Yes, exactly. Totally agree with this, too. And it's highly predictable. If I found a windfall of something in my grandpappies estate, I might sell 99 of the 100 pieces -- but keep 1 for myself as a memento.... until I decided to sell that one, too.

There are a number of high grade E98s in the latest REA auction with no BSF designation. Either these were cracked & crossed/resubmitted -- or they were submitted from grading outside of the initial BSF find. I guess the world will never know!

There was at least one very high grade set owned by a member who doesn't post a lot. Could be his?

The Black Swamp Find made a significant appearance in the April 19 Heritage Auction, which ended last night. For those folks wondering whether the provenance of that collection still carries any cachet, consider the following:

A PSA 1.5 Jennings Red, horribly off-center, and with an actual tear in the border, sold for $1,560, because it was the only version of Jennings found in Black Swamp six years ago:

The same auction also featured a very clean PSA 5 Jennings Red, well-centered, with no tears, and it it sold for just a tic above at $1,680:

Collectors are plainly paying for the provenance. Which one would you rather have?

I can't imagine why on earth you would want the clearly inferior card. Who cares where it was found, or who owned it previously.
