Heritage Auction - #1 T206 PSA Registry Set - Ends September 20th!

[petecld]

Hey Everyone,

As you may have heard, Heritage is offering a near complete set of T206 cards. Yes, it is a very special set. We are offering the #1 All Time Finest T206 Set on the PSA Set Registry! Bidding has already started! Ending date is September 20, 2018. The ending of the auction is the same format it has been for years with open bidding ending at 10pm central time then an extended period where each lot ends on an individual basis based on a 30-minute clock rule. You have to have placed a bid on a lot before 10pm central time to be able to bid during the 30-minute extended period. No second session this time. All 520 lots end on the 20th. The home page for the auction is HERE

Coming from someone who has handled thousands of T206 cards over these many years I can say this set is just incredibly nice. These are by far the nicest T206s I have ever seen. Some might feel one would get bored looking at them but that just doesn’t seem to happen with these cards. When we began to catalog the set the PSA census had recorded over 223,000 cards. By the time the catalog was completed the count was over 225,000 and the pop numbers for these cards had not changed. The only cards missing are the Doyle variation, Mordecai Brown/Cubs Jersey, Fielder Jones/Hands at Sides and Honus Wagner.

Highlights & Facts:
- There are 520 lots. Every card is being offered as a single card.
- Well over 90% of the set is graded NM-MT, MINT or Gem MINT!
- There are 13 cards on the census graded PSA 10. This set has nine of the thirteen.
- The John McGraw “Finger In Air” is the only known T206 HoFer in Gem MT.
- Ty Cobb – All four are NM-MT 8.
- Christy Mathewson – One Mint 9, one NM-MT+ 8.5 and one NM-MT 8.
- Napoleon Lajoie – Throwing is Mint, the other two are NM-MT.
- Cy Young – “Bare Hand” is Mint, “Portrait” is NM-MT and “Glove Shows is NM.
- Joe Tinker – “Bat Off Shoulder” is Mint, the others are all NM-MT. His portrait card is unbelievable.
- Walter Johnson – Both MINT 9!
- Southern Leaguers… Fans of this select group are going to have an early X-mas. They are all NM-MT 8 or MINT 9 and most of them have “Old Mill” backs.

If you ever wanted to treat yourself with a special T206, this is the ideal auction to do so.

Registration is free!

Catalogs – They are in the mail and some should have them already. If you would like a free catalog please email me all of your mailing information: peterc@ha.com and we will send one out. To keep getting free catalogs we ask (okay, require) that you place a min. of $1,000 in bids in each and every catalog (including Platinum) auction. Bids need to be placed in each catalog auction. Monthly auctions do not count. If there is no activity for even one auction they may not send out a catalog. I know this may sound harsh but catalogs are expensive and we are sending out more and more with each auction.

Good Luck and Thank You for Bidding,

Peter

If you are new to vintage and collecting T206, check out the Heritage auction and then check out Jon's T206 520 thread, and you will get the extremes in the spectrum of how you can collect them.

Peter, can you advise why Heritage is now taking the position that they need to withhold state tax on certain states, but not others? I know you have physical locations in Texas, New York, etc. but now I see Maryland, North Carolina, etc. What is your nexus to these states? Also, it would be helpful if you listed the states you must withhold on and the applicable tax rates -- when someone is buying $30k cards through Heritage, it would be nice to know how much extra will need to be paid without having to google sales tax rates. Thank you.

Bidding for the premier T206 set in the hobby ends tonight! Open bidding ends at 10pm central time so you still have time.

Good Luck!


Ryan Hotchkiss - I am not a tax expert. I did email your post to our CFO and I am waiting for a response to your questions.

Since another asked - If there were reserves on any of the cards they would have been revealed days ago.

Every card in this auction is being offered with NO reserve!
