1865 Brooklyn Atlantics CDV for sale

[Runscott]

I don't know, but I'm going out for a steak dinner on the money I saved by Saco not taking me up on getting the testing one.

Back in my own realm, I won this today - I'm pretty sure it's an 1865 Atlantics reunion game. I just need to find a way to get it in an SGC slab with the proper labeling, and it's steak dinners for the rest of the month.

Jay,
I still think it will go for $40-$50 K, unless, of course, none of the usual suspects bid.

Why does SGC have to approve of your photo? It's amazing.

Nice pickup Scott! I was going to bid on this and forgot to set a snipe.

The funniest thing is that the winner is a financial advisor.

As a investment for his 4 year old son. So sounds like the guy doesn't even collect baseball. Wonder what rare card they will find next in a attic or old book.

Also can anyone ever see it selling for triple this amount like he thinks when he decides to sell it?

[Matthew H]

You've gotta hand it SRA. I don't think the card would have brought 80k in any of the major sports auctions.

[Runscott]

I'm glad they found something on Net54 that they could use:

"While it is similar to the card in the Library of Congress, the card found in Maine is printed from a different negative. The two images originally could have been viewed together through a stereoscopic viewer, which created the illusion of three-dimensional depth from two-dimensional images."

[Matthew H]

This is the problem with auction hype. Now some guy spent 80k thinking it's going to triple and pay for his 4 year old's medical expenses.

[packs]

Even if it doesn't triple the 80K would be gone if it weren't tied up in the card. I don't see it selling for less. Still a good investment.

100% agree. Kudos to Troy and them for putting together a great auction.

LOL at whether she's the girlfriend or the auction model. I bet the guy drives a bright yellow Hummer.

[oldjudge]

This guy has hundreds of lots listed on Ebay now, most of it low value material. This is all very strange. Not the typical MO of someone who goes out and spends almost $100,000 on a card, and a very esoteric card at that.

I think she's the auction model. If she's the girlfriend, I would have signed up and tried to outbid him.
