Slabbing OBAKs?

Posted By: Jeff Obermeyer

While I don't have any of my Obaks "professionally" graded, I can recall seeing a few on eBay a while back... I think they were done by PSA, but I could be wrong. I have also seen a couple of the 1911's in Mastro auctions that were PSA graded.

The thing that hurts the value of Obaks the most is the lack of interest. They are considerably more difficult than a lot of more expensive issues (T206, T205, T207 in particular), but other than Gandil and Weaver there are no "stars". The only other cards that seem to really carry a premium are Peckinpaugh, Bodie and Ten Million (due to his name, I'm sure).

I really don't think that it's worth the money to grade Obaks unless it's Weaver or Gandil (and maybe Peckinpaugh). I just don't see you being able to get that much more for them, unless you receive a really high grade.

Jeff
