Dave YokenThe first two lots of Caramels and T205s sold for close to $6,000 each lot.
The starting bid was $1,000 each, but I looked over the cards very carefully on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning while I was there. The Wagner E95 had some tough paper loss on the front, the Cobb had a cellophane corner that had adhered to the bottom right corner and the Mathewson T205 had a signficant crease on the bottom front. The cards were generally in decent shape VG+ - EX...And yes, some of the cellophane corners came off, but it looked like in many cases they stuck to the cards because of years of humidity. The Wagner's corner stuck, and when it was pulled off, that tough paper loss resulted.
The 39 Sweet Caporal Domino Discs went for $475.
The Goudey Boy Scout cards went for $400.
The C55 Hockey cards sold for $3,200, although they were all pasted down on a white page,
and their backs had serious glue residue on them.
I bought a lot of 36 Mecca/Hassan Champion Athletes and Prize Fighter cards, and am trying to figure out where I can find any more info on these cards. Any advice?
Thanks!
