At 2700. THE seller had dropped his price

How do they present? If they present well for the grades id say pull the trigger.

I would say if you are buying for a long term investment more than 5 yrs then $2700 may not be bad. If you are looking for a flip or short term then wait till you get the deal you want. They come up seemingly often in auction houses. Hope you the best in your quest.


BTW I think you were smart in buying that Plank when you did. I may be wrong but I think Goodwin's Plank will drive the price of all of them up due to the publicity and even when it fades back down from the hype the card will retain a significant percent increase in value.

Yep i also think all plank value will go up with the goodwin plank.

For the demmitt and ohara it is not for flip it is for my set but i want to have a deal, i am not in ruch i want to make a good deal

I have been looking at that OHara. I probably won't pull the trigger on it...but I have thought about it enough to where I can't say I would blame you if you did. There's another at auction on ebay at $1650 that has tempted me more...It's a GIA2 but seems to have a lot more eye appeal but will set you back and extra $500.

I need about 8 to finish my set of 518, I already have the Demmitt, I think I can wait for the right Ohara to come along. The $400 I save will go a long way to helping me upgrade my bat off Cobb.

Plank has been the one I have always wanted but i have never been in a position in 40 years of collecting to make a serious play for one. Wagner is just out of the question and honestly, I just am not that big of a fan of the Magie...it seems WAY closer in scarcity to the Ohara/Demmitt that the Plank to me...I have consigned one and know of two others that have come out of the local area in the last 20 years...it could just be a function of the fact that I live in Piedmont land and Polar Bears don't come up in lots that have their origin locally very often (Old Mills are the nest most frequent). Of course there are a lot of guys more knowlegeable than I on this board.

FWIW, I sold my SGC 20 O'Hara this past summer for $1,500.

I'd hold off on those two examples at $2,700.

For me
Magie,ohara and demmitt are in the same class
Plank and wagner are in another class

Finally i think i will passe on these ohara and demmitt and use the money i have for afford more t206 hof.

At this point, you should just move down to New York -- American Legends (the seller of those Demmitt/O'Hara cards you shared) is a 15 minute drive from my house!
