Importance of Provenance
I'm curious what the board thinks of the importance of provenance in cards?
In art, itself the difference between a Jackson Pollock in the tens of millions or a maybe Jackson Pollock and the tens of hundreds. But in art, pieces are generally 1 of 1's and not publicly distributed like how the history of cards were. Does it matter (other than cool factor) if a card has been held in a grandad's attic for 100 years or if it was from an unknown history, since most cards are "authenticated" these days. If provenance is important for certain cases, than curious what kind of premium is warranted? If you look at the black swamp for example, that is great provenance, but no one seems to care because of the supply side issue of the find. Absolute waste of time post but just a different angle in our hobby I was curious about. (P.S. Memorabilia completely different case, because of the personal nature of an auto and forgeries in the industry, but does it hold weight in cards?) Last edited by joshuanip; 01-28-2018 at 10:18 AM. |
