Personally I could not care less who owned it. And while I have heard some claim that t adds some extra assurance of authenticity, I don't believe that, because cards could have been worked on prior to being submitted.

I'm a fan of certain pedigreed cards, be it cards from Lionel Carter's impressive extensive collection to
baseball players who had cards of themselves. Here's some Ted Williams personally owned cards. |

I see the draw in a player's collection or a hobby veteran's collection - wouldn't pay more unless it was a signed card from a player's collection. But I am with you on that dumb "Collector's Collection" label. I was bidding on one and am kind of glad I lost, because my first act would have been to send it back for a regular label!

Felt the same way till I seen the Ted Williams cards. Now 1 of those I would pay a huge premium for. Any others I would consider it less valuable because of the added writing.

To me "Collectors Collector" sounds stupid. That being said I might pay a very small premium for a card from Lionel's collection, Nagy's collection, or someone famous in the hobby. However, when I know the provenance of a card and it is truly new to the hobby, from an original collection....those I like a lot. I am the 2nd "family" owner of this card..... I got it from the grandson of the person who collected it as a child. (and this card started my biggest find ever, from outside of our hobby)

I have a couple cards with the Collector's Collection flips as well. Its kind of like if you bought a car, but then were stuck driving it with the previous owner's vanity license plate.

I would get it re-holdered. I couldn't live with a flip that said such nonsense.

Maybe 'Collector' did it as a sarcastic poke at the Nagy, Carter, etc. personalized flips. SGC might have a rule that a particular person owns the name once it is requested, so now 'Collector' can only be used by this one guy. I think it's amusing and odd, or if my theory is correct, extremely funny.

I had a collectors collection t205 and hated the look of it. Aren't we all collectors?

I'm not into a label that indicates a personal collection, however I do have a couple of Carter's cards. I wouldn't pay a premium for the collectors label. I think something like "Oregon Find" or "Cambridge Collection" would be cool, but I wouldn't pay a premium for those either. It would just be neat to know if a card came from a significant find/collection.

Sean,
The only reason I'd like to have a Hall PSA T206 slab is to show how ridiculous some of those grades were. I can recall a slightly creased card with a 5 or 6 grade. I have that auction catalog somewhere... I wish I knew where it was so I could post some of those ridiculous grades.
