Would love to own this card looks great for the grade!!! What price do you think it will sell for I am guessing 50 000$.

I saw it was at $32.5K this morning when I checked. I think yours is a fair guess, but actually think it will go higher. It's a beautiful card on the front. I'd love to have it but don't know what I'd give up to get it. I will guess $70K before the juice.

Yeah, I basically blew it. Bet everything on making a run at this Legendary example and my max bid got torched before I could even put it in.

So much for an SGC 10/PSA 1 being worth 15k. Man do I feel like an idiot for not landing one when I could have. I am beginning to think that every time I look at any of my cards from now on, I'm going to be reminded of this epic fail. I suppose that's a good argument for selling off, actually.

Meh, life goes on and you still have some kick ass cards or a big chunk of change, either way. Things could be worse, and you could be a bigger idiot.

And the card in Legendary is not, as already mentioned, your typical "poor" card. We're seeing more and more in this hobby that collectors are paying for the card, and not necessarily the number on the flip (see Goudey Lajoies in REA as well as the T3 Cobbs).

Adrian,

Didn't you say the card wasn't worth more than $10K in a PSA1, and someone you know offered you 2 of them?? I could be wrong as I'm getting old, but I thought you posted that in another thread.

i kinda...strike that...I definitely remember him saying that?!?!

[Zone91]

I also said afterwards that the seller (One Leon's good friends and well know dealer) told me (I later called him back to ask him if he was serious about a value of under 15k) he made a mistake and that he said they are now in 2013 worth 25k to 40k...he had not handled one for a few years hence his mistake. Please see the thread where I did correct myself.

PSA 1 can mean almost anything. Ruth's whole face could be paperloss or it could look EX in the front like this one. I could see huge price discrepancies. If someone offered Adrian one for that price, I'm guessing it's hard on the eyes.

Agreed. 1's and 2's are the diciest grades. They could be beat to hell or have mint fronts with a big penis drawn on the back.

I had a t206 shaugnessy once that had a swastika drawn on the back...I hated it!!!!! It's around here somewhere!!
