t206 prices at Memory Lane--your thoughts

[GregMitch34]

Always curious what people think after a big auction when prices seem to spike on one issue or another.....Certain PSA 6s seem to be greatly value, including uptick in SLs....and what I consider a trend for premiums on nicely centered cards also continues.... but what do I know?

The Wagner sold for 54.5k less than it did 5 years ago. Maybe people are looking at the card and not the flip, or centering is becoming on issue for increasing or decreasing prices.

Good call. Some of the mid-tier to rare backs did ok and some did great. Not sure who the big bidders are but its been a couple of years since these backs have been moving in this direction. The centered cards regardless of grade should always carry a premium in my opinion.

My quick impression were the magiewent high! The Cobbs seem priced appropriately. I just quickly scanned the auction and a lot of cards look suspect in grading to me.

Very bullish market for T206s, especially nice one. Buy and hold rating.

Pete, I didn't think the price on the Magie was out of line. There are 129 Magie's in the PSA and SGC pop reports (although I'm sure there are several crossovers and re-subs) with
only four 5's and three higher (one each at 6,7 and 8). The last 5 on VCP that sold was an SGC three years ago for $31,460 and the ML (On the left) is a much stronger 5 in my opinion.

Neither looks like a 5, what does a PSA 4 sell for?

Bill, wonder what card you thought was doctored....

My bad. The PSA 5 Howard just had a really bad corner. It went for cheap. I forgot which card I was looking at. But almost looked like there white out on two of the corners. Could have been a bad photo. Didn't mean to accuse PSA

I agree on the SL's. Maybe high grades don't show up in auctions to often? Someone must have been using the "Top All Bid" feature. I would bid and would get outbid exactly 5 min later each time so I gave up. Someone wanted them more than I did that's for sure. Except for one PSA card that went for cheap. Looked doctored to me.
