1941 play ball uncut strip value?

[brian29575]

How much would this sell for? Thanks for opinions

[Leon]

I will give a SWAG (scientific wild ass guess) of value at $75-$150....if the Klein was in better shape it would be more, of course. Just a guess (it could be more) and you really will never know unless you put it in a big auction venue and see what it gets. Neat strip otherwise....

... you could just sell it to me for that $75-150, and set the market price yourself, for future generations to venerate and tout!!!!

Would this strip be considered a salesman's sample?

I have bought several strips(small parts of a sheet) over the years including a few here on Net54. Usually they sell for around the price of the players on it sold as singles or a little less. If there is a big star then they can sell for a premium.

Perhaps. But I gotta believe an Arnovich, Demaree and Jurges - commons all - on a strip is more rare than their single cards, with a definite run-up in value / price. FWIW, this is the 1st '41PB strip I've ever seen. Still would be nice to own inspite of the damage to Klein.

Definitely not a salesman sample, just an uncut strip. I'm working on a full set like this and am about 60% complete, they pop up every so often.
From my experience Leon's estimate is about right, the condition is pretty rough.


Here's mine, minus some recent additions

Absolutely way rarer. Absolutely a much more limited market. No offense to the item, but I wouldn't want it. It's a cumbersome size, the damage to the klein effects the aesthetic a lot. Of course one could frame it…but if I ever frame everything I own that is worthy of being framed, I will run out of walls before I am hardly started.

It's a good item, but a thin market, IMO. I should mention that I am wrong all the time.

[ALR-bishop]

Neat project Anthony.

[thunder835]

I was asking $250 OBO but that it not my bottom line. If anyone is interested, please feel free to shoot me an offer. Thanks for the interest and don't be shy!
