Premium for Lionel Carter collection cards

Northviewcats · #1 01-25-2014, 11:50 AM

I believe that any additional value given to card based on who collected it in the past is assigned by the purchaser.

For example, I paid a little more for a T206 Tinker from the Skydash collection, solely because I enjoyed remembering how the discovery of the collection unfolded on this board. To me the memory was worth the extra $20 I paid for the card.

Maybe someday my grandson will ask me why the card is encapsulated with Skydah on the label and I will have a good story to tell him about how some old cardboard was rescued from the garbage.

Best regards,

Joe

That is exactly how I feel about this scenario as well. Joe, your explanation was spot on IMO.

There is indeed a premium, but it solely depends on the purchaser. I enjoy purchasing cards with pedigree labels...they give the card more history and if it's someone famous in the hobby, it makes the card that much more special...but that's just me
