Actually I have some Lionel Carter & Frank Nagy cards that are trimmed.
Here's a trimmed T207 that Mr Carter owned.

The prize card of my collection can be traced back to hobby pioneer Edward Wharton Tigar. That provenance in and of itself makes it exceptionally cool, a card for which I would pay a premium.

There have been examples of premiums paid for provenance. For example, I believe the 1952 Topps card that was owned by Mickey Mantle (from the Dreier collection) is one such example. All 1952 Mantles have a certain cache to them -- but one owned by Mantle has been demonstrated by the market to be worth a significant premium.

I have many t206s from the harris collection. Don't recall paying a premium on any of them.

My one and only LC. No premium paid - maybe 10%. But neat to own one. Also was able to get one of those 'Feller Owned' - I put more premium on that being a Feller collector.

I think a small premium (10-20%) is appropriate for a pedigree card. After all, if you had a choice between the pedigreed card and the non-pedigreed card, in same condition and same price, you'd pick the pedigree card every time, no?

My only pedigreed card:

Thanks,

Depends who's pedigree is on the card.
As a collector of pedigreed cards, I won't pay a premium on some collectors who wanted their name on the card.
Be it Mr. X, Harris, Rothman, Pollard, Hull etc...
But hobby pioneers, that's a different story, I will pay a premium for Lionel Carter, Jefferson Burdick, Buck Barker, Frank Nagy, Sir E.W. Tigar etc..
I would also pay a premium for baseball players own personal cards.

Yeah, but how MUCH of a premium would you pay for a Lionel Carter?
