Anyone want to guess the reserve?
Will it top the $40k mentioned here?

This auction has some tremendous items.I have been following the preview for several weeks.

great memorabilia, but where are all the cards?

Very poor selection for card collectors in the preview.
Anyone hear what cards are going to be in Legendary's live auction?

guessing more high-end memorabilia and a few nice complete sets if it's anything like years past. I'll be there, should be fun.

Free food and drinks I'm assuming!

duh

Matt, I still have my doubts that ANY of the bids on that Earl Smith the first time around were legit. There is absolutely no precedent for that card to garner even a fraction of the price. Who decided this was an important card? It isn't even 100% confirmed to be an actual shortprint or anything (at least nobody has provided proof that I have seen).

really?
 

Really?

really what?

free food...
 

I think there was a mandatory $75 donation at the Legendary Auction last year, no? I guess the food and drinks were in fact free though....

ah, thought that was optional... whoops!

I'll be attending the n54 dinner that night anyway, but would like to head over to the auction as well if it's close.

Rhett - I agree with you 100%. After that last one, I assumed everyone got the message about the card's value and we wouldn't see that again.

As with any item the market will determine what the value of this card is. This time the card is being offered with no reserve.

Has there been anything at all to support the idea that this card is tougher then any other Harrington? SGC shows a pop of 4 of the Earl Smith (Green) which actually makes it more then almost any other card in the set - most have SGC pops between 1-3.

no
 

I have never seen anything that supports the Smith being any tougher than any other cards. As for the reason he has some cards that are greenish, is unknown to me. I would guess someone ran a sheet with him on it through the green presses. :) I am just guessing, of course. I hope the card goes for the all the money for the consignor. I have an interest up to about 5% of what someone thought it would bring before.....

Sold for: $5,975.00

incredible.

one bid
