1939 Ted Williams Play Ball PSA 8 rookie Heritage auctions

[Jdoggs]

The 1939 Ted Williams Play Ball PSA 8 rookie is at $21,510 currently in heritage auctions with a couple of days to go. I think this is the next card to explode upward in value as he is the greatest hitter of all time!

I agree that Ted could go up. That being said, that series lacked some aesthetic appeal that sometimes helps launch a card into the stratosphere. At least that's my opinion .

agreed...I think Black and White issues are not as well liked.

I think Goudey Ruth's are starting to rise and will continue to do so. 54 Aarons in an 8 have been hot. Still probably a good buy. I could see the 48 leaf Robinson and Paige really take off next, but the Paige might be too rare to do so, same with the 25 Gehrig. The others are probably right about black and white cards not being as popular but I like my Williams and think it and the Gehrig are under valued and appreciated.

It has already exploded. A friend sold a psa 9 privately for around 250k after the national last year.

Watch what the next strong 1952 Bowman Mickey Mantle goes for. It will widen eyes. Lots of auctions this season and barely any of those on the market. That's where my money is. His RC and almost all Topps issues are still exploding and always lead any market charge. The 1952 Bowman is on deck and has been kind of a sleeper because of how few ever hit market over grade 5 I would say.

Nolan Ryan RC in the PSA 8 grade. The gap to the PSA 9 grade price is so large and the 8s will narrow it.

PSA 9 Brett RC is also heading to 5k and up in a year. The 10 in Heritage is almost 40k and has really ugly look to it.

Goudey Ruth yellow. Any grade.

Ted is a legend but his RC is not as well known or liked as his many other issues. It will rise with all other key cards but if I can buy just one card I am buying the Mantle over the Williams in grade 6 and higher.

the Aaron 7s are also going up a ton ..in the 7000s now isnt uncommon for them

If the '52 Bowman Mickey takes off, then high grade Willies are soon to follow and maybe the old race issue for the valuation of Mantle cards over Mays cards is beginning, or already has begun, to change.

considering what the card is yes, it has room to move up in the mid grades. i think a little b&w in a colorful collection looks nice. Love the pose on the card as a young Ted. Love mine

Agree with you and I think the Ted Williams Play Ball rookie is undervalued.
Percentage wise the ted williams Play Ball rookie in PSA 8 could easily double or triple in value over the next year and match the 54 aaron PSA 8 in value or exceed it.

How do you spell manipulation?

The non sticker 86 Fleer Jordan went from 20k to 30k in less than a month it seems, and was in the 10-15k range not long ago, maybe 12-18 months.

The 55 Clemente went from 30 to 60 in less than a year in PSA 8 and was at 15 less than 2 years ago.

If it's the same group manipulating alot of the cards that have been run up it would be nice to know what's next.

What would be nicer is if it stopped. Price manipulation has massive repercussions to those who are not part of the group--which is 99.99999% of us. Everyone was up in arms over the isolated shill bidding at Mastro that they all claimed established new price points for those items shilled. This goes far beyond that.
