REA T206 auction ending tonite............

[vthobby]

I just noticed something interesting and confusing. The SGC 8 Walter Hands at Chest in the REA auction is also double protected in a penny sleeve much like Beckett does. I can't find another card in the auction that got this "White Glove Penny Sleeve" treatment! lol

Honestly, I like it and wish they did this for all cards they slab!

Peace, Mike

I recognized the Jack Pollard name that these T206 cards came from as the same collector who had an awesome tip-top shape collection of Obaks that was auctioned off about 8-10 years ago. According to REA, it sounds like they will have more from his collection this upcoming year.

I bid on 4 cards and was shut out. But I have many fond memories of Mr Pollard who was happy to share his knowledge of all things related to rare and obscure Baseball cards especially tobacco issues.
I bought many odd type cards from him and the talked my Dad into a 1940 Playbal set that we picked up from him at the First Philly show ( Spring Garden college). I do hope that whoever grades the rest of his collection notes on the flips the cards came from his collection. He Deserves the recognition.

That's a beauty. I got a few things...nothing earth shattering but a Joss and 2 Black Sox for my burgeoning T206 collection.

I did not win this one... .but curious on what you all think. If you covered the grades, and put this in a pile of PSA 5s, I'd take this one all day. However, another user suggested to me this was only worth $3k.

We talk about 'buying the card'. With 3s and 4s now going in the $4-$5k range, are you going to tell me that rounded, fuzzy corners and surface wear are preferable to barely noticeable pin holes?

$6600 was the steal of the draft imo.

How does that thing end up as a "2"?

What am I missing?

my understanding is that technical grading rules requires a pin-hole to be 2 at best. pin holes are not designated "A" by any of the TPGs.

Mike, I noticed that on several other cards in the auction...I think some of the common 8's had it too.

(Overall, some really strong prices, especially the rare backs).
