Update on The Rudy Strejc Collection

[ullmandds]

wow...nice collection!!!!! And a bunch more e98's for the market!!!!

Sell it through Rick Probstein rather than liquidating it to someone that needs to resell. You will get more in the end because you pay commission rather than sacrifice money to a reseller.

Shame about the trimming.

Aside from the trimming, I see that the T206's range widely in condition.
I wonder what they'll sell for in comparison to untrimmed cards of the same condition. I have my own thoughts but to be discreet I won't hazard any guesses, nor do I care to make any offers.

I will be following this thread with interest, though, and looking forward to your price list.

Good luck!

@Peter: Yes, more E98! Fortunately mine are in such bad shape that I won't have to deal with the nasty taxes that the poor family with the Black Swamp cards will have to pay.

I've received many requests, and it's becoming clear which of the cards are desirable (HOF of course).

In retrospect, I should have had my pricing established before I made the announcement. It's a bit overwhelming for me and I'm trying to do the right thing for everyone.

Regarding the E98: There is a lot of interest in those cards, and I've decided that I'll send them for grading before moving forward with sales.

Sorry for the confusion and I sincerely apologize to everyone for not having the pricing established!

Indeed, the trimming is quite a conundrum. It's pretty clear that the "alteration" was not done to enhance the cards, so it's not "trimming" in the traditional sense of the hobby (as I understand it).

Fortunately, many of the Obaks are not trimmed, but they also have a lot more spindle holes which is just as bad.
