Spike in Zeenut 1911 (Brockelman tonight)
Some very hefty prices for some of these "highest graded" cards, and 3 hours to go...however, the prices are much higher than I would expect given most recent prices even for the highest graded.....Did I miss when this trend started with them? Or just the usual 2 or 3 people bidding up?

Many of those are the nicest ones in the hobby. Add to that some are extremely scarce and you have a recipe for nice realized prices. There are quite a few board members (and others) who quietly collect these.

As Leon noted, this is the break up of one of the finest 1911 Zeenut sets ever assembled, many will fetch record prices, and accordingly will not be offered for sale for many, many years as they will be deeply embedded in the collections of the new owners, many of which have spent decades assembling their 1911 Zeenut sets. A rare opportunity for those collecting the first year of the Zeenut issue.

I get that except--other "highest graded" from same issue that sold in recent years mainly fetched less than half most of these prices.

The others probably slipped under the radar for a few folks.
Tonight, everyone that is a a serious 1911 Zeenut collector is aware of them and involved. With the entire set(less Bohen) up for sale, there is somewhat of a feeding frenzy in place. Last edited by sb1; 02-11-2017 at 07:48 PM. |

Fantastic selection Scott. I copied scans of the entire group; after all, those who can--collect, and those who cannot-- collect scans I actually have a few bids in but am mostly just grateful that I got to see them all in one place at one time. Good luck to the hunters.
