if you're implying it's odd to have multiples of this card...I say NOT if you're looking to control/manipulate the market?

I have been emailing this seller back and forth for a while based on my interest in the very first one he had up. He told me he’s selling these for a collector that has had them for many years and is very old. Told me this particular guy had multiples because it was his favorite card and thought it would be a good investment.

Looking at his past sales, he also sold a SGC 1.5

SGC 1: https://www.ebay.com/itm/334297423875
SGC 1.5: https://www.ebay.com/itm/334273832358

In the current ebay ad, he says he has a fourth Magie SGC 1 that will also be sold on ebay:

The SGC 2 ends tommorrow night, will be interesting to see where it ends with so many coming to market lately. Great opportunity to buy one now I’d think.

$18K+ someone landed a nice card..

Yeah that seems like a good price for that 2.

Probably been higher if it ended on a weekend. :rolleyes:

Yeah timing of it ending in middle of the afternoon when most people are working prob not the best selling strategy and appears it hurt the price some.

Best time to end an auction is 8pm on Sunday during football season. Bettors that have won wagers during the day feel flush and are willing to spend.

Pretty sure this has been alluded to, but here are my two cents as a newbie on these boards. The t206 set is the most popular pre-war set there is, it's fun to collect and I am absolutely floored at the ages of some people collecting it now. Even my kids are into it. I got into t206s when I was 11 or 12 in the 80s. I know all of this is anecdotal. However, given that, with only 200-250 copies there will ALWAYS be more demand than supply for this card given that it's universally understood this card constitutes one of the 524.

As for auctions and timing, I would love to see some data on auctions ending in January after many professionals receive bonuses and are flush with cash. I personally begin pulling back on spending around August.

Was watching this. Seems like a dang good price given the recent sales. I was figuring the low to mid 20's considering no creasing and what I feel is pretty deep coloring. Someone made off w/ a steal.

Anyone else notice the drop on the PSA pop report for T206s? The Magie error is now showing only 95.

Hneuman is selling his 4th and final Magie sgc1 today. Almost at its peak compared to the other sale he had.

Warning!!!! Despite his past pics of sales are being used/hacked on 3 other listings with hacked/scammer accounts --as mentioned in other threads here.

That was a really nice SGC 1, $12858 was stronger than the previous SGC 1 that sold just a couple weeks before. Anyone else see the PSA 2.5 that allegedly sold for $37500? It was a nice example as well.

I need some help from one of our T206 gurus. As I mentioned previously, I hold a Bud Sharpe two pp's error card, as stated on the SGC flip. Is this really any different than the far more known and expensive Magee-ie error, as in when ATC saw the original two pp's error had been issued, it was quickly pulled to correct things with the standard one p. card. I have no idea what the pop count is between the cards. Has the market ignored this rarity or do I have things wrong?

Shappe caused by broken printing plate and it wasn't a corrected card like Magie.

+1.... different types of errors.

Speaking of the Big Four.

Mile High's auction that just opened today has three of the Big Four for sale at once, don't see that too often.

A Wagner (All Star Cafe/Sheen), Plank, and Doyle NY Natl.

Those should all get strong money.

Guess I needed to keep scrolling, ha!

They also have a Magie, Demmitt StL, and O'Hara StL up for auction too.
Impressive offerings if you're looking for any of the T206 rarities.

The nice SGC 1.5 that sold on eBay in January was put up at PWCC via auction and ends tonight

Theres also a nice PSA 2 -if not for the big Zit on his eye (probstein) ending in 1 1/2 days too!

For what it’s worth that one did originally have a PWCC “Above Average” eye appeal sticker on it when it sold in their premiere auction.

That means so much, since they are always describing every card as overgraded.

Interesting note:

This week's episode (Monday) of NCIS, featured a PSA 3 Magie. It's about 33 1/2 minutes into the show.

Right now I am going for the regular, non-error card. Eventually I will snag an error for my portrait collection. Loved reading a lot of the threads on this. I am 42, and never imagined even owning a card from this set. Didn't even realize there was a set, and the Honus Wagner card was some mythical mountain out there. I think we can all agree there is a lot of interest in these cards, and older cards now, especially with my generation. I only really discovered there was an actual set after reading Eight Men Out, and looking up Sleepy Bill Burns, and seeing his card. Fortunately I have benefited from years of hard work in manufacturing, and some right place right time with real estate in Colorado to understand the struggle of collecting/bidding on what I want, having to sell due to cancer cost, and now being in a great position to build on what I want. I love this set, and trying any other set doesn't really excite me as much. This site also keeps the interest alive, and have a lot of great friends from T206. The only setback is the agreement with my wife, and she loves Amazon & Tesla stock. So.......

Non error....
 

Here is my non error I'm so glad I grabbed from REA back in 2021~

Magie 6
 

That's a beauty, Mike!!

Dang right, that card is smoking hot!!

Thanks!
 

Thanks Guys!

Mike :)

Mike!:)

Congrats, all the Magie and Magee T206's offered in REA were priced strongly.

I placed my bids on this one too!
One day (very soon) i will get my turn. :D

Congrats Jim. Personally, I think you stole that! I think its a great looking example. The crease is large, but in no way impacts the picture, and aside from that, the picture is sharp and well centered. You got a keeper IMO. Well done

Congrats Jim, that is a beautiful Magie! :)

Agreed, I was bidding on one of the Magee's and it went higher than I was willing...

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback! Glad to have one "in the club" now....now i can hope for a plank someday...but i think i will be set for now, and maybe just upgrade at some point.

Agreed!
 

Agreed! Great card Jim! Congrats and good luck to your son this summer! Vermont is the place to be and play in the summer! Can't wait to see him pitch!

Pece, Mike

I think its still a good investment...people still think of the Big Three (Wagner, Plank and Magee - not including the Doyle version which is it's own animal). I still regret passing on a nice one for less than $1K at a show back in the early 90's. You win some...lose some.
