Unearthing this thread. After seeing the PWCC auction results tonight, I'm having to go with the Johnson Portrait. Someone just dropped $2750 on a PSA 2.5.
Come to think of it, people must be feeling pretty good financially right now. I was very surprised at how high some of the bids went.

Pretty robust Speaker prices recently...certainly also Matty, WaJo, Young too...seems like top tier HOF, especially with rare backs, surging.

I got outbid on every single card I bid on tonight with them, figuring to get at least a couple. All were “commons”, with some tougher commons, that a year ago were pulling much less. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

While not T206, another surprisingly high result for a Cobb card from the era was the SGC 4 E102 Ty Cobb which ended for $17,656. Yowza! Last edited by CW; 09-09-2018 at 10:04 PM. |

I guess the question is... is it wise to get the big name T206 hall of famers (Cobb, Wajo etc) (If you don't have them) now before they go up and up , or will they flatten out? You would think they would cool off.

Or maybe they had been stuck in a trading range for years and are just starting to break out? I for one never collected pre war up until a couple of years ago... I collected Mickey, Roberto, Willie, etc... I didn't even collect Goudey... but I always knew the history of Cobb, WaJo, Ruth, Wagner, etc...but it's only been recently that I really had the money to buy them and really got into the history of the different cards and players....started making friends with other collectors in prewar...and maybe there are more people like me that are moving these higher and could have the means to do so for years... Maybe we are getting into the prewar HOF bull market?
I'm collecting the prewar HOFs (not just t206, but candy cards, postcards, etc) for the fun of it and not to make money, so if they don't keep moving higher that's ok...but of course there is that feeling of wanting to do well with what I buy! Last edited by BLongley; 09-10-2018 at 05:56 AM. |

Plus, why the demand may be high for big name t206 hall of famers right now, so is the supply. Just check the pop reports. There’s a lot out there. Nows a great time to sell, not buy IMO. That being said, the cards maybe worth picking up now are the ones that are well centered with good registration and color. The supply on those cards are few and far between. But you’ll have to pay a premium.

Funny how you say now is the time to sell and not buy when you have a Want to Buy post in the t206 B/S/T section

I also believe Speaker is a steal still. HOF RC with only one card in the set. And while I’m being called out, I’m looking for Keeler, Tinker, Joss portraits...and no I don’t think those players will explode in value. Just love the design
