With all due respect to all Tribute card collectors.
 

The 1931 Harrison Studio PC ... hands down.

The Gibson RPPC has sold twice in the past 3 years for over $50K both times. Unfortunately, this makes it out of the reach of probably about 95% of us, including mysef. For non-autograph collectors, the fact that it was also signed by Gibson probably accounts for much of the card's value and makes paying that kind of price very difficult to swallow.

Let's just make a slight adjustment ... let's make that 99%, and that would include me. :)

Not only that, he signed it twice ... something that couldn't be done with his tribute card.

The tribute card is nice, and a collectable, but it doesn't have the historical vintage baseball connection that an unsigned 1931 Harrison Studio PC would have.

Peter,the reason a big auction house would not take the trouble to grade a big ticket card is probably due to the philosophy once imparted to me by the infamous Doug Allen: "We didn't grade the better condition cards in your lot because sometimes we get more bidding interest on raw cards." Ah,those old Mastronet days.

Or if perhaps the big ticket item had glue on the back, got a bad grade, then cracked out and sold raw, then sent to a different grading company which gave it a NM grade.

Heh.
