Dog's Head and Old Judge Cabinet value?

[nberger9]

Hi,

I have a Dog's Head and Old Judge Cabinet card. I'm just curious as to the rough value of it. I know it depends upon the player and the condition. It is an N173 SGC 2.5 John Ward. I also have a "regular" Old Judge Cabinet N173 of California Brown in SGC 2.5

Just looking for a rough indication of value.

Thanks!

Neal

That's about a $10,000 card you're describing.

A Dogs Head cabinet will trade at a premium to a regular N173 because it is scarcer. How much above will depend on how the cabinet looks relative to a typical Ward cabinet. It would help if you posted an image. The grade means relatively little because in their infinite wisdom grading companies do not take photo quality into account when assigning grades and to most collectors that is the most important thing.

Is it
478-3b John Ward (Cap in R/hand at side-L/hand on hip-Dogs Head)

No recorded sales in VCP but there are for 4 other cards of Ward

Are we all sure this isn’t an “Ahoy mate I just found one of these in my father’s garage” situation? We shall see….

Bobby--other than the portrait pose which is rare as a cabinet all the other poses sell for about the same amount so knowing the pose will not help valuing the card. Image quality and damage if any will determine value.

I just had a great chat with the OP (Neal). I can safely say he is a serious collector and is going to be a great addition to the community. I expect to see him in various sections of the forum too.
