1954 Johnston Cookies uncut sheet

Posted By: Paul Grubor

I just got a call from a person here in Wisconsin that has a 1954 Johnston Cookies uncut sheet. Has anyone ever of or seen one of these? Also, they are interested in selling the item but I'm not sure what a fair price would be.
My guess would be at least $3000.00 if the condition is em to nm or better.
Any help regarding this would surely be appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

offer to auction the item and take a %. those are pretty scarce so you don't want to over pay.

Looks like the REA auction only had a portion of a REAL UNCUT SHEET! This person has a sheet that consists of 234 cards...18 X 14. Now, What is the real uncut sheet worth?

Hi Anthony, How much more than three thousand? I really want to buy the item and pay a fair price. would an offer of six thousand be fair? Its so hard buying unique items because there's no track record.

it looks as if there would be 6 sets+ on that sheet, so if you use the REA auction as a guide, that sheet there could go for well over $25,000 at auction. the REA auction is from 2004.

The sheet appears to be 18 cards by 13 cards. Shouldn't it be 18x14? Am I missing something here?

Good catch Leslie. In comparison to the REA sheet it looks like the bottom 3 groups do not have the double print Logan to Walters row that the top 3 groups have. Thus making those 6 cards 1.5 prints instead of double prints.

Well the person that has this piece emailed me and told me they were offered $40,000.00 for the sheet back in 1977. She then added that a panel of 42 sold for $8000.00 at an auction. I emailed her back and told her good luck and God bless! I was going to offer her $8000.00 but I didn't even bother after reading her email. Oh well, guess I'll just keep buying those 50's and 60's cards. Thanks for all your help and comments.

THE t206 wagner wasn't worth $40 G in 1977.

With the next person, she'll probably claim she got an offer of $50,000 in 1967.

I remember a eager email seller trying to convince me that the 1987 Topps Mark McGwire would be the next T206 Honus Wagner, with asking price commensurate. I told him I didn't think the 1987 Topps Mark McGwire would be the next 1991 Topps Chipper Jones.
