1916 Fleischmanns at Goodwin last night...

Wonder what anyone, who was checking them out, thinks about prices they went for. An amazing group of about 20, a few HOFers, mainly not, all of them either only graded card or one of two. Very hard to judge value and bid, as most never auctioned in the past and even comparables tough.

For example, VCP had some common SGC 2's in the recent past (and not even only ones graded) for 1500-1700. Last night similar cards went for about half of that, but prices all over the map. I thought last night's prices might go higher, but very quirky. For example, the one SGC 5 went for over $4000 but a 4.5 (only one ever graded) went for $720, and another for $1100.

Possibly there were "too many" of them at once and if sold separately prices would have been much higher. Any thoughts?

I have handled and sold quite a few over the years. The prices were fairly strong, overall, imo.....

I really liked the image on the Chief Meyers card. If I weren't waiting for LOTG to end tomorrow I'd have been all over it.

Me too. I was the under bidder on that one...

I thought it was interesting that SGC 10 common T213-2's had starting bids of $100, plus the vig and shipping. These cards commonly sell on eBay for anywhere between $30 and $50. I wonder what the thought process was for starting these at $100? Needless to say, they didn't sell.

Strong prices overall, not sure there were any "deals" on them. I like the set but rarer sets have struggled to gain similar pricing, not sure I totally understand why this set sells for as much as they do (specifically the larger HOFers).
