SCP Cy Young cabinets

I must confess to being way out of touch, as I never would have guessed that whether or not a 19th century cabinet or cdv was graded or not would be of any meaningful interest to someone who appreciated an item like that.

I would have thought it would have had zero impact on price, as it's easy enough to get a very clear visual on it, and it's not like there are loads of them lying around. But I do respect Leon's opinion, and he's much more likely to be a player in an auction like this, than am I, so I suppose I just learned something.

I also respect Leon's opinion, which is why I admit to being out of touch, however, I agree with our opinion(runscott).

Who knows, maybe it doesn't matter? My opinion counts as one...So if ya'll disagree then you win, 2-1.

I doubt the holder made any difference. Regardless, amazing pieces and I'm sure the winners are thrilled to have them.

I don't know why a holder (or lack thereof) would make a difference in the pricing.

I'm not saying that from an anti-grading/anti-plastic holder angle nor saying there's anything wrong with wanting it in a labelled holder, just that the Young is more of an autographed photo (in cabinet card form) than a baseball card. Plastic entombment effects the prices of baseball cards not (in general) autographed photos, even when the photos are vintage originals and by famous photographers. An autograph LOA is usually sufficient for an an autographed photo to get get its full auction house value.

+1, David.

I sincerely hope no one took my first holder post seriously. I also hope it didn't sound too sarcastic for those who didn't take it seriously.

(By the way, you need to respond to my email regarding the next Felix game, as I'm buying tickets for the group).
