Legendary Auction Preview

[bcbgcbrcb]

Surprised that nobody has mentioned the online preview is now up, auction begins in one week.

All I can say is WOW!!!

[sycks22]

There were about 50 items that I'm interested in. Pretty amazing stuff in there including the Brunner's Cobb in a PSA 4.5.

WOW is right...lots of interesting stuff you don't see every day...this may be shocking to my savings account!!!!

Not sure if anyone from Legendary still reads the board, but the Sweet Caporal pack being described as "Circa 1910s" is most certainly not. It's actually closer to 1920-25 (and at least 1918 based on the tax stamp).

So, a description that reads "we can only assume that a trading card is safely entombed inside as well, though whether it pictures a bird, fish, flag or baseball player is anyone’s guess" is very misleading.

Not trying to single Legendary out here, but they didn't do any diligence on this lot. I'd also be happy to scan the appropriate pages from Springer's Cinderella Stamps guide if they would like verification of tax stamp date.

When I describe something as "circa 1910s" 1918 certainly fits into that time frame. Any where between 1910 - 1919 is acceptable.

Maybe - but that, combined with a description that states "we can only assume that a trading card is safely entombed inside as well, though whether it pictures a bird, fish, flag or baseball player is anyone’s guess" certainly seems misleading to me.

I guess everyone may be entitled to his or her own opinion, but the way I read it, there is a high likelihood of SOME card being inside, when actually, that probability is pretty low.

Was it actually owned by the HOF or did someone loan it to them?

[bcbgcbrcb]

Is it just me or does the Zeenut DiMaggio look like possibly a reprint card? It looks exceptionally clean for a Zeenut card. Also, wouldn't you think that PSA would at least identify the card being that it is a major HOF Pre-Rookie worth thousands of dollars by itself in that condition if it's an original?

I think that Zeenut DiMaggio is originally from Halper's collection

I bought a graded signed DiMaggio Zeenut without coupon and then sold it to a board member (at least he used to be a board member) through EBay. Neither when buying or selling do I think it went for much of a premium, if any.

There was a minute there when I was actually high bidder on a Cobb with Ty Cobb back

...minute's over.

I felt good being the opening bidder, but like you said it lasted 18 seconds.

Noooo I missed the time to get in, one more hour behind in Hawaii the I thought.
