The three collections you would most want to see

[Howe’s Hunter]

Not because of significance to the hobby, but just because from what you have seen, or heard, would be of the most interest to you. Since my preference is T206s, all three of mine relate to that series. My three would be ...

1. John (Wonkaticket). If I ever do get to Pennsylvania again, John, you most certainly can expect a phone call and visit. The cards you've posted may not be the absolute highest grade, but certainly look stunning in scans, and I can only imagine what they look like in person.

2. Paul (T206 Collector). Just to think about how the cards we all collect and talk about here have survived war, paper drives, careless (and sometimes heartless) mothers, and then you have Paul's collection that isn't just survivors, but with autographs too. They might still have trace DNA on them. The Sheldons on the board would be going crazy. Would really like to see them in person also.

Finally (and a complete fantasy)

3. The combined collection of the gentlemen who have put together T206Resource.com. While I realize there are many contributors to the project, I would imagine that five or six of the names listed hold the majority of the cards talked about (?) and combined would have a collection that would hold my interest for days just going through.

So, whose collections would you like to see in person?

I would love to see Dmitri Young's collection in person. All of those PSA 10 rookies would be amazing. It's hard to believe any cards survived that long in that condition.

First, Keith Olbermann's collection. The Collins proof, all the other un-issued proofs, a couple Wagners.

Second, Richard Masson (sp?). He has a near set of T215 Pirates, a large number of T215 Red Cross, and who knows what else.

Third, David Hall. He's going for a T206 Master set. I would love to see them, even the cards he's outbid me for.

[mrvster]

+ 1 on olberman .......then Wonka for sure! then............hmmmmmmmmmmmm...


hall

if hall had more scraps / freaks, he'd move up to the top...

[Orioles1954]

My own

[wonkaticket]

Ed, guys I'm flattered wow. To even be mentioned in a thread with collections like Masson & Olbermann is an honor. I feel a bit out of place my collection compared to those gentleman is like being a brown pair of shoes in a tuxedo world.

Cheers,

John

Olbermann's collection for sure. Everything from the Wagners to 2015 Topps Archives.

I better leave this one alone before this turns into a thread about PSA conspiracies or card doctors. Although some of his cards may have had assistance at some point.

I see no one has mentioned the obvious choice, Marshall Fogel. I'm sure we'd all love to see his collection in person. Although maybe it's best I don't because I already spend too much money on cards and don't need another excuse to want to add to or upgrade my collection.

I believe Dmitri Young's collection was all post war rookie cards and that it was auctioned off several years ago. In the ESPN article, it was mentioned how much money he spent on it and my interpretation was that he must have bought a lot of unopened material to spend that much. He also mentioned sending cards back to PSA when he didn't get a 10.

One day's 9 is another day's 10. Essentially arbitrary most of the time.

From what I read it was all post war HOFers in PSA 10. I collect the same thing (in lower grade of course) which is why it would have been cool to see. I did read the same about him submitting and resubmitting on various cards, and have seen a few cards at auctions that were slabbed from his collection. So it wouldn't surprise me if he sold off the entire lot.

+++1. That would be my utmost concern if paying the kind of money those go for! If indeed they had "some help," then more of the same might certainly be on the way for their more lowly regarded (graded) counterparts. Supply increases to the point where it outpaces any increase in demand, values fall.

Best regards,

Larry

[rainier2004]

Olberman, Masson and I wish I could have seen Jim Blumenthals entire collection as it was amazing.

[sago]

Keith Olbermann
Dan McKee
Larry Serota

[CobbvLajoie1910]

I am sure there are others, but Jeff Prin.zer's postcard collection would be near the top of my list.

[T206Collector]

I'm stunned to be on your list Ed. That's very considerate of you. I've always thought of your collection as a sort of parallel to mine - T206s with a personal touch. Anyone here would love to see your Howe McCormicks in one place in person.

I'd also like to see the Olbermann collection, for the 2 dozen or so signed cards he told me he had, without identifying them for me.

And I'd love to see Jeff Morey's collection of signed pre-war cards, pre-2001 when Mastro got his hands on them for his auctions.
