Default 1866 E.S. Sterry & Co. First Known Baseball Cards SGC - $250,000.00

Posted By: Rhys

These cards have been cataloged for years and sold for about 10% of the asking price through Lew Lipsett a few years back and are listed in the SCD guidebook. CDV's are "cards" with their own niche, however unless they were produced in conjunction with a product (like Peck and Snyder cards) than they really are nothing more than Studio Cabinet cards with a more Baseball card sized shape. Dont get me wrong, they are really cool, but you would be hard pressed to find many people who agree they are the first baseball cards because if you are going to go down the road of CDV's being cards, there are earlier CDV's picturing baseball players than these. As for the asking price, I think inflation should catch up to the price in about 2056 unless we keep pumping out economic stimulous checks and in that case it might be closer to 2021.
