R309-2 Greenberg

[Iron Horse]

Tried looking up as to what fair price would be for an Ex example, but can't find anything anywhere in past auctions... Anyone know how scarce this issue is and know of any recent or past sales?
I found a picture of one BVG graded example of Greenberg, but that is it.
Appreciate your input guys.

Several board members have one I believe. It's a tough set with what seems to be little demand. VCP does not list it. I paid several hundred dollars for mine.

$1000 for an Ex is too high

IMO, yes w/o a doubt. I think you can beat that but they don't come up that often.

There is one on ebay for $1300 but $1000 is his bottom line. Appreciate the input and i will wait for one at the right price.
Thanks again

Just to put it in perspective, you could be waiting years to see another R309-2 Greenberg in EX condition. I have definitely paid premiums, more times than I can count, to get a card I want. I would guess many on this board have too. If Greenberg was the last card I needed in the set, and the rest of the set I had was already EX, I could see me ponying up for it at that price. However, it is a bit of a high price to pay under ordinary circumstances.

You may wait awhile. They are very tough cards. I've had an Ott that I have tried to sell off and on for years. Great player, 500 HR club, HOF, ya ya ya. Had it priced as low as $250 at one time, no bites. Greenberg has a much greater following than Ott though. I built a set one at a time and it took a long time to find them all. The seller of that one btw is a good guy and may be more attuned to the market than I.

Like Jeff says, rare but not a lot of demand. They are condition sensitive, that is for sure. I would venture to guess an ex one would be in the 400-600 range, but I am not sure collectors of that set would care as much about the grade as collectors of some other sets. I paid around 265 for this one, I think...
