T206 Johnson portrait - closed $2K+
 

Posted By: <b>steve</b><p>Last night on ebay, a T206 Johnson portrait PSA 5. Jeesh, so this is now a $2K+ card in a nice EX 5 grade - wow! I was going to make a push up to $1800. Cashing in the year long change cup won't help much anymore.<br /><br />Good to see prices still on the rise. Bummer to see prices still on the rise.<br /><br />Steve.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Steve, the 6 has recently gone over 4K! And be thankful you weren't the <u>Memory Lane</u> bidder in November of 05 who, according to vintagecardprices.com, paid $2546 for the PSA 5 version.

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>Is Johnson's card catching up to Ty Cobb's in value?<br /><br />And where does that leave Matty and Cy? Falling behind?<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Steve f</b><p>If it was to be... Would the consensus put Honus at 1 or 2?

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>I would put Honus at number 2...<br /><br />Cobb should stand alone at # 1

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>It really seems like the T206 Evers portrait has been increasing in sales lately...seems it would be higher on the list.

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>ummm, well Evers' portrait card is "on the rise" only because it is one of the tuffer portraits to acquire (see Ted Z's post), and NOT because he is becoming a more loved HOFer...

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p>And I guess the thought is Jimmy Collins would also fit in at #20.

Posted By: <b>Dylan</b><p>The list does need to take in account differences in poses. While the Mathewson and Johnson portraits perform extremely well, the Cy Young action poses coninue to sell for a premium over both Mathewson and Johnsons action poses. And the above mention of Evers portrait has a lot more to do with rarity then popularity. Lajoie's portrait is starting to get up there in price too now days. <br />Edited to add- I was looking through VCP and the last Collins in SGC 40 sold for nearly 130.00. Thats stronger then a lot of the others at the lower end of the list Dave

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>please note-<br /><br />just to clarify, Jay's list above was put together by him, as a personal ranking based on desirability & toughness for T3 HOFers...<br /><br />i was merely using this list as a jump-off point for the discussion of T206 HOFers. obviously T206 has many different HOF poses (some tuffer than others). <br /><br />but i do feel this list can be used as a basic "guide" for ranking the desirability of vintage HOFer cards.
