1909 T206 WALTER JOHNSON (Portrait) PSA 9 Mint on eBay

[CuriousGeorge]

Why anyone would pay anywhere near 150-175 is beyond me when 2 nicer ones sold at Heritage last year for 108 and 114?

Big difference between this year and last year when considering the big name portrait T206s.

There is not one high grade T206 that has sold this year anywhere near the price of last September’s Heritage T206 auction. This one won’t either. The seller is delusional and his reserve will almost assuredly never be reached.

Could you post those two listings? Thanks....

Both look like solid cards...Having said that, either they were very good buys, or this Johnson in question is going to exceed expectations....I would choose the later even though it won't meet reserve....

This card is by far the worst of the three. I’d be surprised if it got past 100-110. The seller can stand in line with the guy selling the JJ T210 A for 145K that’s been listed for months, the E121 Ruth 7 at 139K that’s been the same and the rest of the eBay silly sellers who think they’re the only smart ones and someone will come along dumb enough to pay their far over market value prices. I guess when 90% of your net worth is tied up in one card this is what you try to do. Their time might be better spent finding a real career.

Well, as of 8:38 a.m. EST, the reserve has been lowered, but not yet met.

I'm just waiting for the next $3 off coupon.

I still see cards on ebay that I would swear have been there for a decade, or longer.
