What is "Biggest" Card that has changed hands here on Net54?
The thought struck me very recently, and I had to ask. We see some absolute gems posted on the forum all the time for sale. Rare issues, rare backs, pre-war, post war, so many incredible cards grace the forum with their presence, for sale. That being said, what would many of you consider to be the "biggest" card in terms of value or rarity that has changed hands, here on Net54? I've seen 1952 Topps Mantle's listed, but that card is pretty common, and readily available assuming you have the money for it. Looking forward to the posts to follow and as a bonus if you could link the thread where the card was sold, please do.

Nothing special for me. The biggest 2 are a T206 Red Cobb and a 1952 Topps Eddie Mathews rookie. They both come from fellow members and both went to fellow members.

I've mentioned this one recently, but the one that keeps haunting me is when I tried to sell a 1958 Pele Alifabolaget PSA 9 soccer card on here around 2014-15 for $5,000. Not even a nibble. I ended up selling it elsewhere and got the $5,000 price, which I was told was the highest price ever for a soccer card at the time.
It resold a few times in the years that followed, jumping exponentially each time. Last sale was a year ago, for $1.3M. Ouch. And ouch to all of you who were around then, for missing the boat when I posted it 8-9 years ago! |

Yikes!
I am not sure the biggest/most expensive card I bought or sold off BST (done plenty of $20k+ deals as buyer and seller), but I have done huge deals privately with people I met on net54, including buying a t206 Wagner and Doyle from a board member. That said, assuming you mean specifically a deal posted on BST, I have no doubt there have been a couple 6 figure deals, but I doubt seven figures on BST. I feel 5 figure deals are common place now (several per month), and I don’t know what can be bought for less than 4 figures nowadays, on BST or anywhere else. Recently I sold several t206 brown old mills for $22k per card. |

I’m pretty sure Hal’s Wagner changed hands indirectly here.
Leon might chime in on this. |
