1888 N29 A&G question

[Archive]

Posted By: Damian

I am considering buying a very nice raw N29 baseball card. What is the market for these once slabbed? I don't think PSA has graded the particular player I am considering and I am guessing it will garner a 6. Any help is as always very appreciated.

Here is one graded by PSA to compare. What player is yours?

What did you have to pay for yours? Did you buy it graded? This info can really help me alot. I'll expose the player if I buy it. You can really help me here and I appreciate it.

Sory, this won't help you. I bought this raw about 15-20 years ago. Probably cost me less than $50.00.

Thanks. The card I am considering is $900. It looks really nice. Not much past sales on these to determine value. I think I am going to take a shot. What do you think? Player is Fogarty.

Bottom line is that if you feel you like the card for $900, then get it. If you are buying it because you think you can resell it for more then you better be sure about the grade or else you may be a little disappointed. But then again how disappointing can an N29 with nice visual appeal be.

Good luck!

First I would like to say Mike wheat is a class act and I have bought many great cards from him.

If I'm not mistake I think that card has some print loss on the front, most noticeable on the right side of his hat. I would think the bottom right corner looks a little weak for todays standard of a EXMT card.

These are just my thoughts. I am in no why trying to get in-between the sale of this card. It is a very nice card but I don't think it could be in a 6 holder. I am only giving my personal opinion. Take it how you want to. But hay what do I know I crack all my cards out.

Wow,
I think your information is way off. Psa has graded 27 Fogartys with 6 psa 8s. I don't want to rain on your parade but 900 was probably a steep price. A psa 8 in last years Mastro auction sold for 1400.
What made you believe this player never had a card graded by psa?

Agree that it's likely a 5.

"I like the way the card looks" !!! That is just what I wanted to hear. IMO yes you paid too much but you like it and thats all that matters. I couldnt see this card even getting a 5 because it has paper loss on the front but either way great pick up and I hope you enjoy it.

I like the way it looks too. Big booming color - just leaps out at you!

Thanks for the pop info. For some reason I couldn't find N29's in the pop report. Where are they listed?

I think you have to go on PSA's site to find it. It won't appear in the SMR.

Hi Damian,
I apologize if my post sounded a little harsh. Enjoy the card as it has great eye appeal. I know I have overpaid for cards I wanted too.
I just didn't want you to somehow think that the card was scarce with no others graded.

As there are other subjects besides baseball players in the N29s, psa lumps them into their misc. sets. Search under that on their website and you can see the complete grading breakdown for the set.

Again I hope you are happy with the card because in the end that's the only thing that matters.
