What did I miss on this Pelty?

[t206hound]

First off, I'm not suggesting any kind of funny business with the auction. I am just really curious at the price...

Ran across this last night... how is it that three separate bidders each went $81 or higher? I know that there is some demand for the horizontals, but with soft corners, a crease, back paper loss and a pencil mark... really? $86?

What is it that I'm not seeing?

Was there anything about the factory?

If you look at the recent end prices, his cards seem to be going up in value. Also check out active listings for this card...there isn't one on ebay right now, so if someone wanted one, that was their only option. I would say, if you have an extra one of these cards, now is the time to put in on ebay because....insert supply and demand spiel here

Agreed

go figure... Pelty Horizontal is one of the 101 I don't have. Ugh. Don't want to pay $150 for an (otherwise) common.

I feel you on this one.

Mike--

It was like an invitation from EBay to "Please list somethng", so I did! Maybe I should have asked $175!

I know of one guy who has close to 50 Pelty horizontal cards (though I should say I have not seen them in person). I sold him my Brown Hindu, which was his first of that combination. I miss that card.

Beautiful image, and a very good pitcher (on a pretty bad team).

There are still none on ebay and the only one listed in the last few days was because of this thread. Compare that to 12 of the vertical pose of Pelty. If the last post is right, there might be someone buying them up and they are starting to dry up(in T206 terms of drying up that is)

Again, the fact is that I have never seen them in person, so perhaps he was yanking my chain, but he seemed to be sincere, so who knows.

That was over a year ago, so if in fact he is telling the truth, which my gut tells me he is, he may have acquired many more examples since this time.

Who knows, to be honest?
