Dmitri Young Collection
In case you missed it, there was an article on Dimitri Young in an issue of SMR. To summarize, Dmitri Young spent many years piecing together one of the world's most impressive post-WWII baseball card collections. Not settling for anything but perfection, the Dmitri Young Collection consisted of only cards graded Gem Mint PSA 10. Earlier this year Young sold his collection through SCP Auctions. The results were pretty astounding.
Of the nearly 500 baseball cards from the Dmitri Young Collection, ten went for more than $50,000 each. Six of those reached six figures. Leading the way was a PSA 10 1955 Topps Roberto Clemente, which closed at $432,690. A PSA 10 1954 Topps Hank Aaron sold for $357,594. As impressive as these numbers are, I think he actually lost money on his collection. Click the link below and it will take you to an article that goes into more about the collection and tells a bit more about Young himself. Enjoy. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/former-...llection-.html
