The last PSA 2 sold for $63k at Heritage in May of this year. A SGC 1 that had a couple small holes in it just sold a couple weeks ago for $30k @ Heritage also.

I’m thinking 42-44k range realistically. I’m interested in seeing others thoughts also. This auction has many great Jackson items in it.

$42-44k is a good guess but it's so hard to tell with a card like this. Could easily see a bidding war push it north of $50k or even inline with the $63k or above. IMO the third best looking CJ across the 14-15 sets, just behind the Cobb and Matty (probably just my bias for big names over aesthetics)... a serious collector with deep pockets would love to add this one to the collection or perhaps, sadly, see it as an opportunity to flip down the road. Best Shoeless Joe card available.

I agree completely. I wouldn’t be surprised to see near 50k either. I went conservative due to auction ending time with holidays and the fact there is strong presence of Jackson represented in the auction. It will be exciting to watch.

This thread should be moved to the main forum where all proper discussions about ending auction prices on extremely expensive cards belong.

100% agree about the time of year being an issue but anything below $50k is a great buy IMO. Ive gotten some really great buys in December. This is one of my favorite cards, it absolutely beautiful.

Do you think the SGC hurts or helps the price, or does it have a neutral effect?

it seems like a split auction

many great cards seem low at this point but seems to low like the bidders are waiting till the final day and others like the 1916 Gimbel Ad back Jackson and the 2 Rookie Jacksons that seems to have a stronger price than I would have thought at this point.

I believe it will POP and be over $50K

I don’t think Sgc slab should effect an iconic prewar card at all tbh. I have my bid in on the card personally as well to a certain number to match my PSA copy. I hope it does well, but also wouldn’t be heartbroken to have it land in my home either haha.

I have a bid in as well and would be absolutely thrilled to snag it.

I cannot believe its not on the first page, its literally buried in the auction, lot number 940. I would be extremely frustrated if it were my card, IMO this should be on the first page in the top 25 lots!

I agree a top 10 iconic card. It’s strongly centered also with strong color.

Well, there's another set I won't be starting... :p

No doubt it’s a beast, but it is a 1915. I would say the 1914 (3x rarer than the 1915 and a year earlier), is a top ten iconic card.

I really like that the 1915 example has the caramel stains- very nice card/example. Good luck to all.

Yeah 💯 . I often group Jackson and Cobb 14/15 images in referral to top card. I should have said pose. The rarity of 14’ is def taking precedence in each of those CJ issues. 14’ certainly scarce and more value, yet not a crazy amount of 15’s either making them pretty coveted as well. I’d like to have each year in my collection.

The caramel stain in the lower right of the card anchors the image which has always had a "falling off to the left" dynamic, that's what gives this card superior eye appeal, that and the really cool caramel stains on the front of his uniform/sleeves.

Yet you found it. Whew!

I agree I would love to have one of each year for my collections. So if everyone would kindly stop bidding maybe I would have a chance:D:D:D

With a few days left I wish everyone the best of luck.

That'll never happen. One of my pet peeves about bidders. I can't understand why people keep bidding stuff up all day, every day.

Josh there is another Jackson same grade @ Mile High so you've got an even better chance of landing one!

last few hours left and your prediction is holding up. its sitting at $40k w/ the BP. I wonder how many different bidders are a part of this 40 that have bid.
