FWIW thats the price without the buyers premium. All Hunt results are without it.

Thanks for the screenshot.
It took a lot of emailing to delete my invaluable account a while back, so I didn't want to have to make a new one to check. 30k seems like a decent price... but, I am talking out of my butt on the subject. |

I feel much like going to church, this piece takes a little faith and belief on the side of the buyer. I wasn’t a fan when it popped up years ago and I still wouldn’t want to invest hopes and good wishes into my collection. It just seems too simplistic for the purported time period for quality.
That said, these items are so difficult sometimes as they have as much going for them as against them in an argument, so it falls on the belief of the buyer. If they are happy with the purchase then more power to them. It’s just not my bag.

I shake my head... If offered to me for $300 including premium, I'd not buy that.
The seller, the auction house, and the buyer all thought that sheet is genuine and worth exponentially more than what I think. And many of you feel the same. But a few of you have doubts. It reminds me of that odd Goudey card from years ago, that everyone was praising and admiring as a new find. I posted doubts about the card. And a handful of folks here then gradually posted similar concerns (folks with a right smart of card sense and experience, more than me). And gradually this board's consideration was that that Goudey card wasn't genuine. With this "sheet," I kinda hope that the sheet goes nowhere for several years, and that eventually a few more are found, some with sufficient provenance that the hobby is satisfied the sheets are genuine. I'm just not there. |

Exactly except this uncut sheet came out of Brooklyn 40 years ago. Was offered for sale both time out of PA, however.

It could be that some of the reasons people don't like it are why it was never produced. Many of these crude(ish) period sets that came with different advertising backs (E92,E101,E102, E104/D359 Etc) probably started out as a printing company trying to sell time on their machines. They send out sales people with prototypes or samples and see if you can get businesses to either buy the cards you created with just blank backs or you can add their business name for a price. Thats the formula that Felix Mendelsohn (sp?) used for all the 1916-1917 sets at least. Maybe this one never got off the cutting room floor but someone kept the prototype sample. It could also explain why there are stars included in the player selection, easier to sell to a potential customer? Might be easier to find source photo's of stars as well...just spitballing ideas here instead of the easy "Nah, doesn't look right to me" parroting.

Brunners may have been ugly, but still had a more layered print process than this.i also did not say it wasn’t real, I said I would not be comfortable on faith and no supporting evidence as to period. Did you read it? Are you personally involved with this item? With 400 posts in 14 years and 6 just on this thread it’s a little odd.

(space for seperate thought) Its funny that someone would have to be "involved with the item" to take interest in it. I'm reminded why I prefer lurking most of the time, so I'll just stick to that from now on...and I've been here for 21 years now, there was a site move in 2009 that changed the dates in everyones bio pages at the time.

Yes, mine has the same date of 2009 for the change as well, so apologies for underestimating while playing it safe. If it is a contrary opinion then please have at it as constructive talk is important. I just read your reply as a subtle jab and did not see the reasoning as it was a personal opinion the same as yours and not directed at you at all. I readily stated it could or could be, but I just felt that a 30k commitment to this being a rare unissued baseball set more than a possible salesman sample or printers proof was not in my personal window. I think that opinion was fair.

I think the sheet is fascinating. Love hobby mysteries and love to float ideas and theories. Should not lead to animosity though.
