Brizzolara Collection / T206 Player Autos / Hunt Auctions

[T206Collector]

Did anyone win any of the signed album pages from this collection in Hunt’s auction this week?



The fact that the Hal Chase auto sold for $14,000 is remarkable. Most of the other lots were very reasonable, I thought. There were about 75 T206 subjects in the collection, some extraordinarily rare. I came away with 16 of them (not Chase). Would love to know if anyone else landed any?

Two bidders who had no idea what that Chase is realistically worth, with money being no object. Strange. I can't wait for everybody and their brother to try to cite this as some sort of vaulation point for every Chase being offered subsequently. If anybody stumbles upon this thread while doing research on the subject: don't think for a minute that this is an accurate valuation for such a piece. This was a lark, and the consignor should thank their lucky stars.

I felt that several went for more than they were worth, but Chase and Willis took the cake for "huh?" factor.

Eddie Collins ($1150 + 17.5%) & Eddie Cicotte ($800 + 17.5%)? If you don't need the silly slabs or an LOA to tell you something is authentic, they're $375 pieces all day long, and not easy sells at that. Not to mention that nicer examples can be found. Just two of several I could cite. I was in disbelief.

I haven't seen an Eddie Collins autograph for $300 to $400 for a while, where are you getting your prices from?

Not sure if this fits within your timeframe, but I purchased a Collins signed cut from a check with a full JSA letter about 1.5 years ago for $335...and thought I over paid.

3 years ago I got a contract with two of his sigs for 360.

Some cool stuff. I got Reggie, Kirby and Musial. Also a few lots of 60’s and 70’s HOFers.

The price of the Victor Willis was insane!
Wow, that sold for a lot more then I'm sure anyone expected...

I was essentially on the sidelines as a watcher, but an unbelievable collection of beautiful album pages. I don't believe that we will see another collection like this any time soon. Single signatures, signed big with vintage fountain pen.
IMHO, it doesn't get any better than this!

I was fortunate to buy a Satchel Paige AP from this Brizzolara collection perhaps 5 years ago that I believe is superior to the one offered.

I agree Chase and Collins were high. Chase maybe 10x too high. Collins maybe twice as high as it should have been.

Walsh for $350 was a great deal. There were plenty of other deals as well.

I also agree that this kind of find is extraordinarily rare. If another one ever appears I think it will be quite some time from now.

Wow on the Neighbors! For the general big-time collector, is a page or 3x5 more or less desirable than a document like this?

Thanks,
Ken

That's a pretty serious price on the Quinn. I have Quinn on a WWII team signed baseball. (Actually also have him on a WWII Navy All-Star Game-Used baseball)
