Opinion on value - 1949 Leaf Jackie Robinson
 

Much like myself, this one is not much to look at, but I wanted to get the board's opinion of a valuation of it. I picked it up during the craziness, thinking that I might move my other Jackie, but that never happened and I am trying to figure out what to do with him. Any thoughts on values are appreciated. Thanks!

How does the back look? Not sure that it will add a lot of value, but if there are enough defects, it might influence the value.

It’s clean, no paper loss, just the creases.

I’d say 4-4.5 on the high end

I guess since you are welcoming any thoughts, regardless of validity, I’ll posit that this could be $4k-$6k, give or take? There have been times somewhat recently when somewhat similar graded examples have sold for more, although this one seems to be a little rougher in terms of condition.

Certainly there are a handful of items available now with similar condition that are right around that level, although the fact that they’re still available suggests that they might be priced at retail or even high retail prices.

Thanks Matt, I’d be thrilled with that.

Thanks Nicolo, open to all thoughts, I mean it’s centered for the most part?!

I know this is anathema to many around here, but if you crossed it over to a PSA holder, you might get more than if you keep it in the current holder.

I thought about that, but I was worried that it would drop to an authentic in a PSA slab. I bought it graded, wouldn't have purchased this one raw.

here is the back scan for those asking:

I would value it around $4500, and would consider you fortunate if you were able to get $5k for it.

Thanks Travis, I would be happy at that level for sure. Basically, I wanted to get a consensus that I didn't overpay for it. From what everyone is saying, I think I did well.
