The Lelands 2019 Winter Classic Auction is Here

[Exhibitman]

Some interesting results. I didn't win anything.

T206 Old Mill Crawford SGC 5 $2,075. Did this seem reasonable?

T206 Young Portrait PSA 6: Piedmont 350 $11,816.00. Last 6 that PSA says was sold was in March 2017 for about half of what this one brought. Until this sale the 150s and 350s were pretty much in line. Should we now assume a 150 would sell in the $10K range if it comes up?

I watched prices on boxing cards. A few caught my eye:

--#1 PSA registry T218 set $26,870.00. This one blows my mind. I guess the registry works...

--R427 1950s Joe Palooka set of 12 $1,886.00. Tough set, so it is gratifying to see bidders pay a premium for it in complete form.

--1927 Fro Joy Tunney set of 6 $660.00. $110 a card is solid.

--The sleeper of the group IMO was an uncut strip of 3 N150 Honest Long Cut cards with two John L. Sullivan cards. Went for only $770. It is one of the few 19th century uncut boxing card pieces in existence.

What about that 1966 Bobby Orr USA Test RC in PSA 9? Over $200,000. I guess I can forget about that card!

Or the PSA 2 1952 Topps Mantle that went for over $22K. I haven't been paying attention...has that been the going rate?

I also noticed that lower grade Mantle and Mays cards had prices I thought were high:

1951 Bowman Mantle PSA 2.5 $4,141.00
1951 Bowman Mays PSA 2 $1,417.00
1952 Topps Mays PSA 2 and 1953 Mays PSA 4 $2,659.00
1953 Topps Mantle PSA 4 $2,671.00
