MVSNYC"Scarcity definitely comes into play here as far as value goes. The SGC "Authentic" 1914 Boston Garter Joe Jackson in Mile High last night ended after the juice at close to $90K. If I'm not mistaken I beleive the restoration was color added to a spot on the front and back. Yes it's "Authentic" but try finding another one. Just my opinion."
Tony- i was going to use the same example...
extremely rare cards, like Boston Garters, N167's, Baltimore News, etc...still hold a substantial value, even in "A" holders because of the level of scarcity. a numerically graded example will command more, but the "A" version still holds great value, because in many cases such rarities are irreplaceable, with just a few known, etc.
