Anyone score off the Heritage sale this weekend?

No, but I noticed the Kopec T229 Jack Johnson SGC 3 went for 12K.

Don't know how that compares to past sales, but it's one I'm relatively confident I've never owned and sold off in the past, so I don't have to feel bad for seeing it go that high. :D

Hmm, didn't realize Troy was selling off his Ali collection.

Weird scolling through all the programs offered. Seeing some very common CGC graded programs selling for more then a lot of the rarer programs.

Results all over the place.

Strong prices on some of the posters.

I was wondering what that Johnson went for. Nice looking 3, that card is probably permanently out of my price range now.

No worries, Greg, it's not like you will find one to buy anyway. :D

I kid you, my friend. In the last two months three N223 Kinney Hold To Light Sullivans have reached market, after a very long drought, so anything could pop up.

Ain't that the truth! I haven't exactly followed this card specifically, but I don't believe I've seen another one besides that cool misprint copy you have (or had). My photo archive doesn't have an example picture of a correctly printed Johnson at all until this one.

I've gotten to the point where most of the cards on my c. 1910 boxing want list are just exciting to even see appear, whether I get them or not. Sometimes it's just fun to see things we didn't even know existed crop up, or cards that haven't been seen for years somehow come up in batches. This is what has been so fun with boxing, it's not usually a contest of how big my wallet is as it is an effort of research, digging and patience.

I have no idea how many T224/T229 cards there really are out there, but I'm starting to think it's not more than a couple dozen of each maybe.

Fun pick up. 1915 RPPC Johnson v Willard in Cuba, really like the narrative on the back.

"Beginning of the 2nd round Johnson v Willard Havana Cuba 4/15/15 won by Willard in 26th round"

That would be a generous estimate. I am also thinking that some cards are less available because they were destroyed at a greater rate. Al Jurgela (hi Al) and I were kicking around the seeming SPs of the T226 set--basically, the black fighters--and one thought was that people threw them out because the set was a Louisiana issue and cards of black folks might not have been well-regarded. Well, I am thinking that after Johnson beat Jeffries a 1911 issue of Johnson might have been unwanted by some proportion of the collecting base. No proof of that, just an idea.

Some fun stuff with my recent CSG subs:

Pretty jazzed about the tens. That Ali is a 1/1 card. No idea what that means since I can't find any sale comps from the set. I haven't see a prismatic gold for sale in some time and I've been looking.
