I remember hearing 38K or something on those lines from Wonka. If I remember correctly that was when the card had not made it to SGC's table yet to be slabbed. Then when it came back the seller decided to let the market determine the value.

Does anyone here, ever had any of their baseball cards in their attic in the last 10 years...

I have a few distant relatives that should be dying soon and they have old farm houses with attics. I should be loaded in the next few years.

Yes, every card from my childhood is in the attic.

Cards in the attic? Yep, a few thousand. Mostly modern, but I'd bet a few older ones snuck in.

Was notified by seller that the card will appear in the April 13th REA Auctions and will be graded.

April 13th? Their package won't have been logged in as received by then.

The seller told me.....

"Was offer 6 fig twice .but didn’t sell."

Can someone explain what that mean? If it didn't sell then that wasn't an offer.... and for 6 figures? I rather have a Ty Cobb back instead of beat up BroadLeaf 460. Knowing Jamie already completed his Ty Cobb run and I doubt we will see a bidding war in REA.

the master collectors will be interested... and there are plenty of cobb collectors who will be interested.. should be fun to watch the REA auction... will be the first time one of these has sold in auction...

Hopefully he sent it to SGC.

Cards I have submitted this year to PSA at Express or Super Express service has been logged and graded quickly.

I submitted a Goudey Ruth for reslab at the one day $50 service in person at the Chicago show this past Sunday morning and the invoice was logged on Tuesday afternoon. It will probably be reslabbed and shipped Wednesday or Thursday.

With value of the Cobb if it was graded by PSA it would have been sent in at walk through level which is same day grading.

Let’s see if it grades first.

Since the seller told me "Was offer 6 fig twice .but didn’t sell." I won't be surprised to hear "The grading company said it is authentic. but they won't grade it." LOL

It won't see any bids from me.

Totally agree Henry......he is a little to persistent about unloading this card if its already been determined it is being sent in to be graded and then sent to auction. He didn't specify to me who he was having it graded by. Just keeps asking me "What is your number to stop me from taking this to auction?"
He keeps coming back with the six figure comment. I guess I'll just set back and see what happens.

Maybe I'm wrong, and it will grade and go to REA. But this guy just seems to have a playbook for selling fakes, and everything he says seems to come right out of that playbook.

Well, it's been a week since he "submitted" the card, and I'm sure that he had to make it a one day submission.... so has anyone heard what grade the card got? :confused:

Maybe we'll just have to wait for our REA catalogues for the big reveal. :rolleyes:

Agreed--SGC still confirms one (Jamie's) on their pop report and PSA records a goose egg as of today.

You might get a reveal before that.

The seller turned down my $85k offer because he turned down a $90k offer before.

Now that would be a revelation!

I think we will see a "revealation" in the next 3 - 4.4 minutes...or maybe a little longer. :)

Maybe a little longer.

Now that would be a "revolution"..My biggest concern, whether to defrost Jiffy Pop:)

I was 3.6 minutes off and your post is the exact same time as the thread Brian just started. Small world. It will be interesting to watch in auction.

In the immortal words of the Beach Boys, "It's gunna be fun, fun, fun...."

Well, well, well... its real..:)

.

'til Daddy takes the TBird away...:)

I was thinking more along the lines of "...'til REA takes the money away."
That might be an expensive card.

I jumped the gun by one day...but I have to admit that I got it wrong. :o

Seriously? That's a pretty big gamble for the consignor. But if David Hall needs it for his master set, I suppose that it could go over $100,000.

maybe someone else will post that they offered a million dollars.

Maybe another find will occur after the sale at REA.

So I haven't seen anyone bring it up yet..so what are the thoughts on the final price on the BL460 Cobb?

what was the hammer? 50K?

I thought this card was from Uncle Bob's collection ?

REA stated : "One of these expeditions led him to a house where this card was discovered among old advertising signage and papers. We have seen instances of such impressive cards turning up in unlikely places--the Black Swamp and Lucky Seven finds come to mind. We'd love to know the reason this card ended up where it did, but that is lost to time. "

Yup, $60K with the juice.......

That was required in order for the seller to get $50k in an auction.

Damn, hope you were the winning bidder, nice savings!

I think it was a steal at $60k. An absolute iconic card of an iconic player with an exceedingly rare back. That card is a homerun and will only go up in value. I wish I had an extra $70k+ sitting around - I would have gladly bid every cent of it.

Technically yeah. I had a box of various old programs I had stowed away up in my attic for between 10-15 years. Pulled them out last summer, looked through them and noticed there were cards in a Columbus Clippers program. Looked at them and noticed one was Derek Jeter. Turns out it was a rare Jeter card that had a total population between PSA and BGS of 5. Mine made it 6 and was the 3rd 9 (2 PSA, 1 BGS). Sold it a month or two ago for $1800 cash plus $200 in trade.

Crazy that my wild attic find was my own attic and a card from 1995!
