stuff i have buried down here may come to light. If I do find it, I will post accordingly but it's likely to be a while.<br /><br />Dave
