Premium for Lionel Carter collection cards

The only reason any of my cards will ever have a premium is because I hopefully have some with great eye appeal. They won't be marked of course and once sold (not too soon) they will just be more cards in the hobby. I can't imagine paying a premium for any collectors cards of today, solely because they were owned by a certain collector. As mentioned, I would pay a small premium for some of the hobby giant forefathers cards.
And also, great cards Jay W........I too am glad to see you posting and hanging out with us...hope you continue to feel and get better.

Leon & Barry, thanks for the support.

Here's another pair I hated to get rid of.



Speaking of hobby pioneers, this is a Jefferson Burdick owned E75 Jack O'Brien boxer
His familiar stampings are on the back, though SGC wouldn't list it as pedigreed
and ended up taking off a couple of grades due to the stampings.

That is a hell of a group of 4 Cobbies from Lionel's collection. It'll be interesting to see if they sell at that price. Always tough to pinpoint a price range when it comes to premiums for Lionel's cards. Some premiums are small, some are crazy. They sure are nice though

I have made numerous purchases from Joe Y over the years and have met him at a few Nationals. He's a straight-up guy. Unlike a lot of eBay sellers Joe actually prices his wares at a realistic level; he does his homework. If that is what he thinks they are worth I am confident that someone will get a square deal on a sweet, solid set of T206 Cobbs.

Joe won the T206 Lionel Carter set from Legendary a few years ago
and I'm grateful he made most of the cards available to the public
though I wish I would have kept 1 or 2 from the small quantity I obtained.

Oh I hope they do sell for that price, that would just mean that premiums are continuing to get even stronger for Lionel's cards. IMO, they're worth it.
