Johnson portrait SGC 1.5 $3360

It really is the big names. Prices on run of the mill T206 HOFers were mostly run of the mill.

I am happy with this. I agree Cobb seemed very strong. So did that red Goudey Ruth.

Congratulations! I gave that one a long look. Beautiful pickup!

$7,800 for a PSA 2 Bat off is an impressive price.

How much should pricing on T206 Cobb's trail '33 Goudey Ruth's? I know they most likely won't surpass them. But what kind of gap should we expect?

Congrats! I was back and forth over that one too!

Thanks, I was back and forth with someone in extended bidding a few times. With his signed RC really taking off i figured this was a nice alternative. And i prefer the color image.

I was on the signed rookie too and thought the same thing,,, Agree on the color image too.

That PSA 2.5 Johnson portrait looked absolutely gorgeous...makes me wonder if something was hidden by the scan, because I don't understand what made that a 2.5.

[BuzzD]

Picked up Famous and Barr Dashing Dan Costello to check a box on obscure NYAL. He had 2 PH appearances in 1913 and I have never seen a uni image. Felt like I went way too high on this but...

[jayshum]

Ruth prices have definitely increased. I picked up this 1935 Goudey Ruth 5A back to finish my master set. Another SGC 5 that I missed out on went for about half the price back in November.

[T206Collector]

Finally got my Shaughnessy. Given the market for these, I’m shocked I got it for under $500. Yeah, it’s a 1.5 but it presents nicely in the context of my collection.

I can't wait to see what Cobb's are going to be in their April Auction!

[fkm_bky]

Happy with this pickup and price, while a bit high I actually like the writing on the back. Tried for several others with the same "position" written on the back, but came up short on the others. Looking forward to the next one!

Gee, wonder what auction had that...

Sure, rub it in, Scott. If only you had told me back then that prices would go this crazy, I would have bid higher in your auction.

Trust me I feel a different version of your pain. I thought we got killer prices at that auction only to feel, a few short months later, that we had a fire sale!

Agreed, and I disagree with Adam's comment re T206 HOFers going for run of the mill prices. There were many mid-tier HOFers who had crazy prices compared to historic - Evers, Keeler, Tinker, Chance, Brown, Joss, Jennings, Bender, Waddell, Walsh. It seems that currently, even the lesser HOFers are worth about $100/grade-number, with only a few exceptions (e.g., Huggins, Griffith, Wallace)

Well, let's just look at the T206 results:

Chance red portait $240
Chance yellow portrait $240
Evers Chi $216
Tinker hands on knees $216
Wallace portait $84, $54
McGraw hip $216
McGraw sweater $228
Bresnahan port $144
Breshahan bat $108, $66
Huggins mouth $204
Huggins portrait $114, $192
Jennings portrait $216
Crawford throw $228
Crawford bat $240
Marquard thighs $204, $108
Marquard port $270
Bender no trees $132
Bender trees $168
Bender port $216, $270
Beckley port $204
Baker $204 (twice) $216

Even Matty: a dark cap 1 sold for $540

I am not saying that prices were weak or bad, just that they were average for average cards. Don't get me wrong, I hope that my T206 collection continues to appreciate wildly; daddy needs a retirement plan. Just that the noise over some spectacular prices on some superstars does not translate to spectacular prices on everything.

That was a nice Keeler, had a cup of coffee early with him but bowed out when it was down to a couple guys who had to have it.
