Andrew S.<is it possible the buyers intent is to get them graded and possibly make a bigger profit than what was paid ? does getting a complete set graded insure the raise in value ? will it create a higher demand ?
JP,
Not sure about higher demand, but the purchaser will likely get them all graded. Although, it would probably take quite some time to realize a profit after paying such a high price. They might have to sit on those sets for years before selling. From what I was told, both sets come belonged to an early 20th century collector. The collection flew under the radar until recently and was supposed to have been even larger than Jefferson Burdick's (which I find hard to believe). Didn't Burdick have nearly one million cards?
