T205 Experts

[Northviewcats]

Hello Everyone,

Just wondered if anyone else was watching this Hassan backed T205 auction on eBay. I was the under-bidder on the lot, and I would have bid more if I had the cash. I liked the condition of the cards and the fact that they all were Hassan backed. I'm especially curious to know what the experts think is the value of the Irvine Wilhelm with the corrected "suffered" spelling on the reverse of the card?

I'm no expert, but based on VCP, the Wilhelm alone was worth almost $1000, even in poor condition.

If the open mouth Bresnahan grades a 5 (it might even grade higher), then that's worth another $500.

I considered bidding on that lot, but passed because I just don't like the risk of high profile ungraded cards.

No doubt that the Hassan WIlhelm is what drove the price up of this lot.
It's a pretty hard card to find.

A few of the other cards look nice from a glance, if not trimmed they look higher grade than your run of the mill T205. Like Raymond for example, that could be pretty expensive if it's full size and as clean as it looks from my quick view.

Same with Bresnahan mouth open, looks pretty good and would be maybe 250-300 pretty easily. Graded 5/6 or better it could go much higher. Others look really nice from a distance.

So the buyer got a pretty good looking lot. In hand it would be possible to tell if they got a sweet deal or not. Certainly the speculation on the grades led to a pretty high bid price, so I think someone knew that they could do well on the lot if everything plays out.

Best of luck to that buyer!

Attic finds always seem to prove to be either really great or really disappointing.

They look authentic but several look trimmed. Not a horrible price even so.

Sweet lot overall. Agree with the above poster that the Wilhelm variation is a $1k card alone.

I was trying to figure out what was going on with the right border on Bresnahan. Almost looked like it was touched by black pen, but could very well just be 'rolling' of the gold leaf that has tarnished overtime.

Raymond looks to be EX+ and could easily be in the $400-500 range IMO. I'd be very interested to see how these grade out.

Hopefully they get shipped. If the seller thinks he left $1000 on the table, he may cancel the listing.
