Commy Comiskey 1887 Old Judge PSA 2 (MK)

[Matthew H]

Comiskey's Old Judge cards don't seem to be as popular as some other HOFers. There seems to be plenty of them available, by OJ standards. I also don't know of any specific Comiskey collectors, although I'm sure they're out there... He doesn't seem to be one of the more popular HOFers to collect, regardless of his contribution to the game. With that being said, the price seemed about right for a faded, not so widely collected player. It was definitely more than I would pay for that particular example.

I know the EXACT same card sold for 1050$ in 2009 same MK.

That is what I was wondering if the new buyer got a really good deal or did the previous buyer know a lot more about this player and appreciated him more...I guess the answer would most likely be yes. Any how I was wondering why such a price change on the very same card.

It's hard to judge a cards value based on a BIN. Like you've probably already read, anyone can ask whatever they want for something, and there might even be someone willing to pay that much, will it ever happen again? Who knows.

As far as the buyer just being more appreciative of Comiskey than others... I doubt it, since he no longer owns the card.

True that had not crossed my mind.

Well so seems that my brother actually purchased the card for me as a gift...I am lucky to have a brother like him!!! Looking forward to seen the card in person.

It was my ultra late Christmas gift...lolllll. I was talking to him about the card about a week ago and he decided to jump the gun and pick it up for my collection.

He was either going to buy this one or the Hugh Duffy...glad he chose this one because for 500$ the Hugh Duffy looks really bad.

That is pretty cool. I wish I had a sibling that would buy me a HOF Old Judge card.
