m101 Sisler

[tonyo]

For all you folks who understand M101's........why did this blank backed Sisler finish so high?

I don't think that's high at all - The M101-5 Sisler is his rookie card (which is noted in the description).

Oh I see, I did not know that! Thanks for the info.

My only pricing reference is 2011 SCD and past ebay sales. SCD had him at $90 in VG same as most other hofers.

I was ready to go as high as $60 or $70


edit to add: Oh and I guess I skimmed over the part about it being his rookie card. I don't put a whole lot of stock in what the description says anyway

Actually, I only show one ebay sale for that card in the past three years-- a PSA 3 sold last year for $600.00. BTW, the card is a m101-4, which some may not consider his rookie card, although I personally would. The m101-5 goes for even more money, presumably because others think that the m101-5 is "more" of a rookie card than the m101-4 card issued a couple/three months later.

I got $1K for my SGC 10 Sisler blank back a few years back. It had back damage and a F-G front.

Wow......

It seems my question should've been : "why did this Sisler finish so low?"




Are "rookie" cards really that big in pre-war, or is the Sisler more scarce than other M101-4, -5's ?

I was a bidder but didnt go all in because of a recent fake I purchased that looked about the same, its the best fake of an m101 I have seen and could not even tell until I had it in hand under a loop.
