The ultimate trade up

I'm not sure it would be that high. Maybe to the right collector though. I'd say $75-$200 would be a good estimate. Photos have also completely exploded in the last year (especially Ruth, Gehrig, and Joe Jackson). Photos that used to go for $50 a couple of years ago now easily go into the hundreds if not thousands.

That is a very generous estimate. If it is a Wire, as it was originally advertised, I don't see a non playing Wagner Wire selling for over $100. Wire photos do not carry the demand originals do. Neither do post playing day photos compared to playing days. I think the $40 it sold for in 2015 is about what I would expect it to receive today. Now if it turns out it isn't really a Wire as Rhys originally claimed, then it is possible it sells/trades for a slightly higher price.

Agreed. Even though image quality can vary wildly on wire photos, even the best rarely sell for more than $50.

Edit...nevermind, you were totally right... Regardless, I agree with you on the price.

Fun thread! Good luck.

I saw your T206 Overall on ebay. In my opinion, in order to have any chance of reaching your goal within a few years rather than decades, you need to churn through your "inventory" and turn it into new stuff. If you had millions of dollars worth of cards, you could price stuff like Dean's and not care if you only sell a few things per week. The Overall is a $30 card if you're lucky. Listing it for $100 is just shooting yourself in the foot. You won't get any offers and your trade up inventory will just sit stagnant. Again, my opinion, but I think you need to just get someone to pay $30 and roll that $30 into something else.

It's been fun to follow along, I'm rooting for you.

The overall is not part of the trade up. That's why it's priced as such. Only what is listed in this thread is available. That was a different trade that didn't involve the Walter Johnson. Ps it's best offer so someone can offer anything.

Ah ok, my mistake.
