FS: 1869 Peck & Snyder Cincinnati Red Stockings card
Hello everyone. This is my first post on Net54! I wanted to reach out to this community about my recent acquisition. I have been a member of Blowout Cards for several years and you can see my positive feedback there (as well as a link to my eBay ID.) I recently won this card from a TRISTAR contest. Although I would love to keep the card, I need the wedding/house funds so I am advertising the card here (and to a few interested buyers) before I go down the road of auction/consignment. You can view the story behind this card at http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/b...card-real.html.
SOLD! http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/...kingsfront.jpg http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/...526784_iOS.jpg |
Good luck

GREAT story!
You've come to the right place if you're looking for a buyer. If you don't get one here in the next few weeks/days/hours, I would strongly recommend one of the reputable Auction Houses. They would likely offer you quite a sweet deal (% of the hammer price) to have that card in their auction! It's an automatic marketing gold-mine for the Auction House, so you're doing them (and yourself) a favor by getting that card in front of as many people as you can. Best of luck with the sale!

Quite the first post! Good luck with the sale.

Nice card!
Don't waste your money on a house or a wedding. Keep the card.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I'm currently debating pursuing an eBay consignment seller versus pursuing an auction house. eBay will obviously have a the largest audience, but the auction house will certainly have the right audience so I'm still exploring my options. Any suggestions for particular auction houses?
I am still discussing taxes with my lawyer, so I'd rather not speak about it just yet :) |
For eBay PWCC and Invest in Baseball are both great options. Other than that take a look at the many auction banners here on Net54. REA, Goodwin, Heritage, Brockelman, etc... That card would be best at one of the auction houses rather than eBay IMHO.

That's a really cool story. I purchased a similar box where you can get one of the rare cards and entered in the drawing, but the grand prize is a 1940 play ball joe jackson. Not quite on this level. Still waiting to find out if I won, but not holding my breath.
Congrats and good luck with the sale. |
Great Story!

By the way, a good friend of mine, and someone who has studied these more than most, pointed out this is not a Peck and Snyder card (duh). It has no ad on it. These photos were distributed different ways but this is not a Peck and Snyder card. IT is 1869 (as far as we know) and the value shouldn't be affected. But the label is incorrect.
