The lot included Coveleski and Southworth, which I need for my collection. So I was hoping to buy the lot for a few thousand, sell off what I didn't want, and hopefully come out ok. Boy was I naive. The lot sold for nearly $45,000. Was there a Ruth rookie hidden in there somewhere? Or were those Zeenuts just a whole lot more valuable than I ever imagined? Many of the better cards like Heilman had writing on front -- I thought that would bring the value way down. |
It seems as if Zeenut HOF prices have been down lately and I was hoping that was going to translate to that lot and I could get it for less than $20K, and boy was I naïve, as well. I was only going to keep Covaleski, Southworth and Heilmann, and whatever card represented an upgrade. Then sell off the lower grade card.
